Beneteau America Antares 8

Agile, powerful and very habitable, the Antares 8 oozes character. The ideal boat for exploring new shores, she is wonderful for taking a break for a few days, confident that you are completely safe.  The Antares 8 has a flared-out hull that delivers wonderful driving sensations, while boasting excellent seakeeping. The dynamic V design of the cap clearly announces the boat’s stunning aesthetic design. Its clever deck plan offers three different possible cockpit seat layouts. Unique on a boat this size, the Antares 8’s habitability sets it apart from other motor cruisers in this category. The wheelhouse is accessed by a large sliding glass door, sheltering a well-equipped modular living space. There is a real double cabin below the wheelhouse at the bow of the boat, with storage and a shower en suite, so you can stay on board for a few days. With walnut stained woodwork, the boat offers a very contemporary atmosphere. Designed to make living on board a real pleasure, the Antares 8’s exterior and interior fittings make coastal cruising feel like a long-distance cruise.

Boat located at south end of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, NY in covered Boat House marine during the summer, then pulled out of water at the slip and stored in same covered boat house.  So, no outdoor weather wear to the boat.
