Exterior design

Loyal to the range design, the Antares 8.80, by SARRAZIN DESIGN, is an enduring style.   For this edition the hull decoration has a dramatic red line adding character to the boat. The Antares 8.80 has two glazed hatches on the wheelhouse that slide open. A large optional sun-lounger is available for the foredeck. 

Interior design

The Antares’ U-shaped saloon has a panoramic view and is opposite the galley space. The forward owner’s cabin has a spacious double berth, a small hanging locker and shelving. The aft cabin also accommodates two people, as well as storage. The bathroom has a shower and a toilet. The walnut wood chosen for this boat is noble yet contemporary. It matches the beige upholstery and navy-coloured curtains perfectly.

Comfortable cruising

The Antares 8.80 has everything to impress. She suggests cruising, relaxation and exploration.
