Beneteau Antares 7 Fishing

The Beneteau Antares 7 Fishing takes the proven comfort and practicality of the Antares 7 and sharpens its focus towards serious time on the water. Built on the same stable, confidence-inspiring hull, it delivers a smooth, predictable ride that lets you concentrate on the task at hand – whether that’s tracking fish, setting lines, or simply making the most of a quiet day offshore.

At its core, this is a boat designed to work. Strong, sporty lines carry through from the standard Antares 7, but everything about the layout has been optimised for time spent fishing rather than just cruising.

Performance & Handling

The Antares 7 Fishing shares its stable, semi-displacement hull with the standard Antares 7, giving the same predictable, confidence-inspiring ride whether you’re manoeuvring slowly around a fishing spot or cruising between locations. A range of engine options are available, so the boat can be tailored to suit different styles of angling and boating.

An Enclosed Wheelhouse, Built for the Elements

Where most fishing boats leave you exposed, the Antares 7 Fishing’s enclosed wheelhouse really sets it apart. It provides shelter from the elements, extending your time on the water when conditions aren’t perfect, while large windows offer excellent visibility in all directions – keeping you connected to what’s happening outside while staying protected from wind and spray.

A Cockpit Built for Fishing

The cockpit has been optimised for fishing, offering a clear, uncluttered, completely open deck layout with excellent access around the boat. Everything is designed to keep you organised without getting in your own way – functional without feeling basic, striking a genuine balance between usability and comfort.

The side access gate makes docking easier, and simplifies hauling in and releasing fish.

Fully Equipped for Serious Fishing

The Antares 7 Fishing comes with everything you need for memorable trips on the water, including:

• Fully equipped fishing station
• Dedicated storage for lures and hooks
• Water circulation live bait well
• Rod holders
• Cup holders
• Chopping board

For anglers who want to go further, the following options are also available:

• Additional 9-inch display connected to the sounder
• 5 additional rod holders on the hardtop
• Spotlight

A Comfortable, Modular Saloon

Inside, the modular saloon adapts to however you’re using the boat that day, with a pivoting driver’s seat and a co-driver’s bench seat that flips round in moments to create a facing area with the second bench seat, or a berth.

Behind the driver’s seat sits a fully-equipped galley, complete with fridge and cooktop.

Practical Accommodation for Longer Trips

Below deck, the forward cabin adds a layer of practicality that many dedicated fishing boats simply don’t offer – a comfortable space to rest, store gear, or stay overnight when needed. With a fully-equipped galley and a cabin with a separate toilet, you can comfortably extend your weekend trips.

Confidence at the Helm

At the helm, the design is simple and effective. Controls are clearly laid out, visibility is strong, and handling feels steady and predictable throughout the range – giving you the confidence to focus on the fishing, not the boat.

Why Choose the Beneteau Antares 7 Fishing?

Despite its fishing-focused layout, the Antares 7 Fishing still retains real versatility. It switches easily from a practical angling platform to a relaxed day boat, making it just as suitable for family outings as it is for early starts chasing the next catch.

It’s a boat that prioritises reliability, usability and comfort – giving you the freedom to stay out longer and make more of every trip.
