Beneteau’s Antares 12 Coupe: Comfort Meets Adventure

Making its world debut at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show and set for its North American premiere in 2026 at the Miami International Boat Show, the Antares 12 Coupe from Beneteau builds on 45 years of Antares heritage. Designed for long passages and coastal exploration, this new model is a versatile cruiser created with families in mind. 

Beneteau tell us that every element of the Antares 12 Coupe has been developed for relaxed, sociable cruising. A modular cockpit saloon, forward sundeck with integrated bench, and an electrically deployed starboard terrace provide flexible spaces for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying water sports. 

Below deck, comfort continues with a spacious owner’s cabin complete with a private head and shower. A second guest cabin also features its own bathroom, while a third space can be adapted as needed. Including a convertible saloon, the vessel can sleep up to eight guests. 

From sunny Mediterranean anchorages to brisk Scandinavian crossings, the Antares 12 Coupe has been designed for a wide range of climates. Features include an extended protective coachroof, optional canvas cockpit enclosure, and an integrated retractable soft roof. Safe sidedecks offer unimpeded movement from bow to stern. 

With a high-performance hull and engine options of twin 400 HP or triple 300 HP, the Antares 12 Coupe is said to deliver a confident offshore handling. Joystick piloting simplifies manoeuvring, while an optional Seakeeper stabiliser boosts comfort at sea. Beneteau’s Seanapps connected system adds remote monitoring and maintenance tools for effortless ownership. 

Inside, the wheelhouse benefits from ample headroom and a panoramic view, blending smoothly with the cockpit via a disappearing sliding glass door. A large electric sunroof and indirect lighting enhance the refined atmosphere. With premium finishes and a fully equipped galley, the Antares 12 Coupe is set to balances style with practicality.
