Both the Beneteau Antares 10.80 2008 and the Beneteau Gran Turismo 34 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Beneteau Antares 10.80 2008 at 35,0 ft versus Beneteau Gran Turismo 34 2013 at 32,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Beneteau Antares 10.80 2008 tips the scales at 12 875 lbs - 1 701 lbs more than the Beneteau Gran Turismo 34 2013 at 11 174 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 34 2013 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Beneteau Antares 10.80 2008 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Antares 10.80 2008 carries 169 gallons versus 129 gallons in the Beneteau Gran Turismo 34 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 10 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Beneteau Antares 10.80 2008 at 35,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Beneteau Gran Turismo 34 2013 at 32,8 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
