Three Antares models for Croatia

BENETEAU will display the Antares 8, Antares 9 and Antares 11 Fly at the Biograd Boat Show from 21 to 25 October 2026. The line-up focuses entirely on the Antares family rather than mixing several product ranges, giving visitors a clear comparison of three closely related cruising boats.

All three models are aimed at practical coastal use, with enclosed accommodation and layouts designed around family cruising, fishing and weekend trips. Their relatively compact sizes also make them relevant to owners who prefer straightforward handling and lower marina requirements.

The range shows a clear progression

The Antares 8 sits at the entry point of the trio, followed by the Antares 9 and larger Antares 11 Fly. Moving through the models adds accommodation and deck capability while keeping the same general emphasis on versatile cruising and weather protection.

For buyers, seeing the three together should help clarify whether extra length delivers useful benefits for their own boating pattern. The comparison is particularly helpful for owners deciding between day use, regular overnight stays and more extended coastal cruising.

Biograd serves the Adriatic market

The Biograd Boat Show has become an important regional event for Croatia and the wider Adriatic, where private boating and charter activity remain closely connected to island cruising. Boats that combine easy marina handling with protected accommodation are well suited to this operating environment.

BENETEAU's decision to focus on Antares models therefore fits the local market logically. The range offers practical alternatives for owners who want motor cruising capability without the scale and complexity of a larger luxury yacht.

A focused late-season appearance

The October timing gives buyers a chance to inspect current models after the main summer cruising season and before planning purchases for the following year. Dealers can also use the event to discuss delivery schedules, options and local service arrangements with owners who already know the Adriatic cruising environment.

For BENETEAU, the three-boat display is a concise way to present one of its strongest practical motorboat families to a regional audience. The Biograd show runs from 21 to 25 October 2026.
