44' Antares 2018

Seahorse is back on the market! A job opportunity too good to pass up has come along and these folks are pausing their cruising adventures for a couple of years. Survey items were all addressed,  and she is ready to leave the dock. She is currently located in Stuart but will be heading north to NC in about a month.

The first owners wanted Seahorse to be the greatest Antares built. Therefore, Seahorse has been outfitted for circumnavigating cruising and then some. She was the first GS model and has many extras like sun cushions for the foredeck. Many might remember she was our boat-show-boat in Annapolis 2019. Her orange accents make her standout as the worlds best live-aboard.

The Antares quality and performance is indisputable. The buyer of this vessel can take advantage of all the benefits available to a new Antares minus the wait to build! This boat has already been fine-tuned and is ready for its next adventure.
