2015 Marlow-Hunter 40 - MARLOW HUNTER FOR SALE

PEGASUS is poised for her next chapter, freshly serviced and gleaming from stem to stern. Just out of the yard with new bottom paint, brand-new windows, and recently refreshed teak, she presents beautifully, and her dual helms pair with a broad drop-down swim platform for effortless days on the water. Now available for private viewings, she is a must-see for anyone seeking an elegant, modern sailing yacht.

This 2015 Marlow-Hunter 40 is a sleek, 40-foot monohull sloop designed as a performance cruiser and family-friendly coastal and offshore cruiser. She blends the thrill of true sailing with refined comfort, delivering the confidence of a bluewater-capable cruiser and the ease of a contemporary liveaboard. Clean lines, advanced systems, and premium build details create a sailing experience that is both exhilarating and reassuring, whether you’re making miles offshore or slipping away for a weekend escape.

Accommodations are generous for up to six guests, framed by a bright, contemporary interior with quality finishes and abundant natural light. Forward, a private cabin offers a queen berth, hanging lockers, and plentiful storage, while the roomy aft cabin features a large double berth and additional stowage. Each cabin enjoys its own ensuite head with separate shower, electric toilet, and vanity, lending a yacht-like sense of privacy and luxury. The main salon invites relaxed living with a U-shaped dinette that converts to a double berth and a comfortable port-side settee, creating a warm, social space for dining and unwinding. Climate control is assured by twin Dometic reverse-cycle air-conditioning units, providing year-round comfort.

The galley is thoughtfully arranged for passagemaking and entertaining alike, outfitted with a NovaCool refrigerator/freezer, a Frigidaire microwave, a Force10 two-burner propane stove with oven, a double-basin sink, and ample counter space for preparing meals underway. It’s a practical, well-lit workspace that feels as efficient at sea as it does at anchor.

At the heart of her navigation suite is a Raymarine HybridTouch chartplotter complemented by autopilot, wind, depth, speed, radar, and a multifunction display, ensuring intuitive control and situational awareness from the cockpit. Communications are robust with an Icom CommandMic handheld VHF and an Icom IC-M506 VHF at the nav station, where you’ll also find a second Raymarine plotter and a fuel/water/holding tank monitor. Entertainment is equally considered with a Sony DSX-M55BT stereo supporting Bluetooth and SiriusXM, cockpit-arch Sony Marine speakers, and an Audiovox Blu-ray/DVD player. Twin Ritchie compasses round out the reliable helm instrumentation for this refined racer-cruiser.

Power and systems are equally capable, featuring a Yanmar 40 hp diesel with approximately 1,738 hours, supported by an Onan generator with roughly 367 hours and a Magnum Energy charger/inverter to keep ship’s systems humming. A 5-gallon hot water tank, batteries, and two Jabsco Vacuflush heads serve daily comfort, while two separate showers and shore power with splitter add convenience at the dock. A bow thruster is fitted for tight-quarters maneuvering and currently requires repair, offering a simple opportunity to tailor the yacht to your exacting standards.

Sail handling is made simple with an in-mast furling mainsail and a Selden Furlex 200S for the headsail, including a 110% genoa. Primary and secondary sail control is smooth and secure via pairs of Lewmar two-speed, self-tailing winches in sizes 45 and 40, augmented by a Lewmar electric winch for effortless trimming. It’s a setup that balances performance and ease, ideal for short-handed sailing or lively afternoons chasing the breeze.

On deck, the cockpit is protected by a bimini and dodger and enhanced by an arch with integrated speakers and dinghy davits. Twin “dolphin” seats, dual helms, dorades for ventilation, and a dependable Delta anchor with chain-and-rode combination underscore her cruising pedigree. Safety and readiness are evident in the horseshoe liferaft and life jackets, while her shoal-friendly 5'2" draft invites gunkholing and exploring. Altogether, this aft-cockpit sailing yacht stands out as a polished, turn-key cruiser that’s equally at home coastal cruising or stretching her legs offshore.

From her just-completed yard work to her comprehensive electronics, refined interior, and thoughtfully engineered systems, PEGASUS is a standout in the 40-foot cruising sailboat class—a graceful, capable, and thoroughly inviting yacht ready to embark on new horizons.
