Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 29

BATTENDOWN is a nice example of the highly regarded Hunt Surfhunter 29. Still in the hands of her original owner, she has been well maintained and features the sought-after Volvo 350-hp D6 diesel engine, low engine hours, and updated Garmin electronics.

Currently enrolled in Hinckley’s YachtCare program, BATTENDOWN is easily accessible for viewing in our indoor facility and is already being prepped for the season. The legendary Hunt Deep Vee hull delivers an exceptionally smooth, secure ride—offering the performance and feel of a much larger vessel.

 

INTRODUCTION:

The Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 29 is a culmination of decades of design and engineering by one of yachting’s most influential designers.  More capable than the widely popular and respected Surfhunter 25, her legendary Hunt Deep V hull, timeless aesthetics, superb build quality and thoughtful ergonomics combine in an elegant and functional way.  This sporty, capable small yacht is quite likely the finest small vessel you will ever own and operate.
