The Hunter 49, produced from 2007 to 2012, was the flagship of Hunter Marine’s cruising lineup, designed to offer a balance of comfort, performance, and ease of handling. Making its U.S. debut in 2007, the model quickly gained popularity among liveaboard sailors and passagemakers for its spacious interior, robust build, and user-friendly sail plan. With a high freeboard, generous beam, and well-thought-out accommodations, the Hunter 49 remains a sought-after yacht for those cruising the Florida coast, Gulf of Mexico, and beyond.
