You can't find a better sail boat deal than a Hunter
Value

Experts agree that you won’t find a better boat for the money than a Hunter. Our high volume purchasing power, design experience, and advanced construction techniques allow us to build an exceptionally high quality boat for less money than you might expect. If you haven’t sailed a Hunter lately, it’s time to get on board!

All Hunter sail boats are made to be low maintenance.
Low Maintenance

We know that you want to be sailing, not working! Above deck, high maintenance natural wood has been replaced with low maintenance materials like Flexiteek, Fiberglass or Stainless Steel. Mechanical components are chosen based on their reliability and warranty coverage, then placed in the boat for easy access.  When the wind is up, you can relax and go sailing!

Hunter 5 year Hull structure and blister warranty covers the true cost of repairs
The Best Warranty in Sailing

Our 5 year Hull structure and blister warranty covers the true cost of repairs and is NOT pro-rated like some warranties. It’s also transferable upon resale helping to preserve the value of your investment. Hunter is the ONLY sailboat builder to offer a 5 year extended warranty that covers things like refrigeration, electronics, air conditioning systems and key engine components. You won’t find a more comprehensive new boat warranty in the business.

Hunter hardware is upgraded to some of the best suppliers in the world.
High Quality Exterior Hardware

All exterior hardware has been upgraded to include the biggest and best names in the business. you’ll find names you can trust such as Lewmar®, Spinlock®, Harken®, ProFurl®, and Selden® aboard the Hunter line.

Genuine Corian® countertops are utilized throughout the entire Hunter keelboat line.
Genuine Corian® Countertops

This durable, yet beautiful material will hold its serviceability and luster for years to come.

There is no question the Hunter arch is a real asset.
Stainless Steel Arches

When Hunter first introduced the arch over 10 years ago, the skeptics were all against it. Today, many of those are now offering arches of their own. There is no question – the arch is a real asset. By placing the traveler up top, it keeps the cockpit clear and safe. As an attachment point for a bimini, it makes a clean installation. The arch is also perfect for stereo speakers and cockpit lights.

At Hunter Marine only real hardened lead keels are attached with stainless steel keelbolts.
Antimonious Lead Keels

At Hunter Marine only real hardened lead keels are attached with stainless steel keelbolts. This is obviously more expensive than iron keels and mild steel bolts, but when it comes to performance, safety and maintenance, it’s the only way to go.

Hunter has added a Kevlar® laminate to give you added protection against collisions.
Hunter Kevlar® Technology

Hunter adds the extra strength where you need it most. From the stem to the keel sump, Hunter has added a Kevlar® laminate to give you added protection against collisions. This is the most likely area for damage or penetration and Hunter provides an extra level of security.

Hunter strength and integrity are achieved with a through-bolted hull to deck joint.
Through-Bolted Hull to Deck Joints

Superb strength and integrity are achieved with a through-bolted hull to deck joint. The outward turned flanges of the deck and hull are first shaped for an exact fit. Then, 3M® 5200 sealant is evenly spread onto the joint prior to the lowering of the deck. The joint is then clamped together and through-bolted around the entire deck. An extra shot of epoxy is also laid down at the chainplates. Now, that’s strength!

Hunter B&R rig has been time-proven to be one of the strongest and easiest to sail rigs ever designed.
B&R Rigs

Another Hunter innovation that has now been time-proven to be one of the strongest and easiest to sail rigs ever designed. Like a tripod, the rig is supported from three sides with equal tension all the way around. The need for a backstay has been eliminated. This allows for a larger main that provides more efficient power that’s easier to manage. With the big main, the jib can be smaller and easier to handle as well. Power without perspiration!

Hunter uses a high-density rubrail that wraps 360 degrees around the boat
Heavy Duty Rubrails

Hunter uses a high-density rubrail that wraps 360 degrees around the boat to protect the topsides from damage during docking. A stainless steel insert also enhances the rubrail's protection and beautifies the boat.

Hunter decks are built with MaxGuard® gelcoat.
MaxGuard® and Microban® Gelcoats

Hunter decks are built with MaxGuard® gelcoat. This eliminates any yellowing and reduces crazing and fading. Heads and showers are laminated with Microban®, a special antibacterial gelcoat to protect you and your family. They cost us a bit more, but it’s worth it!

Hunter builds the interior and exterior separatly for better accessability.
Modular Interior Construction

By building the interior outside the boat, Hunter can reduce labor costs and increase quality because of excellent accessibility. The interior is then permanently fused into the hull to make a true unibody structure.

The Hunter line features a varnished finish on beautifully detailed teak interiors.
Finely Finished Teak Furniture and Bulkheads

The Hunter line features a varnished finish on beautifully detailed teak interiors. You will see curved radiuses, matched grains and a superb level of fit and finish that is usually found only on custom boats.
