Beneteau Antares 9 OB

Beneteau Antares 9 OB – the boat that makes your neighbours think you won the lottery (spoiler: it was just excellent taste)

Some boats are good. Some are very good. And then there is this 2025 Beneteau Antares 9 OB, which politely makes most others look like they forgot to try.

Registered in 2025 and showing only 21.5 engine hours, this Antares 9 OB is practically new, but already equipped with everything people usually realise they “should have added” after the first season on the water.

Let’s start with the fun part: twin Yamaha LF200XSA2 White 200 HP outboards, 4-stroke, with DBW electronic controls and joystick. Translation: smooth, precise and stress-free manoeuvring, even when wind and cross-current try to test your confidence. Add a bow thruster and automatic Zipwake trim tabs, and docking becomes more elegance than effort.

Power management is serious business here. Two 200Ah lithium batteries with a Victron system and full 220V electrical circuit mean you can run your onboard systems comfortably and still have energy left to impress guests who think boats only run on fuel and optimism.

Comfort on board plays in a different league. You get 220V air conditioning for hot days, an electric freshwater toilet, hot water, an electric galley, microwave, and a saloon that converts into a proper bed. Day cruising, overnight stays, relaxed weekends — all covered without compromise.

On the navigation and electronics side, this Beneteau Antares 9 OB is exceptionally well equipped: Lowrance HDS 12’’ Pro, Halo 20 radar, Airmar B265LH CHIRP transducer, GPS Point, full NMEA 2000 network, VHF with GPS and a stainless-steel IP camera. Seeing, navigating and anticipating become almost unfairly easy.

Externally, the visual impact continues. Pearl grey hull in the Elegance version, convertible cockpit with sunpad, bow sunpad, wooden cockpit and bathing platforms, LED lighting, cockpit carpet and full covers including camper enclosure and seat covers. It looks impressive at anchor and even better underway.

Safety has not been overlooked. The boat includes an ISO life raft for 10 people, GPS EPIRB and Class 4 safety equipment. For full transparency: VHF registration and licence are not included — but that is exactly the kind of paperwork Porti Nauta handles daily, without drama.

Asking price: 297,500 €.

And now the important part: buying this Beneteau Antares 9 OB from Porti Nauta | Angel Pilot is not just about the boat. It is about peace of mind.
