Antares Catamarans was founded in 2010 by Guillermo “Memo” Castro, who is the founder and president of 40 Grados Sur, a shipyard that is the building facility of Antares Catamarans in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There are many considerations when designing and building a best-in-class Bluewater cruising catamaran. Thousands of hours are spent reviewing every small detail, to ensure that the resulting design will withstand the scrutiny of the educated sailor while keeping the crew safe and secure. It takes over 9 months to handcraft each Antares catamaran. Sound design principles are timeless. While taking advantage of innovations, the Antares design team established certain target characteristics to maintain the Antares as the world’s best liveaboard. Antares boats are exclusively designed for liveaboard, and never for charter.
