Long-term ownership
Antares owners tend to keep their boats longer than most catamaran owners because the boat is built around real bluewater living, not quick turnover.
Owner proof
Owners keep their Antares because the boat keeps working for the life they chose.
Owner feedback gives prospective buyers a clearer view of what matters after delivery: long ownership, real time aboard, and owner experience tied to safety, comfort, dependability, and liveaboard use.
Time aboard matters
The survey highlights owners actively cruising, living aboard, and using their boats internationally instead of leaving them idle.
Feedback becomes standard
Owner feedback has influenced Antares updates and standard features, making satisfaction an operating loop rather than a testimonial wall.
Survey graphics
Owner feedback should feel as considered as the boat.
The original survey charts are now presented as an editorial owner-feedback set: cleaner hierarchy, better framing, and a soft scroll build that gives each result its own moment.
Ownership tenureOwners stay
Long ownership is part of the proof.
The useful signal is not a one-season impression. It is how owners feel after years of living with the same boat.
Time aboardUsed hard
Satisfaction comes from boats that are actually lived on.
The survey is strongest where owners are cruising, sleeping aboard, maintaining systems, and using the boat internationally.
Owner ratingHigh confidence
The headline result matters because the usage is real.
Satisfaction is more credible when it follows passages, seasons, service cycles, and long-range liveaboard use.
Owner voices
The useful quotes are specific.
“The longer we had our boat, the more we appreciated the design, particularly in terms of safety and efficiency.”
Craig & Laurie, s/v Alberta Crewed
“The safest, most well-designed couples / liveaboard cruising catamaran on the market – period.”
Kevin & Monique, s/v Sabbatique
“After owning the Antares 44 for 6 years, I still have not found another cruising catamaran that I’d rather have.”
Eric & Cora, s/v Kailani
