Antares 12 Coupe: a cruiser for all seasons, to share with family
by Beneteau Group 29 Jul 09:24 UTC
Faithful to the Antares line, the Antares 12 Coupe asserts its position as a versatile family cruiser, designed to accompany you on long passages, across all latitudes.
Resulting from proven savoir-faire and complementing the Antares 12 Fly, she combines comfort, elegance, and innovation in a spirit of shared simple pleasures and peace of mind.
Making her world debut at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show, and her North American premiere at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show, the Antares 12 Coupe sets a new standard in all-season cruising.
Designed for family: Welcoming and modular
Designed for those who enjoy sharing their passion for the sea with family, the Antares 12 Coupe embodies the spirit of community, that defines the Antares line. On board, every detail has been carefully designed for sharing and entertaining: the large, L-shaped modular cockpit saloon can be arranged according to preference, and the forward sundeck with integrated bench seating becomes a privileged place for making the most of stopovers.
Ideal for marine activities with family, an electrically deployed starboard terrace provides a natural extension of the exterior living space and facilitates water access for paddleboarding or swimming.
The Antares 12 Coupe is ideal for cruising with family or weekend getaways with friends, as it perfectly combines spacious living areas with modular design. Bright and refined, the large owner's cabin features a private head and shower compartment, while guests also enjoy a fully equipped cabin with a private head and shower of their own. A third modular living space can be transformed to suit the owner's needs and preferences, as an additional berth or as a storage area. With the convertible saloon in the wheelhouse, the Antares 12 Coupe accommodates up to eight people on board for a beautiful night at anchor along the coast.
Designed to offer remarkable comfort, the Antares 12 Coupe is perfectly adapted for offshore cruising. Much more than a weekender, she provides ideal conditions for spending multiple days on board, cruising at your own pace, with full peace of mind.
A cruiser for all seasons, for all horizons
The Antares 12 Coupe is distinguished by an optimized configuration for cruising in all conditions. Her extended protective coachroof ensures excellent cockpit coverage, which can be enhanced by an optional lateral canvas cockpit closing kit. For the sunniest destinations, an integrated retractable soft roof may also be added for a generous opening to the sky, bathing the cockpit in sunlight. Natural ventilation, protection from the sun, or shelter in cooler weather: simple solutions are provided for comfort in all circumstances, whether cruising offshore in Scandinavia or in the tropics.
The Antares 12 Coupe offers an intuitive flow of movement throughout the exterior, free of obstacles. Secure sidedecks enable easy movement from the cockpit to the forward sundeck, as well as facilitating docking maneuvers.
The high-performance hull, paired with twin 400 HP or triple 300 HP engines, delivers optimal power and agility especially when piloting with its joystick. The optional Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizerenhances cruising comfort in all conditions. Coupled with the Seanapps connected system, which enables you to monitor and prepare your boat from a distance, these discrete but effective technological solutions contribute to a smooth, simplified daily life on board.
Spotlight on elegance: a refined, contemporary design
The Antares 12 Coupe is equipped with a large electric opening sunroof, for a living space awash in natural light. Inside, the sliding glass door disappears to create perfect continuity from the cockpit to the wheelhouse, ensuring easy passage between living spaces.
Meticulous attention to materials and finishes creates a refined atmosphere on board. The wheelhouse, truly the heart of the boat, features remarkable standing headroom, which accentuates the sensation of spaciousness while leaving room for generous storage. Offering a panoramic view, the Antares 12 Coupe also boasts a spacious U-shaped saloon, as well as a fully equipped galley, ready for all your culinary inspirations. Indirect lighting, subtle detailing, and premium upholstery complete an interior designed for everyday comfort and unforgettable moments on board.
With her unique design and contemporary silhouette, the Antares 12 Coupe revisits the aesthetic codes that have been the signature of the line for 45 years. Together, the rubrail and windows in the hull create a fluid line, while the sculpted, protective aft coachroof contributes to overall aesthetic balance.
Every detail and finish reflects the ambition of this model: to set a new standard in the world of family cruisers, where functionality meets style.
