The Hunter 30/31 is a fractional-rigged cruising sailboat designed by Hunter Design and built by Hunter Marine (USA) from 2005–2009. With a displacement of 8353.0 lb and a beam of 11.06 ft, this model offers a comfortable interior layout typical of the brand's coastal cruising focus.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over high-performance racing metrics.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 8353.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.18, the boat is generally considered suitable for protected coastal waters and short offshore passages rather than heavy bluewater voyaging.
