Broker's Comments

The Hunter Horizon 23 is another great example of accommodation and performance from Hunter boats. The twin keels provide hydrodynamic lift and therefore help drive the hull efficiently. Sailing performance and seakeeping is reported to be good for the size of boat, which is complemented by an incredibly spacious interior for 23'. This interior has a comfortable headroom, double aft berth, separate heads, spacious galley, saloon and finally another breton berth in the forepeak.

This version has been refurbished in this ownership, with the addition of some innovative ideas. It presented as clean, tidy and thoughtfully set-up. With upgrades including: new windows and upholstery, bespoke teak saloon table and recent antifouling. The engine has been regularly maintained and has just had a service. This version also has the original handbook.

If you are looking for a neat, spacious cruiser of this size which is able to dry out and cope with coastal passages, this boat is well worthy of consideration.

If you have any queries, or would like to organise a personal viewing, then please contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
