2006 Hunter 38 (Hunter 380) - Two Owners, Exceptionally Maintained
This 2006 Hunter 38 is one of the finest examples currently available. Custom ordered with the desirable Flagship Blue hull, this yacht has benefited from continuous upgrading and fastidious care throughout its ownership history. With the current owners retiring from boating, she presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped cruising sailboat.
Powered by a 40 HP Yanmar freshwater-cooled diesel with approximately 1,300 hours, she delivers reliable performance under power while maintaining excellent sailing characteristics. The deep keel configuration enhances upwind ability and overall handling.
Both sails were removed for winter storage and professionally inspected by North Sails, providing added confidence in their condition and care.

The new Hunter 38 replaces the popular 386, the last of which rolled out of the Florida plant May 27, 2004 following a highly successful seven year run. Hunter's famed designer and racer Glenn Henderson returned to the drawing board with one focus in mind. "Our goal was to design a boat that was an exceptionally comfortable cruiser, yet offered outstanding performance and easy handling," said Henderson. "Our new 38 has met -- and exceeds -- expectations." The 38 is Hunter's largest mid-size cruiser in its fleet. While Hunter is quick to acknowledge that the market is competitive in this class, the company believes it is a powerful niche and is confident its new boat will make waves due to its many innovations. In addition, the appearance of the boat itself offers an optional departure featuring red stripes, a red Hunter logo and linen bimini top.
