47' Hunter 47 Cruisers

If you're looking for a rugged cruiser that can easily sail offshore as well as coastal, then the all new Marlow-Hunter 47 is for you.  This is a big boat with 3 staterooms having full headroom and a raised salon for viewing out of her large deck house windows.  Her specs are even bigger than the Hunter 50!  With her unique new swing steering pedestal she can offer a space saving single wheel with the benefits of a twin wheel boat!  She even has room for a huge storage area under the cockpit or use it for a dinghy garage!  Check out the new quality upgrades and new features described below.

MHQ 2.0

The innovation leader has done it again.  Hunter brought you Walk-Through Transoms, the Traveler Arch and the B&R Easy Sail Rig.  Now the new Marlow-Hunter team has unleashed a barrage of Quality upgrades-MHQ 2.0.  Hunter is the first and only production sailboat manufacturer to eliminate all balsa and plywood from the hulls and decks and go go to All Synthetic Construction. The boats will be lighter and stronger thanks to Nida-Core honeycomb synthetic coring in hulls and decks and Kevlar reinforced hulls from bow to keel to chainplates. The Vinyl-Ester resins have been upgraded as well making the surface below the gel-coat three times stronger, virtually eliminating cracking, crazing or blistering.  The new gel coat upgrade to HK Gel Coat will provide a harder, smoother surface and allows for more fade-resistant colors.  Hunter will now offer an array of gel coat color hulls at an extremely affordable price.

The New Hunter 47

This new 47 retains the pedigree of all Hunter sailboats- they are quick cruising boats that are easy to sail.  Her modern design features and high quality construction make sailing safe and comfortable for the whole family.

This boat incorporates the Henderson design signature bow hollow and a new hard chine that stiffens the boat with less heel.  A huge new fold down transom provides another deck and extends the cockpit.  And check out those flush mount deck hatches, windows and ports.  Down below we have three cabins and two heads all with standing headroom.  The master cabin berth is center line with convenient side entry and of course Hunter's new solid wood floors are spectacular.  Like all Hunters the interior is very bright with large windows and hull portholes.  Best of all she retains the huge benefits of Hunter sailboats: She is the easiest boat to sail amongst her competition with the small (easy to tack) jib and the end boom double ended mainsheet (easy to haul in, all sails controlled from the helm!).

Wish your Hunter could pay for itself? It can, with our smart and incredibly flexible charter income programs. Your boat can generate significant income with our established partners in captained charter, bareboat charter, fractional sailing club, or sailing school.  Unlike churn-and-burn charter programs, you have complete control over the amount of sailing time you enjoy.  Plus, our unique "North/South" program allows you to use your boat in New England in the summer and in Florida or the Caribbean in the winter.  You will appreciate year-round sailing opportunities and a healthy income, plus significant tax advantages.  We will be glad to supply details on any of these programs.
