Antares 30S Powerboat by Bénéteau Philippines
If you’re looking for a powerboat that offers a safe and comfortable motor cruising experience while also sporting a classic and timeless look that is guaranteed to draw admiring stares from your fellow yachting enthusiasts, then the Antares 30S Powerboat should be for you. Featuring everything that’s made the Antares 30 a world-renowned hit in the boating industry, this sportier and non-flybridge version of the Bénéteau classic has all the trappings of a cozy home on the open seas, while at the same time having all the reliability and versatility of a robust and handsome powerboat.
No matter your experience level in boating, you’ll find it very easy to fall in love with the Antares 30S. Besides the fact that she retains the striking silhouette that Sarrazin Design has bestowed upon the Antares 30, the addition of the conventional hard top gives the Antares 30S a unique and sleeker profile on the water. Moreover, the new twin glazed hatches allow for more natural light to stream into the wheelhouse, all while ensuring that you and your passengers remain adequately protected against the elements.
The Antares 30S also carries on the legacy of the Antares line of being a robust performer on the water. The specially designed flared shape of her hull, a signature of the Antares range, makes for superior stability on water no matter the season you decide to sail out on. This also makes the boat easy to handle and remarkably safe, allowing you to focus instead on the joy and bliss that can only come from piloting an Antares powerboat.
The Antares 30S Exterior
The Antares 30S is the sedan version of the Antares 30. As such, she does not have the trademark Bénéteau Flybridge that has made the latter such a highly sought-after watercraft among boating aficionados. Instead, the Antares 30S sports an aerodynamic conventional hard top, giving her a more compact and intimidating profile on the water, while also providing a great degree of protection against sunlight and inclement weather.
Boat owners looking to spend a lot of their time basking in the sun will also be pleased to know that the Antares 30S has room for an optional sun-lounger fore of the boat. Here, you and your guests can get your healthy, fresh-from-vacation tans, or even use that space to have a sunlit picnic out in the sea.
Finally, the latest edition of the Antares 30S now comes in an elegant grey hull colorway for that added touch of subtle style that calls to mind the prestige of the Bénéteau name.
The Antares 30S Interior
The interior of the Antares 30S is no different to her exterior in terms of functionality and sophistication. Just like with the flybridge version of the boat, Sarrazin Design has once more used every single inch of space within this powerboat to make each of your seafaring adventures a cozy, comfortable, and memorable one.
In addition to being notably roomy, the wheelhouse is pleasantly bright, and this is mostly thanks to its panoramic windows and the two sliding roof hatches equipped with glazed glass. However, if you’d rather keep the sunlight out—especially during humid and sweltering days—then simply engage the integrated blinds and you’ll be set.
The galley is also outstandingly equipped despite its compact size, allowing you to prepare your favorite meals on board. Tucked away neatly on the starboard side of the main deck, it’s fitted with all the kitchen essentials: a laminated worktop, a gas hob and oven, a cutlery drawer, and a stainless steel sink. There’s even an included 65-liter refrigerator to chill your beverages and to keep all your food in. If you’re the on-the-go type who wants their meals easy and quick, however, there is also a convenient space where you can install a microwave.
Facing the galley is the saloon, which allows for comfortable and intimate seating around a solid wood table. Walnut wood and sand-colored textile are in abundance here, affording the boat’s interior a cozy and stylish atmosphere while still reminding you of her nautical heritage. However, Bénéteau does offer other options if you prefer another color for your Antares 30S’s upholstery.
Finally, we come to the night spaces—an aspect in which the Antares 30S continues to shine. The owner’s cabin is a veritable cavern of relaxation and restful sleep, with enough room for a large central bed measuring 1.98 meters by 1.4 meters. There’s also ample storage space here, as well as a hanging locker for your wardrobe essentials.
For the other passengers, the guest cabin on the lower deck is also remarkably roomy, comfortable, and functional, with twin bunk berths and a generous amount of storage compartments. It’s to note here that the upper bunk can be folded away for even more room for daytime activities, or if just one bunk is enough. It’s also on the lower deck where you’ll encounter the bathroom, which houses a marine toilet with its own 88-litre rigid tank, as well as a washbasin and a shower area. There’s also an opening hull porthole to aid ventilation.

Bénéteau continues its cherished tradition of manufacturing some of the finest watercrafts in the boating industry, with the Bénéteau Antares 30S rightfully deserving a place in that exalted collection.
While it’s true that she lacks the exhilarating flybridge that’s made the Antares 30So appealing as a powerboat, she more than makes up for it with her own unique and aggressive profile, her peerless build quality, and an interior so comfortable that you’ll be loath to leave when the time comes to set foot back on port. All this makes the Antares 30S more than a worthy investment, no matter if you’re a seasoned veteran or an aspiring novice in the hobby.
