The Beneteau Antares 11 Fly 2022 vs Beneteau Antares 11 OB 2021 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Beneteau Antares 11 Fly 2022 measures 36,4 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Beneteau Antares 11 OB 2021 at 32,6 feet (2021). At 13 550 lbs and 13 451 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 300 hp for the Beneteau Antares 11 Fly 2022 and 300 hp for the Beneteau Antares 11 OB 2021. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Antares 11 Fly 2022 carries 212 gallons versus 106 gallons in the Beneteau Antares 11 OB 2021. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Beneteau Antares 11 Fly 2022 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Beneteau Antares 11 OB 2021 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beneteau Antares 11 Fly 2022 could be the deciding factor.
