Overview

Unleash your cruising dreams aboard “Dream Catcher,” a meticulously maintained 1998 Hunter 410 that blends generous volume with thoughtful engineering. A proven 50 HP Yanmar diesel engine delivers smooth, confident performance whether you are threading coastal channels or stretching out to the blue beyond, while the welcoming interior—with two cabins, two heads, and a well-appointed galley—encourages longer passages in genuine comfort.

Her interior has been tastefully refreshed for modern cruising life, with new upholstery in 2020, cockpit cushions from 2007, new foam in 2020, and a premium Captain's Suite mattress added in 2020 to elevate rest at anchor or underway. Safety is prioritized with new rigging and sails, LED lighting throughout for efficiency and visibility, an EPIRB from 2016, and an emergency ditch bag for added preparedness.

Above the cockpit, an integrated fiberglass arch serves as a robust, streamlined mounting point for the mainsail traveler and associated controls. By lifting the running gear out of the way, it reduces clutter, sharpens the yacht’s profile, and makes line handling more intuitive underway.

Equipped for extended cruising, “Dream Catcher” carries a Fischer/Panda 6K diesel generator from 2009, two solar panels from 2011 paired with a Blue Sky controller, a wind generator to harvest the breeze at anchor and at sea, and an integrated 12V water maker from 2011—together providing a capable, redundant house system for autonomy away from the dock.

Electronics and auxiliary systems are equally comprehensive. At the helm, a VHF radio keeps you in clear contact, while Raymarine ST 60 navigation instruments report wind, depth, and speed at a glance. A Raymarine MFD integrates GPS, charting, radar, and AIS for confident situational awareness. Entertainment and comfort are assured by a 32-inch flat-screen TV with a Trac antenna and an AM/FM/CD stereo driving a multi-speaker system. Dual-zone reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning maintain the perfect onboard climate, supported by a Trace inverter from 2011 and a variable-speed, keel-cool refrigeration system installed in 2011. AGM house batteries from 2019 underpin reliable power delivery.

Ground tackle is robust and ready. A Forrest anchor stands by, complemented by a 12-volt anchor windlass from 2018 that hauls a Rocna anchor on 200' of chain and 250' of rode with ease, while a washdown pump in the anchor locker from 2010 keeps the foredeck clean after every set. On deck, thoughtful additions include stern rail seating for sunset watches, a bimini, dodger, and connector enclosure to shelter the cockpit, and canvas hatch covers to protect brightwork. A folding wheel from 2013 eases movement through the cockpit, a rail-mount propane grill encourages alfresco dining, a rigid vang sharpens mainsail control, and a shore water connection simplifies life in the marina. A spare Fortress anchor stands ready as a prudent reserve.

Below the waterline and within the bilge, confidence comes from a robust pumping arrangement: an automatic electric bilge pump with float switch works tirelessly on the 12V system, while a manual pump within reach of the helm provides immediate backup and peace of mind.

The sail plan is set up for easy, efficient handling. A deck-stepped mast with a double-spreader B&R fractional rig uses an aluminum in-mast furling spar, and stainless steel standing rigging contributes enduring strength. The inventory includes a roller-furling genoa and an in-mast mainsail from 2016, all managed by four self-tailing Lewmar winches for smooth, responsive trimming in any breeze.

The galley is designed to keep the crew happily fed on passage, featuring a gimbaled LPG stove and oven, a microwave, 12V refrigeration, and a double stainless-steel sink with hot and cold water, all set within practical work surfaces and smart storage.

Accommodations are generous and inviting. The aft master stateroom centers on a queen-size berth and benefits from an ensuite head with shower for privacy and comfort. Forward of the salon, the guest stateroom offers a comfortable double berth, while the forward wet head in the bow provides a dedicated showering area with a faucet set high on the port side—ideal for quick rinses after a swim or a day on deck.

Your adventures ashore are supported by a 2021 AB RIB dinghy driven by a Honda 9.9 hp outboard motor. Measuring 10'6", inflatable with an aluminum hull, it launches and retrieves easily using heavy davits from 2013 that also carry the solar panels. A yard-arm for the outboard dinghy motor, a rail-mount motor bracket, and a motor gantry complete the thoughtful tender-handling suite.

“Dream Catcher” is fully prepared for your next passage, beautifully equipped, and waiting to carry you wherever your ambitions lead.
