Boat Information
More innovative and versatile than ever, the new Antares 8 boasts a range of new leisure functionalities, so you can enjoy maximum comfort and sail in the style and elegance that is a feature of this iconic range.
A supremely versatile boat, perfect for chilling out with friends or setting off to cruise for a few days.
The Beneteau Antares 8 is a feature-packed 26-foot weekender
that punches well above its size. With a 250 HP outboard, a
top speed of 35 knots, and the iconic tulip-shaped Antares
hull delivering excellent stability in all conditions, the
Antares 8 is a capable and spirited cruiser. It accommodates
up to 9 passengers, with a double forward berth,
convertible salon berth, full galley with fridge and hob,
and an optional head. Available in Cruising and Fishing
versions.
Bay Port Yachting Centre in Midland is Ontario's exclusive
Beneteau dealer.
From Bay Port's docks in Midland, Georgian Bay's 30,000
Islands are right outside the harbour. The Antares series -
with its enclosed pilothouse, flared hull, and outboard
power - is perfectly suited to Georgian Bay's famous mix of
sheltered island passages and open water. Explore the Small
Craft Route north through Honey Harbour, Parry Sound, Pointe
au Baril, and Britt to Killarney. Head east via the
Trent-Severn Waterway and the Kawarthas unfold - scenic
lakes, historic locks, and charming towns stretching through
Peterborough to the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence.
Lake Ontario offers coastal cruising from the Bay of Quinte
and Prince Edward County west to Toronto and the Niagara
Peninsula. With its extended season capability and
comfortable accommodations, the Antares is the ideal
platform for exploring Ontario's waterways at your own pace.
