2006 Hunter Hunter 36

Step below and you’ll notice how bright and open this 36 feels for her size—big ports, light woods, and headroom that doesn’t leave taller crew hunched over. The cockpit is laid out so the helm can trim without leaving the wheel, but there’s still room for friends to stretch out on the long benches. Under sail, she tracks predictably and forgives the occasional sloppy trim, making her a confidence-builder for newer skippers. At anchor, the walk-through transom and swim platform turn the stern into your floating patio, with easy dinghy access and a great perch for sunsets. Storage is generous, so provisions, spare gear, and foulies all have a proper home.

This 36-footer shines in local waters where conditions can swing from whisper-light to punchy in a single day. Her hull form moves efficiently in lighter air, so you’re not stuck motoring when the breeze eases, and the rig has the power and control to stay comfortable when it pipes up. The cockpit protection and secure side decks suit longer days threading channels and passes. Shoal-friendly draft options help you tuck into snug coves, while tankage and systems are sized for multi-day cruises without hunting for a dock. It’s a practical blend of performance and liveaboard comfort tailored to this cruising ground’s mix of open stretches and protected anchorages.
