This is an exceptionally well-specified Antares 760. With the addition of the bow thruster, diesel heating, and full canvas canopy, she is perfectly set up for comfortable, multi-day coastal cruising in any weather. The highly sought-after shaft drive setup ensures simpler, lower-cost maintenance compared to sterndrive models.
Early viewings are highly recommended, as highly capable, shaft-driven pocket cruisers with this level of specification are in immense demand.
Â
The Beneteau Antares 760 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable, stable, and practical pocket cruisers ever built. Featuring a highly efficient hull and an RCD Category B (Offshore) rating, this boat offers exceptional sea-keeping capabilitiesâgiving you complete confidence whether you are navigating calm bays or handling coastal chop.
Â
Powered by a robust 200hp Volvo Penta TAMD41P inboard diesel engine on a traditional shaft drive, this vessel delivers the perfect balance of economic cruising and reliable performance. This particular example comes equipped with premium upgrades usually found on much larger vessels, including a bow thruster for stress-free docking, diesel heating for year-round cruising comfort, and a full cockpit canopy enclosure that effectively doubles your usable living space.
