Meet the new Beneteau Antares 12 Fly—the flagship of the Antares line and a boat designed for owners who want to combine style, comfort, and true cruising versatility in one elegant package. At 42’7” overall with a 12’5” beam, the Antares 12 Fly delivers the presence of a serious cruiser while staying approachable, practical, and welcoming for family boating. Beneteau positions her as a major step forward in equipment, comfort, spaciousness, and elegance, and that is exactly what you feel the moment you step aboard.
What makes this boat stand out immediately is the way she expands life outdoors. The Antares 12 Fly offers three distinct exterior living areas: a protected aft cockpit, a forward sun pad, and a large flybridge built for entertaining. The flybridge features a large U-shaped salon, removable table, summer galley with grill and 42 L refrigerator, dual helm seating, and a co-pilot seat that converts into a sun pad. Whether you are hosting friends for a day on the water or enjoying a sunset anchorage with family, the layout gives everyone space to relax without compromise.
Inside, the Antares 12 Fly feels refined, bright, and thoughtfully arranged for real cruising. The panoramic wheelhouse creates a true central living space, while the modern galley and convertible salon make the boat equally suited for entertaining or extended weekends aboard. Below deck, she offers three cabins, including an owner’s cabin with ensuite, a VIP guest cabin with ensuite, and a flexible third cabin that can serve as a berth or extra storage. With the convertible wheelhouse salon, the boat can accommodate up to eight overnight, making her ideal for families who want comfort without giving up functionality.
Performance and ease of use are just as compelling as the accommodations. Beneteau highlights a configuration with twin Mercury 400 Verados and integrated joystick control, delivering confident handling and agility, while an optional Seakeeper gyro adds extra comfort underway. Features such as the three-leaf cockpit door, safe walkways, side swim platform, and SEANAPPS connectivity make ownership easier and more enjoyable from day one. In short, the Antares 12 Fly is the kind of boat that does it all: day boating, entertaining, weekend escapes, and family cruising—with the sophistication and presence expected from Beneteau’s new Antares flagship.
