These extras are in addition to an already well designed & equipped boat that can sleep 4 in her cabin & saloon, has a sink & Fridge & a toilet compartment with sea toilet. She also has a surprisingly large cockpit that can easily accommodate 4 stations when fishing or upto 6 adults when cruising. U shaped seating with comfy waterproof cushions is set around the removable table enabling dining al-fresco when at anchor or in port. On a sunny day, this seating can be converted into a large sun pad for soaking up the rays. This particular Antares 7.80 is fitted with a Suzuki DF 150 lean burn outboard engine that has had less than 220 hours use and was serviced in 2024 and has done very very few hours since.
