2004 Hunter 44 - HUNTER FOR SALE

Turn-key and impeccably cared for, this beautiful sailing yacht is poised to cast off—an absolute must-see for anyone seeking a luxury performance cruiser. The Hunter 44 presents a sleek, contemporary profile with crisp lines, a bright white hull, and a generous deck plan that invites elegant relaxation and effortless entertaining, perfectly suited to a premium monohull cruising sailboat.

Measuring 44 feet, this aft cockpit cruiser balances size and comfort with finesse, offering inviting spaces for both quick day sails and extended bluewater adventures. Inside, the full-beam saloon feels open and welcoming, the well-equipped galley is thoughtfully arranged for serious cooking at sea, and two private cabins deliver a refined liveaboard experience. The forward stateroom’s V-berth style double is cleverly designed for room and storage, while the expansive aft master benefits from the beam carried well aft. With finely finished teak joinery, quality cabinetry, and standard inner-spring mattresses, the ambiance is quietly luxurious.

Under sail, the boat’s modern B&R rig and smart deck layout make handling intuitive for seasoned skippers and newcomers alike, delivering confident offshore capability with a relaxed, responsive feel. Drawn by noted designer Glenn Henderson, the 44 Aft Cockpit shares its fast underbody with the 44 Deck Saloon but wears a lower, sleeker silhouette. Innovative features such as a Bow Hollow to accelerate water flow forward for added hull speed, and a Stern Reflex to flatten the exit wake and reduce turbulence, contribute to impressive performance gains without sacrificing comfort, stability, or ease of use—hallmarks of a true performance cruiser.

Amenities elevate life aboard: panoramic views from the saloon seating, a spacious dining area for hosting in style, and a fully outfitted galley with the appliances you want for cruising in comfort. This refined cruising sailboat blends the poise of a luxury yacht with the practicality demanded by offshore passagemakers and discerning coastal cruisers alike.

Thoughtful upgrades further set this vessel apart. Power management is modern and robust, with four 12V 200Ah Renogy smart LiFePO4 batteries with Bluetooth connectivity, a Renogy 12V 3000W pure sine inverter/charger, and a 905W solar array comprising three Renogy flexible panels and one LG rigid panel. Oversight and charging are handled by a Renogy battery monitor, dual Victron solar controllers, and a Victron 30A 12V DC-to-DC charger for reliable energy underway. Ground tackle has been sensibly enhanced as well, featuring a 65 lb Mantus M2 anchor for confident holding. Sophisticated, capable, and undeniably elegant, this Hunter 44 is the consummate offshore-ready sailing yacht.
