Test drives

Have you ever dreamed of having your own craft to explore the wonders of the sea? If so, here’s your chance to get to know your future vessel!

In summer, the hearts of catwalkers are full of spontaneous sparks and explosions of ideas. Those white summer nights in Finland, romantic trips to the sandy bottom of Keibu Bay or family days full of tuba tricks on the Pärnu River…. These are the moments that will echo for years. But the worry for many sailors is that the dream boat to do it all is always a little bit lacking…

We have a range of exciting boats for you to explore and test on the spot, and you can also take a test drive. Through us you can test Beneteau Antares 7, the new Antares 9 (coming in autumn), the First 30 and Oceanis 34.1. These boats offer a great combination of style, comfort and performance, ensuring an enjoyable sea experience on every trip. In addition to Beneteau motor boats, you can also discover Zodiac and Bombard RIB boats.

Booking a test drive costs €50, which guarantees you priority queuing and personalised service.

ANTARES 7

Antares 7 stands out for its innovative design and versatility.

The Antares 7 is firmly focused on family holidays and boasts new convenient features to make trips on the water even more enjoyable. The boat is the ideal weekend getaway for sea lovers. With a wide range of upgraded equipment, the Antares 7 offers its passengers a safe, easy and comfortable life on board.

In Antares 7, the winds of change in the BENETEAU Antares series continue. The new model follows strongly in the footsteps of the Antares 8. Comfortable and stylish, the Antares 7 is now more versatile than ever thanks to new changes. Innovations and clever ideas such as a side boarding door, a spacious walkway to port, roomy beds and ample stowage make it the ideal recreational boat for family or friends, as well as for fishing trips.

As a direct continuation of the Antares 8, the Antares 7 fishing version has all the same extras to please the most demanding recreational fisherman. The stern rig has both rod and pot holders, a cutting board and storage for bait and tackle. A box for live feed is located on the left-hand side and additional storage space is located on the floor.

With a fully open deck plan, the Antares 7 Fishing allows you to easily move around and position the cockpit as required, thanks to folding benches. The cockpit’s side door also makes it much easier to bring large fish on board. The canopy can be equipped with five additional rod holders, as well as a projector and an additional 9″ plotter to bring the sonar image directly into the cockpit.

ANTARES 8

Even more innovative and versatile than its predecessors, the Antares 8 offers a number of new features that make it the ultimate fun ride, providing maximum comfort with the unique style and taste that is the hallmark of this renowned series. The catamaran copes well with any situation: whether it’s relaxing with family and friends, or just a few days’ holiday. The Antares 8 is the mid-range model in the BENETEAU range of recreational boats, characterised by long-standing expertise in building innovative, high-performance boats that are suitable for families.

The Antares 8 offers new features designed specifically for marine enthusiasts, especially those who love fishing. The family catamaran Antares 8 is now available in two variants: Cruising, which offers exceptional comfort and conviviality on board, and Fishing, which has everything a fishing enthusiast could need.

With its sporty and stylish design, the Antares 8 perfectly expresses the essence of the brand’s fun rides. It leaves a tasteful overall impression, complemented by a smooth streamlined profile that gives the boat a sporty charm. The two variants are distinctive: the Cruising has a streamlined, modern profile and the Fishing has a much sportier character.

The new Antares 8 offers exceptional living conditions. It has spacious and comfortable living quarters with ample space for up to nine passengers. An important new feature is the starboard gate, which makes it easier to dock the boat and allows fishing enthusiasts to bring their biggest catch on board. The wide platforms, level with the deck, allow safe boarding and can also be used as bathing platforms when swimming in the sea. In addition, the starboard gangways have been widened to facilitate access to the bow, where there is a spacious sunbathing area – an important feature for relaxing cruises.

ANTARES 9

The Antares 9 is designed for those looking for comfort at sea with family and friends. The new Antares 9 combines elegance and practicality, offering unsurpassed comfort both while underway and at anchor.

The lounge is bright and spacious thanks to large windows that create a pleasant atmosphere for every moment. The kitchenette has everything you need: an 80-litre fridge, two electric hobs and ample storage space.

A private toilet with shower is located on board, adding an extra touch of comfort to any sea voyage. The forward owner’s cabin offers luxury with a queen-size bed, lacquered furniture and mood lighting. The guest cabin accommodates two passengers, and the cabin area can be adapted for extra sleeping space if required.

The L-shaped sofa in the aft section easily converts into a U-shaped seating area, perfect for larger groups. It can also be quickly converted into a spacious sunbathing area when you just want to relax and soak up the sun.

OCEANIS 34.1

A sailing yacht that opens the door to unforgettable adventures. Marc Lombard and NAUTA Design have once again joined forces to create an exceptional design that faithfully follows the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis range.
