Estonia’s coastline and archipelago offer ideal opportunities for spending time on the water—whether it’s a peaceful family holiday, a fishing trip, or a fast ride from one harbor to another. Over the years, the boat market has become significantly more diverse, and with it, expectations for comfort, design, and usability have also increased.
One of the key players in this field is Alter Baltics OÜ, which represents the French boat manufacturer Beneteau in Estonia. Their range covers a variety of usage scenarios – from practical weekend boats to luxury sports cruisers. Importantly, in addition to the boats, they also offer advice and support to help customers make an informed and long-term choice, with advice and support continuing after the purchase.
Choosing a boat starts with lifestyle
The modern motorboat is no longer just a means of transport – it is part of a lifestyle. That is why the models are clearly divided according to use and different dreams.
If you are aiming for longer, more leisurely trips, a trawler-type boat is the logical choice. If you want to spend weekends with the family, a more compact and versatile boat is more suitable. And if speed, style and fun are the priorities, sport cruisers come into their own.
Alter Baltics OÜ has a range of models representing all of these trends, including the Swift Trawler 37, Antares 9 and the new generation Gran Turismo 40.
Swift Trawler 37 – tranquil luxury at sea
The Swift Trawler 37 embodies the idea that you don’t always have to be in a hurry at sea. This boat is designed for smooth and economical cruising while offering the comfort normally associated with hunting.
A spacious cabin, practical layout and a choice of configurations make it suitable for longer journeys. It’s a boat you can take on multi-day cruises with confidence – without compromising on comfort.
Antares 9 – At sea with your family
The Antares 9 is a perfect example of how practicality and comfort can be combined in a compact boat. With two cabins, a galley and a shower room, the boat is perfect for weekend trips.
It’s a boat that lets you easily move from port to port, enjoy a sunny day on the water or spend the night at anchor. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, the Antares 9 is also the perfect first boat for a more serious sailor.
New Gran Turismo 40 – a sporty cruiser with a new twist
The new-generation Gran Turismo 40 marks a major step forward in the world of sports cruisers. While previous models focused on classic luxury, the new version is clearly designed for modern use – with the emphasis on openness, sociability and flexible use of space.
At the heart of the boat is a large and spacious cockpit, with L-shaped seating areas and a cleverly placed wet bar creating the ideal environment for socialising and relaxing. The whole area acts like a terrace over the water, which can be opened or closed as required.
Driving performance is also impressive. The new GT40 offers a range of engine solutions – from powerful outboard engines to inboard motors – and is designed to deliver both speed and smooth handling.
A minimalist and relaxed design philosophy is clearly evident in the interior. The open plan layout, clever lighting design and quality materials create an environment where you can comfortably spend a day or a long weekend.
Ultimately, the new Gran Turismo 40 isn’t just a fast boat – it’s a social space at sea where design, technology and lifestyle meet.
Choosing the right boat – more than just a carnal decision
While technical specifications are important, finding the right boat starts with the question: what will you use it for?
The Swift Trawler 37 is perfect for leisurely, longer trips, while the Antares 9 is ideal for a weekend away with the family, and if you’re looking for something that appeals to a variety of senses, the GT40 is the way to go.
The strength of Alter Baltics OÜ is that we help you think through this choice. The right boat isn’t just a purchase – it’s a lifestyle investment. This is helped by the fact that we are predominantly passionate sailors as well as boaters – so we know how to advise the customer accurately.
Summary
The Estonian motorboat market today offers more opportunities than ever before. Through Alter Baltics OÜ, models covering the whole spectrum – from practical to luxurious – are arriving. The Swift Trawler 37, the Antares 9 and the new Gran Turismo 40 are good examples of how different dreams can become clear and well thought-out solutions.
Ultimately, it’s not just about the boat – it’s about what kind of life on the water you want.
