Hunter 426 DS, 42 ft, 2003, CEIBA - taxes payées

The Hunter 426DS represents the pinnacle of this legendary builder's achievement in the mid-
size cruising yacht category. These boats have earned their reputation as exceptional vessels to
own, operate, and sail, combining Hunter's renowned construction quality with thoughtful design
elements that make extended cruising a pleasure rather than a chore. The extraordinary build
quality shines through in every detail, from the solid fiberglass construction to the carefully
engineered systems integration.

The designer has thoughtfully positioned all systems for easy accessibility, making maintenance straightforward and
future additions or upgrades simple to implement.

Step aboard and immediately appreciate the remarkable 8 feet of standing room that extends
from the companionway all the way forward to the V-berth stateroom - a luxury rarely found in
boats this size. The tried-and-true B&R rigging system paired with the easy-to-operate furling
main has proven itself through countless circumnavigations and decades of reliable service.

These systems have literally sailed around the world, demonstrating their durability and user-
friendly design.

While this Hunter 426DS is certainly capable of ocean passages and world cruising, it's also the
perfect vessel for the Great Loop adventure or extended coastal cruising. The combination of
shallow draft, reliable systems, and comfortable accommodations makes it ideally suited for
exploring inland waters.

NAVIGATION & ELECTRONICS Navigate with confidence using dual Axiom chartplotters at helm and nav station, comprehensive radar coverage, and full AIS system for complete situational awareness on every voyage.

PROPULSION & MANEUVERING The professionally maintained Yanmar 4GM engine delivers reliable power, while the jet thruster with remote controls transforms docking into a single-handed operation, making marina arrivals effortless and stress-free.

SAIL HANDLING & COMFORT Experience true sailing pleasure with new sails, roller furling main, and all lines led aft for easy handling. Canvas sun covers and full winter canvas with solar panel access ensure year-round protection. Enjoy spacious living with luxurious V-berth and private head forward, plus large aft stateroom with ensuite head. Full galley features separate freezer/refrigerator, propane oven and burners with LP protection switch. Dual AC units maintain perfect climate control.

POWER & INDEPENDENCE Fischer-Panda generator paired with massive 400 amp-hour house battery capacity and reliable inverter-power management system ensures unlimited anchoring freedom, perfect for C-PAP users. 300 feet of anchor chain with remote control operation and anchoring sail provide secure holding in windy anchorages.

ENTERTAINMENT & SAFETY Relax with Bose entertainment system, 20-inch TV, digital TV antenna (needs installation), and cockpit Bluetooth radio. Cockpit cushions and deck seats create perfect outdoor living space. Advanced galvanic isolator, AC monitor, tank monitoring system, and comprehensive safety gear including 6 IFDs ensure crew protection. Included 10-foot, 4-person dinghy with 8HP Yamaha outboard and foldable davits ensures safe shore access.

INTERIOR LAYOUT & ACCOMMODATIONS

The galley is generously sized and well laid out in a practical L-shape, fitted with Corian countertops and enhanced by excellent ventilation from two opening ports, a hatch, and the proximate companionway.

The centerpiece of the main saloon is an eye-catching glossy varnished table with a center leaf that converts to a coffee table, and the table drops down to convert to a double berth.

The U-shaped dinette comfortably seats four with ample elbow room on sculpted seats, and the settees are long enough to stretch out on.
