Brand: Antares 44




Built by PDQ in Canada until 2008, then new factory opened in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Still in production as of 2020. The construction of the Antares 44 is highly regarded throughout the industry as is her comfortably balanced performance. Not your run of the mill production charter catamaran. This is a catamaran designed and built for owners – not for large charter groups! This focus is reflected throughout the interior allowing extravagant accommodations for owners and guests as well as an ability to carry provisions, spares and equipment for very extended cruising. Galley down design.

PDQ also built a 42 foot sister ship, with the only difference being an extension of the stairs/swim platform and a change to the aft end of the salon.

Construction:The hull and deck are constructed of Isophathalic acid resin and tri-axial knitted fiberglass fabric. The skinning layer is 100% vinylester. Above the water line, the hulls and deck are cored with ¾" Corecell foam, except for hardware attachment points. All coring is vacuum bagged to ensure 100% adhesion. Below the water line, hulls are solid fiberglass. The two main bulkheads are composite and clad in Cherry veneer. The forward and aft beams are composites of balsa coring, tri-axial and unidirectional cloth. All bulkheads are taped to the hull and deck using x-weave knitted fabric that gives up to 50% more strength than standard cloth. There are 2 forward watertight compartments, one inside each bow locker. Standard fin keels have a sacrificial section allowing for substantial damage to keels without affecting hull integrity.
