Beneteau Antares 11 Coupe

Beneteau Antares 11 Coupe Overview

The Beneteau Antares 11 Coupe is the flagship of the Antares range, a true modern family weekender that pushes firmly into small motor cruiser territory while keeping the Antares DNA of safety, usability and practical design that has defined the range for over 40 years.

Built at around 11 metres in length overall, it’s the result of a new collaboration between Beneteau and Sarrazin Design, giving the Antares 11 Coupe a bold, spirited silhouette and vast areas of glazing through the wheelhouse that immediately set it apart.

Whether you’re planning multi-day cruising or simply extending your weekends on the water, the Antares 11 Coupe delivers proper overnight accommodation, generous social space and confident offshore performance, without losing the ease of use the Antares range is known for.

Performance & Handling

Powered by twin outboard engines up to 2 x 300hp, the Antares 11 Coupe delivers strong offshore performance with the stability and control needed for longer coastal passages – so the whole family can relax, not just the skipper. A well-protected hull, high freeboards and large walkways ensure excellent seakeeping behaviour, keeping everyone secure and steady underfoot.

Twin aluminium fuel tanks (2 x 400L), housed in a sealed and ventilated compartment, give you genuine range for coastal exploration – go further afield without watching the fuel gauge.

A Wheelhouse Flooded with Light

Bold, contemporary styling runs straight through the wheelhouse, where a one-piece translucent glass windscreen and wide side glazing flood the interior with natural light and give near-panoramic visibility – so you never lose touch with the view, whether you’re underway or anchored in a quiet bay. Headroom of 2.00m means even taller guests can stand, stretch and move about in comfort.

Two sliding wheelhouse panels with blackout blinds and mosquito nets, opening portside windows, and a four-leaf aft window door give you full control over light, air and privacy. The wheelhouse connects naturally with the aft cockpit to create one easy, sociable space – a big part of what makes this model feel larger than its footprint.

Comfortable Accommodation for Extended Stays

This is where the Antares 11 Coupe stops feeling like a day boat and starts feeling like a proper escape. Two private cabins deliver genuine overnight comfort, not just a place to crash.

The forward cabin pairs a double berth with 1.93m of headroom, under-bed storage, a hanging cupboard, further cupboards and cubbyholes, an opening deck hatch and two opening portholes – everything you need to properly unpack for a few days away.

Midship, the full-beam guest cabin brings a double bed and a third convertible berth, plus its own hanging cupboard and storage, which is room enough for family or friends to join without anyone feeling squeezed in.

Both cabins share the heads: marine toilet, basin with mixer tap, a shower behind a translucent door, and an 80-litre holding tank – everything you’d want on a longer trip.

Fold out the convertible saloon and you’ve got sleeping space for up to around seven, turning a weekend cruiser into a genuine base for the whole crew.

Fully Equipped Galley

Located to starboard, the galley is fitted with a black laminate worktop with a tinted glass fold-down lid to protect the surface, a stainless steel sink with a cold water mixer tap, and a fixed two-ring gas cooker.

Features include:

• 75-litre refrigerator
• Fixed 2-ring gas cooker
• Stainless steel sink with cold water mixer tap (25L water heater optional)
• Storage drawer and cupboard with lacquered titanium doors
• Space at the companionway for an additional 75-litre fridge or freezer (optional)

Whether preparing breakfast before a day on the water or hosting a relaxed evening meal at anchor, the galley makes onboard living feel effortless.

A Social Cockpit Built for Entertaining

Measuring 1.61m long by 2.26m wide, the self-bailing aft cockpit is designed for relaxed, social boating – the natural gathering spot once the anchor’s down. A sliding three-place aft bench seat has a seat back that converts into a sun deck, so the same space that hosts dinner can double as somewhere to stretch out and catch the last of the sun.

Twin swim platforms extend past the outboards to enhance boarding, and a drop-down, terrace-like starboard section increases the size of the aft deck when at anchor, opening the cockpit right up to the water. A large, lockable central cockpit locker with gas-piston-assisted opening, a cockpit shower and a telescopic swimming ladder round out a genuinely practical space, so a swim stop is as easy as everything else onboard.

Safe and Practical Deck Layout

Moving around the Antares 11 Coupe is easy, not an obstacle course. The wider starboard side deck gives clear passage from cockpit to foredeck, whether you’re handling lines or heading up to the sunpad.

A stainless steel open pulpit runs the length of the cockpit, backed by asymmetric catwalks and handrails at every turn, so footing stays sure whatever the conditions. And with a sliding starboard side door and opening gate, pulling alongside a dock and stepping ashore is a one-person job – no crew required!

Confidence at the Helm

The steering station offers 1.93m of headroom and the driving position feels natural and elevated without being isolated – you’re in command, but never cut off from everyone else onboard. A pilot console with space for electronics, a steering compass, rev counter, fuel and engine gauge indicator, and Seastar Power Assist hydroelectric steering keep everything you need close at hand and effortless to use.

The bolster-function adjustable pilot seat matches the exterior upholstery, while footrests and cup holders make longer runs feel just as easy as short hops. A copilot seat with a swivelling seat back switches easily between navigation and saloon positions, so whoever’s not driving is never left out of the conversation.

A Connected Boat

The Seanapps mobile app and onboard unit let owners check the boat’s systems; battery charge, fuel and water tank levels, and maintenance scheduling – from a smartphone, as well as plan routes and review sailing status remotely.
