Why Marlow-Hunter instead of Hunter? In 2012, Hunter Marine was acquired by Marlow Yachts. David E Marlow embarked on upgrading the Hunter brand to a much higher standard. The influence of Marlow Manufacturing was reflected in the design, manufacture and quality of the Marlow Hunter line during its entire production run. Sage is a proud example of the Marlow-Hunter 40, sometimes referred to as the 40-2, refined and produced from 2014-2018.
This vessel is currently in the San Juan Sailing and Yachting charter program. Charter makes the ownership of Sage a much more affordable option. Ask for more information on how you could buy her and continue the participation in the charter program or if you wish, sail her away to her new home as a privately owned vessel.
