NONAME
8m | Beneteau | Antares 760
Built 2003, the ever popular Beneteau Antares 760 powered by 150hp Volvo Penta Diesel engine is one of the best-balanced models from the early Antares range — practical, seaworthy, and uncomplicated.
A proper offshore-capable design with reassuring semi-displacement handling.
Reasons to love her:
Safe walkaround side decks are rare on boats of this size and hugely appreciated in rougher conditions or when handling lines.
Economical single diesel shaft-drive setup delivers dependable cruising with lower maintenance complexity than sterndrives or twin engines.
Excellent visibility from the enclosed wheelhouse makes year-round boating genuinely comfortable in UK weather.
Spacious accommodation for a sub-8m boat, including a convertible saloon, enclosed heads, and practical galley.
Strong reputation as a true “all-rounder†— equally suited to fishing, coastal cruising, estuary exploring, and weekend family trips.
Deep cockpit and solid handholds give the boat a secure, confidence-inspiring feel underway.
Traditional shaft-drive layout gives a reassuring “proper little ship†character that many owners love.
Compact enough for affordable berthing and economical running, while still feeling like a genuine cruiser rather than a dayboat.
The enclosed pilothouse design extends the boating season dramatically in colder climates.
Timeless styling — the 2003 Antares 760 still looks purposeful and attractive over twenty years later.
She is Equipped with Bowthruster for ease of manoeuvrability and diesel heating
Her current owners have meticulously cared for her and she was Coppercoated in Jan 2026.
Her prized MYH Pontoon berth may also be available by separate negotiation.
