The Antares 42 is perfectly designed for family cruising. High-performing and truly seafaring, the boat which now replaces the Antares 12 , combines an elegant sleek profile with a surprisingly spacious stylish interior.
2011: Nominated in the "Flybridge up to 55 feet" category
A remarkable hull:
The Antares 42 hull has been designed by the BENETEAU powerboat design office, whose know-how is now wellestablished
and has widely proved a tremendous success with boaters.
Some interesting statistics to remember that illustrate this know-how: There are more than 15,500
Antares sailing the seas and oceans, and the Antares 42 will be the forty-ninth Antares model
designed by Beneteau.
Designed for cruising, the Antares 42 has an exceptional output, one of the best in its category. There are several
advantages obtained by this work on the hull:
With propulsion by means of two shaft drive 380 HP Yanmar engines, the Antares 42 can reach a speed of almost
30 knots*.
Successful integration into the boat’s design:
The Sarrazin Design designers bring to the Antares 42 its stretched, elegant lines. In this way they are able to
create an attractive harmony between the hull and deck lines and where these connect with the flybridge.
The Flybridge brings new aspects to life on board:
The flybridge driving position plays a large part in the
pleasure experience when at sea on board an Antares. The
BENETEAU design office team has also looked at this
particularly carefully: a comfortable driver’s seat, perfect
visibility ahead and astern for manoeuvring, protection for
everyone at sea with a perfectly sized windscreen, the
positioning of all the navigation electronics, etc.
In addition the Flybridge has a large sunbathing platform,
which can be used at sea and when stopped, together with
an exterior saloon, whose capacity is one of its other strong
points (U-shaped saloon with table). It is a real “terrace with
a sea view”.
* Maximum speed varies according to the load on board.

“XXL” LIVING SPACES
The interior living spaces have definitely been increased, so that the Antares 42 now has space for living and moving around that could only previously be found on bigger boats. This search to optimise space we can find in
a great number of the ideas brought to the Antares 42, such as:
Access to the wheelhouse:
This is by means of a triple sliding door, making it easier to move around, and giving an increased feeling of well
being (ventilation, exterior vision).
A remarkable saloon:
Remarkable for its size - 6 to 8 persons can be seated around the table – and remarkable for its great luminosity
and panoramic sea view. For the evening in harbour a curtain protects against anyone outside looking in
Up to 6 comfortable berths:
The Antares 42 has two cabins with heads compartments, one of which is fitted with a separate shower for greater comfort for those on board. The saloon can be converted to give two additional extra berths.
A galley designed for practicality:
The L-shaped galley is fitted with generous stowage for optimal life on board.
A double driving position:
The Antares 42 is a “sharing” boat - not just to share the pleasure of living on board but also to share navigation.
The driving position has a large bench seat that takes two people.
A large bathing platform:
The large bathing platform at the stern of the Antares 42 has been well thought out to enjoy swimming. (1.25m x
4m, it accommodates the bathing ladder, a shower, access gate aft, wet locker etc). This bathing platform also
provides a very safe access to the boat when in harbour.
