The Beneteau Antares 36 Flybridge is a unique and practical motor yacht that stands out from the crowd. Unlike the sleek, super-curvy designs of many mid-range flybridge boats, Powered with twin Volvo Penta diesel D4 engines (260HP each) and coupled with shaft drives the Antares 36 draws inspiration from France’s smaller, business-like pêche-promenade fishing boats.
