Their range covers a variety of usage scenarios &#8211; 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.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Choosing a boat starts with lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The modern motorboat is no longer just a means of transport &#8211; it is part of a lifestyle. That is why the models are clearly divided according to use and different dreams. <\/p>\n\n<p>If you are aiming for longer, more leisurely trips, a <em>trawler-type<\/em> 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.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Alter Baltics O\u00dc has a range of models representing all of these trends, including the Swift Trawler 37, Antares 9 and the new generation Gran Turismo 40.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Swift Trawler 37 &#8211; tranquil luxury at sea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The Swift Trawler 37 embodies the idea that you don&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n<p>A spacious cabin, practical layout and a choice of configurations make it suitable for longer journeys. It&#8217;s a boat you can take on multi-day cruises with confidence &#8211; without compromising on comfort. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"lightgallery\" href=\"https:\/\/geenius.ee\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/2b24b6ef41bb127efc68db598ffb6413-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geenius.ee\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/2b24b6ef41bb127efc68db598ffb6413-856x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-206346\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><small>Photos: Beneteau<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>Antares 9 &#8211; At sea with your family<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;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.

While previous models focused on classic luxury, the new version is clearly designed for modern use &#8211; with the emphasis on openness, sociability and flexible use of space. <\/p>\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n<p>Driving performance is also impressive.
