Why buy a Factory Certified Antares?
Factory Certified
Antares Catamarans reviews each boat to ensure the same high standards are met similarly to a new boat built in our factory. If issues are found, we work with the owners to fix, before we certify the boat. Not every used Antares meets our high standards.
Pre-Purchase Boat Survey
We use the same accredited surveyor for our new boats that splash in Argentina - to fully survey every used boat. The owner fixes items that need fixing before we list the boat. The survey is provided upon request to qualified buyers.
Antares University
Antares University is a two-day course designed to teach new owners how to service, sail and enjoy their new purchase. More details on Antares University are found here.
Antares Owner Network
There is no better way to understand why Antares is the 'World's best liveaboard' than to meet and talk to owners. As you evaluate your options, we put you in contact with Antares owners to answer additional questions and give you different perspectives on living aboard Antares Catamarans.
Unparalleled Knowledge & Experience
We are the builder of Antares Catamarans and have a deep knowledge of every Antares on the water. Our team's experience includes sailing over 50,000 NM on Antares Catamarans. We don't just build the boats; we sail and live aboard Antares Catamarans.
Easier Closing Process
Nothing is more frustrating than to have your dream of sailing away on an Antares fall apart after you are financially and emotionally invested with a particular boat. Our Factory Certified boats provide peace of mind, knowing there will not be significant surprises when you make your offer - only to find expensive hidden issues after the boat survey.
