Hunter 386

PRICE REDUCTION!  This Hunter 386 is a superb example of one of Hunter’s most popular cruising models, combining comfort, performance, and thoughtful upgrades. Built in Alachua, FL by Hunter Marine and designed around the proven B&R fractional rig, she offers easy sail handling with in-mast furling, cockpit-led controls, and a traveler within reach of the helm. Her shoal draft keel makes her well-suited for New England waters and ICW passages, while a folding/feathering prop and asymmetrical spinnaker add efficiency and versatility under sail.

Below deck, the interior is bright and spacious with 6’6” headroom and a two-cabin, one-head layout. The owner’s aft stateroom features a queen-sized athwartships berth with custom mattress, cedar hanging locker, wet locker, and generous storage. Forward, a comfortable V-berth provides guest accommodations, while the main salon offers a U-shaped settee, convertible dinette, and teak cabinetry. The galley is fully outfitted with Corian counters, deep stainless sinks, upgraded fixtures, refrigerator/freezer, and LPG stove/oven. A dedicated nav station with updated Garmin electronics (2024) ensures smooth cruising.

On deck, she is equally well equipped with a dual-roller anchoring system, electric windlass, stainless rail seating, davits for the dinghy, and a full cockpit canvas enclosure (2023). A powerful Northern Lights 5 kW generator, 300 W solar system with Bluetooth monitoring, large house battery bank, and inverter provide robust power options both at anchor and underway. Reverse-cycle heat/air conditioning in three zones, LED lighting, and a Bose entertainment system round out the creature comforts.

With her extensive upgrades—including new electronics, sails handling gear, canvas, solar, batteries, and recent mechanical service—this Hunter 386 is turnkey for cruising or liveaboard use. She represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a proven coastal cruiser with the range and amenities to stretch into longer passages.
