Hunter Yachts

We go the distance

In the beginning  was the passion of a marine dynasty in the United States, and today is one of the three world’s largest builders of sailing yachts, and the export leader of yachts in the US. Their aim still  is to share their passion of sea. One way is to integrate unique innovations tested and proven through racing long-distance single-handed offshore sailboats.

Most important, the Hunter difference is for your benefit :

  • Ease of sailing : Every Hunter is designed to be easily handled by one or two people. No matter what the conditions, sailing must be easy, fun, comfortable and secure.
  • Value : experts agree that you won’t find better boat for the money than a Hunter. Our high volume purchasing power, design experience and advance construction techniques allows us to  build an exceptionally high quality boat.
  • Low maintenance High maintenance natural wood has been replaced with low maintenance materials, chosen for their reliability and so beautiful. We suppose you prefer to sail than to work !

Features and innovations

Construction features :

We use the finest materials, chosen for their resistance, beauty and durability: Kevlar reinforcement in the bow sections, antimonious Lead keels, more expensive but improved performance in safety and maintenance. Superb strength and integrity are achieved with a bonded and through-bolted hull to deck joint, capped with a durable PVC rubrail.

On the deck:

  • the B&R –Bergstrom & Ridder- rig design for a more powerful mainsail : this backstay less rig allows the use of a highly efficient, large-roach mainsail, and of a smaller genoa. This proves to be easier for the cruising sailor to manage this sailplan than a conventional one, especially in heavier wind conditions.
  • Stainless steel cockpit arch: Locating the mainsheet traveler atop the arch keeps the loading at the aft end of the boom, rather than suffer the boom bending loads. The arch also provides safety as a secure cockpit handhold, offers protection from the boom and provides excellent support for cockpit canvas and mounting location for cockpit speakers and lightings.
  • Walk through transoms: Provides an easy way to board from the sea or pier. When raised, the hinging helmsman seat closes the walk-through while sailing. Integral seats, storage, telescoping swim ladder, and cockpit showers are included on most models.
  • Cockpit design for comfort and safety : all lines are led aft, providing easy and safe control over the B&R rig. Comfortable seating and good visibility for skipper and crew are within a secure environment provided by the robust pushpit integrated with the cockpit arch - part of the many safety and comfort features of our yachts.

nterior comforts  Hunter salons are open, airy and comfortable. Standard equipment on most models includes Liquid Propane Gas stove with oven, microwave oven, a front opening refrigeration system, and optional freezer capacity or a wine cooler. Accommodations are wide and very comfortable, and on larger models a choice between two or three cabins layout.
