Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beneteau Antares 9 2022 vs Beneteau Flyer 12 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Beneteau Antares 9 2022 vs Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 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 Antares 9 2022 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 carries 317 gallons versus 79 gallons in the Beneteau Antares 9 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 Flyer 12 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Beneteau Antares 9 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 Flyer 12 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 12 passengers and at 41,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beneteau Antares 9 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.
