Broker's Comments

The Hunter Horizon 26 is well known for being a comfortable, solid pocket cruiser. Benefiting from the twin keels, providing both sailing performance and the ability for shoaling sailing and drying out, the boat also has a spacious, double aft cabin. The boat is complemented with a separate heads, roomy galley, saloon, navigation station and folio sized chart table.

This version looks to have been maintained during the ownership. The engine is more recent and overall this boat presents as a tidy and spacious boat for its size.

For anybody looking for a sailing package, capable of coastal cruising, creek crawling and trips to Europe when weather permits, this boat would be an ideal match for single handing and families alike.

If you would like to know any more detail, or request a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be delighted to help.
