Each guest cabin, fitted with new carpets, upholstery, and hardware in 2016, features ensuite facilities. The master stateroom is particularly impressive, accessed through a private entrance and featuring a vanity table, ensuite with twin sinks and marble surfaces, making it a true sanctuary aboard.
Equipped for adventure, ANTARES is the perfect cruising yacht, thanks to its versatile ketch rig and spacious interior.
