Beneteau Antares 8 2010 | Southampton, United Kingdom
Low Engine Hours | Bow Thruster | Extended Bathing Platform | UK VAT Paid
A beautifully kept Beneteau Antares 8, Champ II offers the perfect balance of style, practicality and comfort in a compact, capable cruiser.
Designed by Sarrazin Design and built by Beneteau in 2010, she is equally at home on a family coastal adventure, a weekend getaway, or a relaxed days fishing.
This example benefits from a Nanni T4 (200 hp) turbo-diesel engine with shaft drive, low engine hours, and an outstanding maintenance record. Manoeuvring is straightforward thanks to a Maxpower bow thruster, while her deep-V hull provides a stable, dry ride even in a lively chop.
The enclosed wheelhouse gives excellent visibility and shelter, with a bright interior, a convertible dinette that can form a double berth or twin forward-facing seats, and a separate forward cabin with a generous double berth. A self-contained heads compartment with shower and pressurised hot-and-cold water adds real cruising comfort.
On deck, she features an extended bathing platform, cockpit seating that converts to a sunpad, side decks, and safe stainless grab rails. Her specification includes diesel heating, electric windlass, shore power and battery charger, and modern electronics including a Raymarine Axiom 9 plotter with RV-100 transducer, Icom VHF, and Sony Bluetooth stereo.
Meticulously maintained, Champ II has enjoyed extensive recent servicing between 2023 and 2025 including full engine overhauls, electrical upgrades, antifoul, new anodes, and protective treatments.
Presented in excellent condition and UK VAT paid, she represents a turn-key opportunity for her next owner.
