Beneteau Antares 11 Fly

Overview

The Beneteau Antares 11 Fly represents the flagship expression of the Antares range, taking everything that defines the series – space, safety, and usability – and elevating it with the addition of a fully integrated flybridge that transforms both the driving experience and onboard lifestyle.

Stylish, contemporary, and exceptionally versatile, this 11-metre powerboat is designed for owners who want a genuine weekender without compromise. Combining generous dual-level living areas, reassuring offshore capability, and impressive performance, it feels like a true home on the water.

Whether you are making longer coastal passages, enjoying an extended weekend escape with family, or entertaining friends at anchor, the Antares 11 Fly extends your time on the water in complete comfort and style.

Performance & Cruising

Designed with offshore cruising in mind, the Antares 11 Fly features a well-protected sandwich hull that cuts cleanly through the water, delivering reassuring stability, composed handling, and a remarkably dry ride even when conditions become challenging.

Powered by twin outboard engines delivering up to 2 x 300hp, supported by Seastar Power Assist hydroelectric steering, the Antares 11 Fly offers the power to cruise efficiently along the coast while maintaining the composed handling and nimble control that experienced boaters appreciate. With an 800-litre fuel capacity across twin sealed aluminum tanks (2 x 400L), it opens up a wide cruising range for uninterrupted weekend exploration.

A Bright and Spacious Wheelhouse

The main-deck wheelhouse is defined by vast areas of glazing and a single-piece windscreen, flooding the interior with natural light and offering near panoramic 360° views. It creates a genuinely livable space that works just as well underway as it does anchored in a quiet bay.

The layout has been designed to keep people connected. An L-shaped saloon with a folding table pairs with a clever co-pilot seat that flips seamlessly from forward-facing navigation to social saloon seating. When the sun dips or the weather turns, opening portside windows let the breeze flow through, while integrated blackout curtains transform the space into a cozy, private evening retreat.

Comfortable Accommodation for Extended Weekends

Below deck, the Antares 11 Fly moves firmly into luxury weekender territory, showcasing warm Alpi Noyer woodwork, brown oak floors, and soft Cushy Limestone upholstery. Accommodation comfortably exceeds expectations for a boat of this size, sleeping up to 7 people across a truly impressive layout.

The forward owner’s cabin feels like a private suite, boasting generous 1.93m (6’4”) headroom, a plush double island berth, high-set storage, and side glazing with opening portholes that fill the room with light and sea air. Located midship, the full-beam guest cabin offers another double berth alongside a dedicated 3rd berth – making it an ideal sanctuary for family or guests. The private head compartment features a marine toilet with an 80L holding tank, a washbasin with mixer tap, and a dedicated shower area separated by a translucent door, ensuring everyone feels refreshed after a day on the water.

Fully Equipped Galley

Positioned to starboard in the wheelhouse, the modern galley makes onboard dining feel effortless rather than improvised. Features include:

• Sleek black laminate worktop with a fold-down glass cover
• Fixed 2-ring gas cooker
• Stainless steel sink with pressurised mixer tap (200L fresh water capacity)
• 75L refrigerator (with space in the companionway for an optional second fridge or freezer)
• Dedicated storage drawers and titanium-finish cupboards
• Practical preparation space, integrated bin, and dual cup holders

Whether preparing a quick breakfast before pulling up anchor or hosting a relaxed evening meal with friends, the galley is equipped for every getaway.

Elevated Flybridge Experience

The standout feature of this flagship model is its elevated flybridge, blending seamlessly into the boat’s profile to double your living space without sacrificing her sleek, sporty silhouette. Accessible via a secure ladder with teak-topped steps and a polyester hatch, it opens up a completely new perspective on boating.

Up top, the elevated starboard helm provides commanding views and a relaxed driving feel. Beside it, a 4-person saloon with a removable table creates a delightful, breezy spot for lunch, while the dedicated aft sunbed invites you to soak up the sun at anchor. With dedicated spots for an optional 30L fridge, bimini top, or solar panels, the flybridge quickly becomes everyone’s favourite place to gather.

Social Cockpit & Terraces Designed for Entertaining

Outside, the cockpit acts as a seamless, level extension of the interior lounge. A 3-place sliding aft bench seat transforms into a wide sun deck, complemented by an additional side bench with built-in storage.

The true showstopper is the opening side platform (folding side terrace). At the press of a button or lever, the starboard topside lowers to create an instant sea-view balcony over the water – perfect for morning coffees, easy swimming access, or simply feeling closer to the sea. Integrated swim platforms and a hot/cold cockpit shower make diving in and drying off completely natural.

Safe and Practical Deck Layout

Moving around the Antares 11 Fly feels safe, natural, and intuitive for all ages. High freeboards, deep walkways, and thoughtful handrails give ultimate peace of mind. The asymmetric deck layout features a broader starboard catwalk, paired with a sliding helm door that lets the skipper step straight out onto the deck for effortless single-handed mooring.

Up on the foredeck, a dedicated bow lounge with sunpads offers an idyllic nook to read a book or watch the coast drift by. Behind the scenes, integrated Seanapps technology connects to your smartphone, letting you check battery health, fuel levels, and bilge status remotely so you can focus entirely on enjoying your trip.

Confidence at the Helm

At the helm, everything is set up for total confidence and control. Generous headroom, an adjustable bolster seat, brown oak footrests, and an ergonomic dashboard place every control right at your fingertips.

Visibility is exceptional, the driving position is commanding without being overwhelming, and the responsive twin-engine performance delivers a composed, predictable ride. Whether you are navigating tight marina berths or tracking across open water, it is a platform that makes every journey satisfying.
