NEW Hybrid Tour
NEW Antares Tall Rig Option
We are pleased to announce a NEW sail configuration for the Antares. We have collaborated closely with Selden, UK Sails, and our engineers to enhance our design and increase sail area for customers who want to maximize light wind performance.
The new Tall Rig option takes the already high-performing Antares to a whole new level. With our improved infusion process, we have managed to reduce the weight by over 1,000 pounds, while maintaining our focus on safety and seaworthiness for our discerning bluewater cruising customers. We are proud to have engineered a new level of performance for Antares.
New Interior Color Option!
We have a new lighter-colored wood interior, with a new layout option for the port aft cabin. This is another example of Antares listening to our customers and creating enhancements that make the Antares the ‘Wold’s Best Liveaboard.’
New Hybrid & GT Cockpit Design
We completely redesigned the cockpit, increasing space, increasing window sizes, adding streamlined seating that is easier to lounge, without compromising our excellent helm position or the ability to manage all lines in the cockpit easily.

“Of all the catamarans available on the market, there is no other catamaran available in this size range we would choose at this time. All boats have pros and cons, the Antares provides a great balance in design, comfort, livability, sail capability, and crew safety.”

“The design of the Antares is well thought out, from the ease of maintenance, to comfort at sea. The contemporary design, wood throughout, large galley, and panoramic salon views make it more than a boat we live on. It makes it our home.”

“We were essentially non-sailors when we purchased the boat. Our first season, we sailed 8,000 miles. Then proceeded to spend the next 7 seasons exploring the Caribbean. I cannot imagine we would have found a boat that would have better served our needs. A truly special chapter in our lives.”

“The Antares is a versatile boat that can be used for various purposes, including ocean crossing, anchorage, scuba diving, ICW exploration, marina residency, and Bahamas home. It is easy to maintain and dock, making it suitable for new cruising owners. The Antares community aims to help make dreams come true without drama.”
