2002 Hunter 306

Walk through

You step aboard from the open walk-through transom, which feels more like a modern swim platform than a traditional stern. Immediately, the cockpit feels oversized for a 30-footer—a signature of the Hunter 306’s wide 10’6”+ beam.

There’s a wheel helm centered aft, with a folding table and seating wrapping around you. The cockpit is designed for comfort and social sailing—deep seating, angled coamings, and even stern rail seats that give a great view underway.

Looking forward, you’ll notice the stainless arch and B&R rig (no backstay), which keeps the cockpit uncluttered and makes sail handling easier—especially for short-handed cruising.

Going below

As you step down the companionway, the first thing that stands out is light and openness. Multiple hatches and ports flood the interior with natural light, making the space feel larger than most boats under 30 feet.

Headroom is generous—over 6 feet—so you’re not hunched over like on many boats in this size range.

You enter directly into the large salon, and this is where the Hunter 306 really shines.

• A wraparound dinette sits to one side, with a table that can drop down to form an extra berth
• Opposite is a straight settee and small nav station
• Teak cabinetry and a teak-and-holly sole give it a warm, traditional look

Because of the wide beam, the salon feels unusually open and livable, easily seating 4–6 people comfortably. Many owners consider this one of the most spacious interiors in its class.

Galley

Just aft of the salon to port, you’ll find a proper L-shaped galley.

Features typically include:

• Two-burner stove
• Sink with pressurized water
• Icebox or refrigeration
• Solid countertops (often Corian-style)
• Plenty of storage for a boat this size

It’s compact but very usable—designed so you can cook safely underway while braced in place.

Moving aft you enter the largest cabin on the boat.

• A wide, athwartships double/queen berth
• Sitting headroom at the entrance
• Storage lockers and shelving

This cabin takes advantage of the boat’s beam, making it feel surprisingly roomy compared to typical 30-footers.

Forward of the salon you’ll find the enclosed head.

• Marine toilet
• Sink/vanity
• Separate shower area (a big plus in this size range)

It’s a full-featured setup, suitable for weekend cruising or even longer stays aboard.

At the bow, you step into the forward stateroom:

• Classic V-berth layout
• Overhead hatch for light and ventilation
• Storage lockers and shelves

It’s smaller than the aft cabin but still a comfortable private sleeping space.

Overall feel & flow

Walking through the boat, the impression is consistent:

• Exceptionally roomy for a 30-footer thanks to its wide beam
• Designed for comfortable coastal cruising, not racing
• Easy flow from cockpit → salon → cabins
• Capable of sleeping up to 6 people with convertible spaces
