Introducing yacht for sale ANTARES (40M/131’), from the renowned Royal Huisman shipyard.

In 2016, the interior underwent a comprehensive refit, integrating contemporary upgrades. The redesign was meticulously tailored for family cruising around the globe, ensuring both elegance and functionality in every detail.

Adorned with teak joinery, the deckhouse boasts spacious seating areas, including large sofas and a convertible dining table for 12 guests. Adjacent, the yacht's internal navigation and communication center facilitate seamless operation.
