Beneteau Antares 11 Coupe

The Beneteau Antares 11 Coupe is the flagship of the Antares range, designed as a true modern family weekender that pushes firmly into “small motor cruiser” territory while keeping the Antares DNA of safety, usability, and practical design.

Built at around 11 metres in length, it immediately stands out for its bold, contemporary styling and the huge glazed surfaces running through the wheelhouse. This isn’t just for looks – those wide windows completely transform life onboard, flooding the interior with natural light and giving near panoramic visibility whether you’re cruising or anchored up in a quiet bay.

Step inside and the focus on space becomes obvious. The Antares 11 Coupe is designed around a bright, open saloon with a modular layout that adapts easily between cruising, dining, and lounging. The wheelhouse connects naturally with the aft cockpit, creating a single social zone that works brilliantly for families or groups. Everything feels connected and easy to move through, which is a big part of what makes this model feel larger than its footprint.

Below deck, it moves well beyond typical day-boat capability. There’s a full-beam aft cabin with three berths and a forward master cabin with its own en-suite shower, giving proper overnight accommodation for extended stays. A convertible saloon adds further flexibility, allowing the boat to comfortably host up to around seven people overnight when configured correctly.

At the helm, the experience is confident and reassuring. Visibility is excellent thanks to the wraparound glazing, and the driving position feels natural and elevated without being isolated. With twin outboard engines available up to around 2 × 300hp, the Antares 11 Coupe delivers strong offshore performance with the stability and control needed for longer coastal passages.

Outside, the aft cockpit is designed for relaxed, social boating. It flows neatly into the swim platforms, making water access easy and giving the stern area a real sense of openness when at anchor. Forward, safe walkaround side decks make movement around the boat simple and secure, even when conditions are less than perfect.

What really defines the Antares 11 Coupe is how complete it feels. It’s not just a day boat stretched to its limit – it’s a proper weekender that can genuinely handle multi-day cruising in comfort, without losing the ease of use that makes the Antares range so popular.
