About the HUNTER 36 VISION

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Hunter 36 Vision is a fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Hunter Marine (USA) between 1990 and 1995. With a displacement of 15500.0 lb and a beam of 12.75 ft, this model represents a specific era of American production cruising yachts.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over heavy offshore performance. Its fractional rig and free-standing mast configuration appeal to owners seeking straightforward sail management.
Bluewater capability:
With a capsize ratio of 2.05 and a comfort ratio of 24.84, the Hunter 36 Vision is generally considered suitable for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extended bluewater passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats from this era include the Hunter 360 and Beneteau 36, which share similar beam dimensions and interior layouts. These models are comparable due to their shared focus on cabin comfort and moderate displacement within the 36-foot class.
