THE BOAT
Some boats stand out because of one specification; others make sense because the whole package works well together. This 2020 Beneteau Antares 9 OB belongs to the second group: manageable dimensions, a protected wheelhouse, two cabins, a full bathroom, galley, useful exterior areas and twin outboards that make the boat suitable for day trips as well as weekends away.
This particular boat has had one owner from new and, according to the information supplied, has been maintained through official Beneteau and Suzuki service. It is powered by two Suzuki DF200 four-stroke outboards with approximately 475 hours and also features a bow thruster, automatic Zipwake trim system, Garmin electronics, factory hardtop and teak bathing platforms.
About this Beneteau Antares 9 OB
This generation of Antares 9 was developed by Beneteau as an outboard weekender combining weather protection, safe deck movement and genuine accommodation below. Overall length is 9.12 m, hull length 7.98 m and beam 2.99 m, with a layout providing two cabins, a convertible saloon and a bathroom with shower.
On this boat, twin Suzuki DF200 engines, bow thruster and automatic Zipwake trim make both cruising and close-quarters handling straightforward. The listing states approximately 22 knots cruising speed and up to 38 knots maximum speed; actual figures naturally depend on load, hull condition, sea state and operating conditions.
The advertised location is Sitges, Barcelona, Spain. Fontnautic's current asking price is €129,000.

Why this unit stands out
The strongest point of this Antares 9 OB is not one isolated option but the combination of provenance, engines and equipment. One owner, twin Suzuki DF200 outboards with moderate use, official maintenance, bow thruster, Zipwake and Garmin electronics create a coherent package for somebody looking for a nine-metre boat that can be used for much of the year.
Two proper cabins and a full bathroom extend the boat's usefulness well beyond a simple day boat, while the teak platforms, foredeck sunpad, cockpit and panoramic wheelhouse retain the open, practical character that makes the Antares range attractive.
Fontnautic opinion
For Fontnautic, the Antares 9 makes particular sense for an owner who wants a manageable boat without giving up the possibility of comfortable overnight stays. It does not try to offer the volume of a much larger cruiser, but it uses its dimensions intelligently and keeps the onboard systems comparatively straightforward.
On this boat we particularly value the twin Suzuki DF200 installation, single-owner history and equipment that is genuinely useful in everyday operation: bow thruster, Zipwake, Garmin, hardtop, galley, bathroom and two cabins. It is a balanced configuration for family cruising, weekends away, anchoring and coastal fishing or cruising.
