Thirty knots from nine metres is not a number you expect to see written down twice.
Twin 200 horsepower outboards are her standard fit, with 175 horsepower Suzuki or 200 horsepower Yamaha units offered as alternatives, and the difference they make is immediate. Cruising settles at a genuine 22 knots, with 30 knots available when the moment calls for it, figures that put her closer to a sportsboat than a family cruiser. A 400 litre fuel tank and a light glass reinforced plastic hull combine for a real world range of around 200 nautical miles, enough for a coastal crossing without a fuel stop halfway through. For a boat this compact, the performance never feels borrowed from a larger design.
Sarrazin Design has given the Antares 9 a stance that reads faster than her length suggests.
A raised bow moulding and a single elongated hull window carry the eye forward, while an extended roofline over the aft cockpit can be specified with a soft top or solar panels, a small but useful nod to owners who spend long days at anchor. A side gate to starboard, fitted with an optional swim ladder, keeps the transition from deck to water simple rather than an afterthought. The forty square foot cockpit is generous for the category, built to seat up to eight for lunch or drinks without anyone feeling hemmed in by the console or the gunwale.
Below decks she thinks like a much larger yacht, just at a scale that suits a smaller crew.
The forward cabin takes a proper double, while a second, transverse berth is tucked beneath the saloon sole, unlocking overnight capacity for four without adding a third cabin’s worth of length. The saloon itself runs a five seat port dinette that folds into co-pilot seating or an extra berth depending on the day’s plan, and a shared wetroom style head with a separate shower keeps the practicalities out of sight. Lacquered furniture, walnut woodwork and tufted upholstery lift the cabin well above what her outboard cruiser silhouette might suggest from outside.
Four sleeping guests, two cabins and a saloon built to double as a second living room.
Beneteau Powerboats handled the interior architecture in house, and it shows in how efficiently the volume is used. The forward owner’s cabin gets natural light through the hull’s elongated window and enough headroom to stand and dress properly, a detail smaller cruisers often sacrifice first. Storage is worked into every dead space, from under bed lockers to shelving around the saloon’s perimeter, so a week aboard never feels like living out of a bag. The wetroom head serves both cabins without demanding a second, dedicated bathroom footprint, a sensible compromise for a boat of this size.
A genuine two cabin cruiser with real point to point range, priced to be a first yacht rather than a stretch.
Built by Beneteau Powerboats with Beneteau Engineering behind the systems, the Antares 9 measures 9 metres on a 3 metre beam and draws just 0.9 metres, shallow enough for the kind of anchorages larger yachts pass by. Displacement comes in at 4,850 kilograms, light enough for the twin outboard package to deliver genuine sporting performance rather than a compromised cruise. New pricing starts at approximately 125,000 euros, positioning her as an accessible entry point into two cabin ownership rather than a bare day boat. For an owner who wants a proper yacht experience without a proper yacht’s overhead, she is a rare and honest fit.
