Fox's Yacht Sales are delighted to present this well specified 2019 Beneteau Antares 8, Quando, a versatile and highly capable sports cruiser powered by a Suzuki DF200APX 200hp outboard, delivering great performance of up to 30 knots. Delivered new in 2019 and sold by Fox's Yacht Sales to her current owner in 2023.
Quando is equally at home enjoying family days afloat, weekend cruising or longer coastal adventures. She boasts an impressive specification including both bow and stern thrusters, upgraded Garmin navigation electronics, electric anchor windlass, shore power with hot water, full cockpit enclosure and an upgraded cockpit seating arrangement converting into a generous sun pad. During her recent delivery passage from Aldeburgh to Fox's Marina in challenging sea conditions, she proved herself to be an incredibly confidence-inspiring boat, handling rough seas with ease.
