2023 Beneteau Antares 9 OB, Huge Price Reduction, Now $299,000
Now located at Hope Harbour on the Gold Coast and priced to sell, this 2023 Beneteau Antares 9 OB presents as a premium, turn key family cruiser with low hours, twin Mercury 200HP V6 outboards, major factory options, and a brand new tender package included.
Purchased new from Chapman Marine in 2024 and lightly used, this Antares 9 has been kept in excellent condition and is ready for immediate use. It is being sold because our young family no longer has the time to use it, not because of any issue with the boat.
This is one of the most versatile 9 metre cruisers on the market, ideal for family weekends, coastal cruising, fishing, entertaining, and overnighters. It offers a bright enclosed saloon, full galley, private forward cabin, second cabin, enclosed bathroom, generous cockpit seating, walk around decks, and excellent visibility from the helm.
Powered by twin Mercury 200HP V6 outboards with low hours, the boat delivers strong, quiet and confident performance. The bow thruster and ZipWake automatic trim system make docking and handling simple, even for newer or solo skippers.
