Hunt Yachts Harrier 29

MEANDHER is a rare and nicely maintained one-owner Harrier 29 built on the legendary Hunt deep-V hull for excellent ride and handling.  Her layout is that of a very comfortable dayboat- ample seating, cockpit wet bar, transom door, head with shower- yet she features a comfortable berth below for a night or two onboard.  A smooth and quiet 2017 Volvo D6 diesel provides ample power, bow thruster aids in maneuverability, and Garmin electronics make navigation easy.  

 

INTRODUCTION:

The development of the Hunt Harrier 29 was driven by the success of our Harrier 25, with customers asking for the same Harrier style on a larger platform. Harrier 29s increased length takes advantage of our Surfhunter 29 hull, already well proven and widely admired for its capabilities, efficiency and performance. The Harrier 29 is intended to be more of a dayboat, which is immediately obvious in the huge and inviting cockpit. An on-deck galley makes entertaining even more fun, with helm and companion seats, L-settee, engine box and cross-transom seating for ten, and with superb visibility for sightseeing made even more appealing by the soft, dry ride for which Hunt Yachts are so widely praised. The forward cabin includes V-berth, enclosed stand-up head and stowage - all without affecting the sleek, classic profile.
