A single outboard, up to 150 hp, is all the Antares 7 needs to feel composed at speed.
Cruising at 20 knots and reaching a 28 knot top speed, she uses her light 1,850 kilogram displacement and 0.8 metre draught to stay quick without demanding a large engine. Owners can specify a Suzuki, Yamaha or Mercury outboard depending on preference, each rated to a similar output. Testing on the model has shown the move from displacement speed to full plane happening with barely a shift in trim, and the hull holding a dry, settled ride even when the sea turns confused. It is a boat that rewards a light hand rather than a heavy throttle.
Rough water is where the Antares 7 quietly proves her design.
Testers running her through wave heights of around 1.2 metres combined with a heavy cross sea reported the boat staying safe and surprisingly dry at full throttle, with steering that stayed solid and assured whether the water was rough or calm. The self draining cockpit and manual bilge pump back up that composure, while a fully tilting outboard keeps the motor clear of the water at rest. For a 7.5 metre boat, she covers open water with a settled, unhurried confidence that owners of larger yachts would recognise.
Beneteau describes her foredeck shape as tulip like, and once you see it, it is hard to unsee.
The curved forward cabin roof tapers back into a practical, uncluttered deck, with side decks wide enough to move along safely even with the cabin close alongside. A self draining anchor locker sits ready at the bow, with an electric winch available as an option, and a telescopic bathing ladder folds away at the transom when not needed. The overall profile is compact and trailerable rather than imposing, a boat designed to be towed to a new coastline as readily as she is kept afloat in one place.
Below decks she sleeps two in comfort, with room for more if the trip is a short one.
A convertible forward double berth is the heart of the cabin, backed by a separate enclosed head, a rare comfort on a boat this size. The dinette converts to an additional single or double berth for family trips, and storage runs throughout the cabin rather than being squeezed into a single locker. A sliding driver’s seat folds forward to open up galley access, keeping the whole boat feeling larger than her 7.5 metre length suggests. It is accommodation built for weekends away rather than pure day trips, without ever feeling cramped.
An entry point into The Yacht Collection built on genuine capability, not just an attractive price.
At 7.5 metres length overall and a 2.5 metre beam, she displaces 1,850 kilograms and carries 170 litres of fuel for a 200 nautical mile range. Beneteau’s own naval architecture, design and engineering teams built her throughout, and she seats up to eight guests for the day while sleeping four across her single cabin and dinette. Priced from 65,000 euros new, she offers a straightforward route into yacht ownership, small enough to trail and maintain easily, capable enough to take on a genuinely rough crossing. For a first yacht or a practical addition to a larger fleet, she is a sound and well proven choice.
