1980 Hunter 37 Cherubini Cutter

The 1980 Hunter 37 Cherubini Cutter, designed by John Cherubini, is a well-regarded cruising sailboat known for its classic lines, solid fiberglass construction, and capable cutter rig. Boats from this era of Hunter production have a loyal following for a reason-they sail well, have practical layouts, and were built with a heavier hand than many later models. When brought back to life, they can make excellent coastal cruisers or liveaboard platforms.

That said, this particular vessel is being offered honestly and as-is, and it is a true project boat. She is not currently seaworthy and will require a significant refit to return to service. The cockpit and deck show heavy wear, and the interior reflects long-term neglect with signs of water intrusion, staining, and aged or incomplete systems.

Electrical, plumbing, and onboard equipment should all be assumed to need inspection and possibly replacement. The 1980 Yanmar 33HP diesel engine is present, but its condition is unknown and should be evaluated accordingly.

This is NOT a boat for someone looking to get on the water right away-but for the right buyer, it represents an opportunity. The underlying design and hull still carry the reputation that has kept these Cherubini Hunters relevant for decades. For someone with the skills, vision, and willingness to invest the time and effort, this could be the foundation for a rewarding restoration and a classic cruising sailboat brought back to life.
