Beneteau Antares 12 Fly

The Beneteau Antares 12 Fly is the ultimate expression of the Antares range, designed as a true flagship flybridge cruiser that blends serious offshore capability with luxury, space, and long-range comfort. It’s a boat that feels less like a day cruiser and more like a genuine family yacht, built for extended cruising in confidence and style.

At 12 metres in length, the Antares 12 Fly immediately delivers presence on the water. The hull is engineered for stability and efficiency, offering confident handling in a wide range of sea states. With powerful twin or triple engine options of up to 900hp, it delivers strong offshore performance, smooth cruising speeds, and the kind of control that makes longer passages feel relaxed rather than demanding.

The flybridge is the defining feature. Elevated and open, it creates a second full living and helm area above deck, giving exceptional visibility underway and a completely different perspective when at anchor. It also adds a genuine social zone up top, with seating and lounging space that turns the boat into a multi-level cruising platform. It’s one of those features that fundamentally changes how the boat is used day to day.

On the main deck, the Antares 12 Fly focuses on flow and natural light. The wheelhouse is wide, bright, and surrounded by panoramic glazing, creating a central living space that feels connected to the sea at all times. The cockpit and saloon can be opened up into one continuous space, making entertaining and family time feel effortless and spacious.

Below deck, the accommodation is properly yacht-like. A full owner’s cabin with en-suite sits alongside a VIP cabin and a highly flexible third cabin, giving genuine overnight comfort for extended stays. Combined with convertible saloon space, it can comfortably host larger groups for multi-day cruising without feeling cramped.

Outside, the layout continues the theme of versatility. The aft cockpit is designed for relaxed social use, while side platforms and forward sunbathing areas extend usable space across the entire boat. Everything is designed to make movement easy, whether you’re anchored, swimming, or preparing to head back out to sea.

At the helm, the experience is confident and intuitive. Visibility is excellent from both the main helm and flybridge, and modern systems like joystick control and optional stabilisation systems make handling straightforward even in tight spaces or less-than-perfect conditions.

What defines the Antares 12 Fly is how complete it feels. It’s not just about performance or comfort in isolation – it’s the combination of both, wrapped into a platform that genuinely supports longer voyages, bigger crews, and more ambitious boating plans.
