2013 Hunt Yachts Harrier 36
LUNA is hull # 15 of only 17 Hunt Harrier 36s in existence. In high demand and hard to come by, these iconic designs have become collectible because the molds no longer exist. What a shame, as they are amazing boats on multiple fronts, not the least of which is the character they take on when powered with twin Volvo 435hp diesels with shafts props and rudders. If ever there were the equivalent of a 12 -cylinder touring car on water, this is it! Power aplenty when running with a gaggle of family and friends. Fast (yes!) with an easy 30-32 knot cruise, but equally important is how well she goes at slow speeds on a plane at a whisper, sipping fuel with very little bow rise and therefore excellent visibility for helmsperson and guests alike. And no drier riding boat exists, which means the huge and open cockpit is great underway as well as at rest.
Built for Florida usage, she has a minimal maintenance exterior with white gelcoat surfaces to keep things from heating up too much underfoot, behind the windshield and in the cabin. A simple and well-thought-out boat and well-equipped with goodies like AC/reverse cycle heat for the interior, twin Garmin plotters at the helm, twin Stidd pedestal seats, autopilot, bow thruster, a custom bridge deck wet bar - along with some custom features that allow dual use for the enthusiastic host and the avid angler alike. Bravo!
Exterior space and day boating are clearly the focus, with a very large ensuite head below in keeping with this theme. And yet the interior is both quite lovely and functional with a convertible dinette, galley, and large V-berth with filler to make a huge double, perfect for overnights or the occasional long weekend for a couple or family with younger children.
LUNA is indeed a special boat. Superbly maintained, with light seasonal use in a covered slip up until 2024. This is the second Hunt for the original and current owners with decades of boat ownership in both power and sail, North and South. In other words, they know a great boat when they see one. LUNA benefits from recent improvements like the addition of an electric windlass and anchor roller, fiberglass swim platform, custom bimini and dual height settee on the bridge deck. Reluctantly but seriously offered for sale, she is ready for many additional years of service, and we invite your interest and inspection.
