Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 vs Beneteau Flyer 9 Sundeck 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 vs Beneteau Flyer 9 Sundeck 2022 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.
The Beneteau Flyer 9 Sundeck 2022 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 carries 396 gallons versus 152 gallons in the Beneteau Flyer 9 Sundeck 2022. 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 13.80 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Beneteau Flyer 9 Sundeck 2022 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 45,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beneteau Flyer 9 Sundeck 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
