PEREGRINE is a stellar example of what a "Turn Key" boat truly is. She's a beautiful 3-Stateroom Hunter 49 Aft Cockpit cruiser that can leave the dock immediately for destinations near and far. While the current owners have spent a significant amount of time, effort and money preparing her for serious long-term cruising, a change in plans has this incredibly well-outfitted vessel on the market, ready for a new owner that wants to do the same, without all that entails prepping a boat for such.
PEREGRINE is as versatile and comfortable as you'll find in a boat this class and size, with outstanding features, performance, interior volume and capability. Distant horizons are not far away at all, especially when your boat is as ready to discover them as you are.
