2024 Beneteau Antares 9 – Twin Mercury 200XL DTS | Generator | Air Conditioning | Bow Thruster | Freshwater

If you’ve been searching for a boat that bridges the gap between a large day boat and a small cruiser, this 2024 Beneteau Antares 9 deserves a close look.

Ordered with an exceptional list of factory options, this Antares was built for owners who want the freedom to spend weekends away without giving up the simplicity and efficiency of an outboard-powered boat. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet cove, spending the weekend at your favorite marina, or making the crossing to your next destination, this boat has the amenities to stay comfortable long after the sun goes down.

One of the standout features is the factory-installed Westerbeke 3.5 kW generator. Combined with 16,000 BTU air conditioning, forced-air heat, shore power, a 25-amp battery charger, water heater, and a fully equipped galley, this Antares truly becomes a self-contained cruiser rather than just a day boat. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to anchor out for the weekend or tie up at the dock with all the comforts of home.

Power comes from twin Mercury 200 HP Digital Throttle & Shift outboards, providing smooth, reliable performance while maintaining excellent maneuverability around the dock. A bow thruster makes close-quarter handling even easier, while Lenco electric trim tabs help deliver a comfortable ride in varying conditions.

The helm is equipped with the factory Garmin electronics package and was upgraded by the selling dealer with a Garmin Phantom 18″ radar, giving you added confidence when boating in reduced visibility or during longer passages. A Graphite cockpit enclosure was also professionally installed, significantly extending your boating season while providing additional protection from the elements.  

Inside, the Antares offers an inviting, bright cabin with accommodations for family and friends. A forward owner’s berth, private mid-cabin, convertible dinette, enclosed head, and functional galley make overnight trips comfortable without feeling cramped. Large windows throughout the wheelhouse provide outstanding visibility while filling the interior with natural light.

Finished in the desirable Grey Blue hull color with the upgraded Elegance upholstery package, this boat presents beautifully and has the equipment buyers are looking for.
