Brand new for 2024, this Beneteau Antares Fisherman 7 brings French build quality to the Marlborough Sounds. At 7.48 metres with a 2.53m beam and shallow 0.80m draft, she's easy to handle in sheltered bays but still has the legs for open water, built on Beneteau's monohull platform, a brand with a strong reputation for quality and resale value. The cabin sleeps four, so she works equally well for a weekend away, a day's fishing or a run around the Sounds.
Fibreglass construction keeps upkeep straightforward, and the open cockpit gives anglers plenty of room to work rods, nets and gear. Buying new means no wait for a custom build, and no compromise on finish either: this one is built to Beneteau's usual standard. Based in Picton, she's right on the doorstep of some of the best fishing and cruising water in the country.
At NZD $205,000, it's a chance to pick up a current-model Antares Fisherman 7 without the usual order lead time. For anyone after a boat for fishing, family trips or just getting out on the water, this one is ready to go. Buyers who are serious should get down to Picton and have a look.
