The Beneteau Antares 6.05 is a very capable pocket cruiser. The inboard diesel engine makes her fuel efficient and reliable and her double cabin and galley means you can weekend away in comfort. These slightly older boats in the Antares range have a solid feel about them and the deeper hull shape gives more stability and a better ride in less favorable conditions. She is also stabilised with fins and has a well protected propeller so she can be beached (conditions, ground and tide permitting).

What Beneteau say.

• Like all the Antares, the Antares 6.05 benefits from advantages brought by the hull tunnel designed by André Bénéteau. The stability during anchorage and at low speeds is excellent.  Its ability to stay on course is remarkable, even at a low speed.
