Introduction

Every once in awhile, an exceptional boat comes on the market that is heads and shoulder above the competition. 
Sweet Melissa is such a boat.
 Dozens of this popular aft cockpit Hunter 49 and 50 have been built, but none match the upgrades, enhancements and success of Sweet Melissa. 

The knowledgeable owner is an industrial design engineer, an experienced sailor and previous Hunter owner.  He lavishly prepared this Hunter 49 to be the ultimate in performance, comfort and convenience.  Numerous ingenious enhancements were made to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems to improve the livability, reliability, durability and performance.

The Hunter 49 was awarded "Boat of the Year" Honors from Cruising World Magazine for her luxurious accommodations, great looks and advanced design.

Twice in the past two years, Sweet Melissa was honored as the fastest boat in the highly competitive St Petersburg to Isla Mujares, Mexico race.

If you are seeking a comfortable, easy to handle, easy to maintain and dependable boat that will be exhilarating to sail, I invite you to seriously consider this Hunter 49.

Broker's Comments

After sailing Sweet Melissa nearly 500 miles from Florida to Mexico, I was both surprised and impressed. I was surprised how fast she sailed in light winds. Certainly any boat will move quickly with strong enough winds and Sweet Melissa did sustained long periods of 10+ knots with just the main, staysail and jib. However, when the wind was from 5 to 10 knots, she would do half the wind speed, which is amazing for such a large boat.

When the storm hit and the waves were over 20 feet, Sweet Melissa sliced through the waves cleanly and quickly without pounding. I was impressed that there wasn't any creaking inside the boat as she worked her way through rough sea and how comfortable I was down below when I was off watch.  Even in challenging conditions, Sweet Melissa is set up to be an easy boat to sail. Whereas a 49' boat racing to Mexico would carry a crew of 6 to 10.  We did the trip comfortably with only 4 people.

In 40 years, Hunter has come a long way from being an inexpensive boat entry level boat, to one of the better yacht builder in the world. Melissa is a great boat, owned by a great owner and is in great condition. She's is ready to go on her next great adventure.
