Beneteau Antares 7 Fishing

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.

Beneteau Antares 7

Beneteau Antares 7

Overview

The Beneteau Antares 7 is a compact cruiser that feels far bigger than its size suggests, combining practicality, comfort and reassuring performance in a design built for real-world boating.

Part of a range with over 40 years of heritage, spanning models from 6m right up to 11m, the Antares 7 carries the unmistakable look of a true pilothouse cruiser – and once you step inside, that identity becomes even clearer. Its semi-displacement hull and high freeboard deliver a stable, predictable ride that inspires confidence, whether you’re exploring sheltered waters or heading out along the coast.

Compact enough to tow behind a mid-sized vehicle, yet spacious enough for overnight trips, the Antares 7 opens up a world of coastal exploration without the ongoing costs of permanent berthing or mooring fees.

Performance & Handling

The Antares 7’s hull has recently been redesigned to make the most of outboard power, with a sharp entry and flared bow combining with a moderate deadrise and wide reversed chines to deliver a soft ride and excellent stability at rest. An unusual convex shape just above the waterline helps the bow cut cleanly through the seas.

Fitted with a 150hp Mercury four-stroke outboard, the Antares 7 reached a top speed of 33 knots (61km/h), with the efficient hull settling onto the plane at around 10 knots and 2800rpm. Cruising at 18 knots returned a fuel burn of 22 litres per hour, giving a range of approximately 125 nautical miles. Acceleration is strong, with no cavitation at takeoff.

Performance is steady and efficient, with engine options that balance power and economy well. The Antares 7 isn’t about outright speed, it’s about confidence, control, and making every journey feel comfortable, regardless of the conditions.

An Enclosed, All-Weather Wheelhouse

From the outside, the Antares 7 carries the unmistakable look of a true pilothouse cruiser. Step inside and that identity becomes even clearer – the enclosed wheelhouse creates a protected, comfortable environment, making it an ideal choice for extending your time on the water beyond the warmer months.

Large windows and ventilation openings flood the interior with natural light while offering excellent all-round visibility, keeping the helm position connected to the surroundings at all times.

Comfortable Accommodation for Overnight Trips

Below deck, the forward cabin offers a cosy double berth, shaped neatly into the angled side walls and walnut bulkhead, giving the Antares 7 genuine overnight capability. Storage is thoughtfully worked in too, with holds under the bed and a hatch providing access for servicing the bowthruster and battery.

A compact head is fitted alongside, complete with an electric-flush toilet connected to a holding tank with level gauge and pump-out.

For additional flexibility, the saloon dinette lowers to create an occasional second double berth, with cushions stored beneath the seats when not in use – ideal for extra guests staying overnight.

A Smart, Functional Galley

The galley is compact but well thought through, located to starboard behind the pilot’s seat, which hinges forward to open up extra room for cooking.

Features include:

  • 45-litre upright fridge
  • Single burner gas cooktop
  • Moulded fibreglass sink with tap
  • Practical under-bench storage

A Sociable Saloon and Cockpit

The saloon is cleverly arranged to make the most of the available space, with comfortable, adaptable seating that creates a sociable area for meals, conversation, or simply taking a break from the elements. A swivelling pilot’s seat and a co-pilot benchseat that tilts to face the second benchseat add real versatility, and can also be set up to form a berth.

Out in the cockpit, the U-shaped seating layout comfortably seats up to five, with all the seating and the large folding table converting into a spacious sunpad when at rest. A sturdy, twin-legged table slots into the cockpit sole for outdoor dining at anchor. The cockpit is designed for flexibility. It provides a safe, usable space for fishing, relaxing, or enjoying time at anchor, with easy access to the swim platforms for those who want to get closer to the water.

Safe and Practical Deck Layout

The starboard side gate makes docking easier and provides an additional, safe access point to the water for swimming or hauling in a catch. Swim platforms sit either side of the engine, with a recessed ladder folding out from the starboard gate for easy access back aboard.

Walkaround side decks make moving forward simple and safe, even with family or guests on board, leading to a bow sunpad with removable cushions and side rails for security. Moulded corner seats double as steps to the sides.

On outboard versions, the space that would otherwise house an inboard engine room becomes a roomy lazarette, adding useful extra storage.

Confidence at the Helm

At the helm, everything is designed with ease of use in mind – a simple, clear, ergonomic layout that allows for relaxed, confident handling whether you’re navigating tight marinas or cruising steadily along the coast. Bolster seating gives a commanding view, with a removable platform offering the option to stand, with up to 1.9m of head height available.

It’s a boat that focuses on usability and comfort, delivering a dependable, well-rounded cruising experience that feels right at home in UK waters.

A Connected Boat

Through the Seanapps mobile app and onboard unit, owners can check the status of the boat’s systems – including battery charge, fuel and water tank levels, and maintenance scheduling – straight from their smartphone, as well as plan routes and review sailing status on the move.

Why Choose the Beneteau Antares 7?

What defines the Antares 7 is its versatility. It’s a boat built for the family leisure market that also holds its own for short coastal adventures, relaxed day trips, and genuine overnight escapes – all from a package compact enough to tow behind a mid-sized vehicle, sidestepping the ongoing costs of permanent berthing.

A dedicated Fishing version is also available, with a deck layout and equipment tailored for a great day’s fishing.

For boaters wanting an overnight-capable, road-towable pocket cruiser with sporty, confident handling, the Beneteau Antares 7 is a genuinely versatile choice for UK waters.

Beneteau Flyer 10 Sport Top

Beneteau Flyer 10 Sport Top

The Beneteau Flyer 10 Sport Top takes the flagship Flyer platform and adds a whole new level of protection, versatility, and all-weather capability. Designed for boaters who want the space and performance of a large day cruiser, but with added comfort when conditions change, the Sport Top version introduces a sleek hardtop with an integrated sliding roof, creating a flexible environment that adapts to sun, wind, or spray with ease.

Built on Beneteau’s proven Air Step® hull, the Flyer 10 Sport Top delivers confident offshore performance with impressive stability and efficiency. The twin-engine setup provides strong acceleration and precise handling, giving the boat a reassuringly solid feel whether cruising at speed or easing through tighter marina manoeuvres. It’s a platform designed to handle longer coastal passages without compromising on comfort.

The Sport Top hard structure transforms the onboard experience. With its full-length windscreen and protective roof, the helm and cockpit feel enclosed and secure when needed, yet open and airy when the sliding roof is retracted. This balance makes the Flyer 10 Sport Top particularly well suited to changeable UK conditions, extending the usable season and keeping time on the water enjoyable in more varied weather.

Aft, the cockpit is built around social boating. Generous seating, a well-thought-out layout, and seamless access to the swim platforms create a space that works just as well for entertaining at anchor as it does for relaxed cruising with family and friends. Everything feels open, practical, and easy to move through, even with a full crew onboard.

Forward, the integrated sundeck remains a key feature, offering a large and comfortable lounging area that blends naturally into the boat’s overall design. Beneath, the interior cabin adds another layer of versatility, providing sleeping accommodation, storage, and a private enclosed space that turns the Flyer 10 Sport Top into a genuine overnight cruiser.

At the helm, the driving experience is confident and intuitive. Visibility is excellent thanks to the elevated position and wide windscreen, while the layout keeps all controls within easy reach. The boat responds cleanly and predictably, giving a reassuring sense of control whether cruising offshore or manoeuvring in tighter waters.

Performance remains one of its strongest assets. The Air Step® hull helps the boat rise quickly onto the plane, improving both efficiency and ride comfort. It feels stable through chop and composed at speed, giving it the capability to handle longer distances and more ambitious cruising plans.

With a wide range of engine options and factory extras available, the Flyer 10 Sport Top can be tailored to suit different boating lifestyles. Whether focused on extended cruising, family adventures, or all-weather day boating, it delivers a refined, capable, and highly adaptable package.
