A focused expression of the Antares liveaboard philosophy for protected offshore cruising.
The Antares 44 earns its confidence in the spaces owners use every day: a protected helm tied into the cockpit, a raised salon with open sightlines, a working galley, private cabins, deep storage, and deck details shaped for passagemaking instead of dockside theater.
Use the photo galleries and 360 tour as a visual design review. Look at how the helm, deck, salon, galley, cabins, heads, lockers, davits, hardtop, and solar areas work together as one liveaboard boat.
The 360 tour adds spatial context after the photo galleries: salon, galley, cockpit, cabins, and the daily flow between them.
For buyers who want the familiar Antares 44 ownership path with traditional diesel propulsion, straightforward service expectations, and a proven platform beneath them.
For buyers who want the Antares 44 with a more modern energy conversation: quieter low-speed operation, larger electrical capacity, and more independence at anchor.
The Antares 44 is built around the conditions owners actually sail in: passage gear aboard, provisions loaded, changing wind angles, and long days where balance matters as much as speed.
For buyers who expect lighter-air sailing, want more drive before starting engines, or cruise in regions where marginal breeze matters. The right rig should be reviewed against crew, cruising grounds, reefing habits, and expected load.
Published light displacement is 19,500 lbs. Cruising performance is evaluated against a 23,700 lb loaded-displacement assumption, including liquids, ground tackle, dinghy, engine, and personal cruising gear.
Main, genoa, jib, and optional screecher give the 44 practical choices across changing wind angles. The value is useful sail choice without making ownership harder.
Published performance data, loaded-cruising assumptions, and the Tall Rig option give buyers a clearer way to review the 44 against their cruising grounds.

Published Antares 44 specifications from the current live specification page: dimensions, sail areas, displacement, tankage, engines, and the offshore fundamentals that define the 44.
The platform is the same. The difference is the propulsion and energy path: GT keeps the classic diesel-first setup, while Hybrid adds more electrical independence and a different systems review.
Treat hybrid as a configuration path to review with Antares. Final equipment, charging assumptions, battery capacity, solar layout, and service plan should be confirmed for the boat under discussion.
Choose GT if simplicity and familiar service expectations matter most. Choose Hybrid if quieter low-speed operation and greater power independence matter more.
Yes. Use the 360 tour on this page to review the salon, galley, cockpit, cabins, and daily movement through the boat.
Ask how your cruising region, typical wind range, sail handling preferences, and load assumptions affect the right sail plan. It should be an advisor-led fit decision, not a checkbox.
Share a few details and Antares will route the right brochure, pricing, and next step.
