Antares 46

A larger Antares platform pairing liveaboard comfort with a more explicit hybrid systems story.

Bluewater liveaboard design

Built for bluewater cruising without making the boat harder to own.

The Antares 46 extends the Antares bluewater idea with more volume, a refined owner experience, and a technical path that explains energy, redundancy, and service access in buyer language.

Step inside the Antares 46

Walk through the salon, galley, cabins, and liveaboard flow.

The 360 tour adds spatial context after the photo galleries: salon, galley, cabin, and circulation space in context.

Layouts

Two galley choices. Same Antares thinking.

The Antares 46 supports two galley conversations: galley up for owners who want cooking connected to the salon and cockpit, or galley down for a quieter working galley and more open main-deck living.

Galley Up

For owners who want the cook connected to the salon and cockpit. Coffee, snacks, watch changes, and conversation all stay on one level, with the galley working as part of the social space.

  • Connected salon and cockpit flow
  • Easy handoff during watches
  • Natural place for daily coffee and quick meals

Galley Down

For owners who prefer a quieter working galley. Moving the galley below opens the main deck, separates meal prep from the lounge, and gives long-range provisioning its own space.

  • More open main-deck living
  • Separated prep and cooking zone
  • Better fit for extended provisioning routines

Owner Layout Review

The right answer depends on how you cruise. Antares walks through storage, service access, sightlines, and day-to-day routines before locking in the plan that fits your crew.

  • Storage and service access considered together
  • Advisor-led review before final choices
  • Layout decisions tied to real cruising habits

Buyer questions

Clear answers before you choose your 46.

Quick answers on the 46 layout, systems path, and ownership fit before you compare specifications.

What makes the Antares 46 different from the Antares 44?

The 46 adds more interior volume, a longer waterline, more beam, larger tankage, and updated layout choices while keeping the Antares bluewater foundation: shaft drives, skegged rudders, protected helm, and practical service access.

Is the Antares 46 designed for bluewater cruising?

Yes. The Antares 46 is built around offshore priorities: protected watchkeeping, shaft-drive propulsion, skegged rudders, practical service access, generous tankage, and a layout intended for extended life aboard.

Can the Antares 46 be configured with galley up or galley down?

Yes. Galley up keeps cooking connected to the salon and cockpit. Galley down creates a quieter working galley and opens more main-deck living space.

Does the Antares 46 have a hybrid option?

Yes. The Antares 46 can be reviewed with two hybrid paths, alongside diesel, based on motoring range, charging needs, serviceability, and how the owner plans to cruise.

How many cabins does the Antares 46 have?

The standard Antares 46 specification lists three cabins, giving owners and guests private sleeping spaces with the storage and comfort expected for long stays aboard.

What should buyers confirm before choosing an Antares 46 configuration?

Confirm galley layout, hybrid or diesel path, solar and charging assumptions, storage needs, cruising region, and how the boat will be used day to day. Those choices matter more than a generic spec-sheet comparison.
