SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for larger groups. At 10 berths across 6 cabins, Antares suits families or friends wanting to share costs on a roomy catamaran, you'll get proper private sleeping quarters rather than squeezing into a monohull. The 2019 build means solid modern systems without the premium pricing of a near-new boat.
Well-equipped for comfort. Air conditioning, water maker, and generator are genuine convenience features for extended cruising, while the electric winches make sailing easier for mixed-ability crews. The ice maker and coffee maker are nice touches that hint at thoughtful ownership.
Strong value proposition. At €5,500 per week split six ways, you're looking at under €920 per cabin, genuinely competitive for a catamaran of this size and spec in 2019. The low €500 deposit is refreshingly accessible too.
One word of caution: The operator has only one review posted, so there's limited track record to assess service quality, turnover condition, or how they handle issues. Before booking, ask directly about their maintenance schedule, recent guest feedback, and exact handover procedures, especially important when flying intercontinental to a charter base you're unfamiliar with.

The marina & destination
Based at Eden Island Marina, in Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles. Antares is operated by Equatorial Yachts.
Eden Island Marina in Victoria is the primary charter base in the Seychelles, positioned perfectly for exploring the inner islands of the Mahe group. Week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue, with consistent trade winds and short passages of 15-30 nautical miles that suit both experienced sailors and those acclimatising after long-haul travel. The protected anchorages around these islands offer good holding and predictable conditions, making this an ideal base for building confidence before considering longer passages to the outer islands.
