Overview
"I want a 40-footer with a proper enclosed wheelhouse, two real cabins below, and outboards I can flip up at the dock — without giving up offshore range."
Who this boat is for
Owners who want a true 40-foot weekender with enclosed wheelhouse, two real cabins below, and outboard simplicity at the transom — family cruising with offshore manners.
Hisham's take
The Antares 12 Coupé is Beneteau's flagship outboard cruiser — a 12-metre coupé designed for owners who want the enclosed wheelhouse, panoramic glazing and proper two-cabin layout of a sportcruiser, with the simplicity of outboard power at the back. Designed by Sarrazin Design, built around twin or triple white outboards, with a side platform, fold-down swim platform, and a salon that genuinely entertains. CE B8/C11 — offshore-rated.

Technology
Hull design — Beneteau Powerboats
The Antares 12 hull was drawn by Beneteau Powerboats around the brief of a 40-foot family weekender that stays planted in a chop. Five details to know:
- 01Narrow bow angle — seaworthy for offshore work
- 02Flat transom — efficient at low engine RPM
- 03Recessed flat chines — stability through tight turns
- 04Spray-bow rails — dry deck even into a swell
- 05Optimised weight distribution — low centre of gravity

TheBoatfinder® Review
Our take, on the water.
Beneteau Antares 12 CoupéInstagram · @theboatfinderInstagram · @theboatfinder
A proper 40-foot coupé with real two-cabin space and outboard efficiency. The enclosed wheelhouse changes the cruising envelope — this is a year-round boat, not a fair-weather weekender.
