2007 Hunter Deck Salon

Step below and you’re greeted by that distinctive raised salon—big windows, real sightlines out, and the kind of headroom that keeps tall crew happy. The U-shaped galley tucks in securely with deep sinks and bracing points so you can cook underway, not just at anchor. Under sail, the fractional rig and in-mast furling make it a genuinely easy boat to manage short-handed, with all the key lines led aft. Underfoot, the wide beam carries well aft, giving you a stable platform and a surprisingly generous aft stateroom with a true “owner’s cabin” feel. It’s a boat that feels much larger than its LOA once you’re living aboard.

For this coastline, the Deck Salon design really earns its keep. Those big windows and elevated seating mean you can keep watch and enjoy the scenery even when the breeze turns cool or the marine layer rolls in. The beamy hull and substantial displacement give a reassuring motion in the afternoon chop, while the powerful yet economical diesel lets you punch through lumpy seas between anchorages. Shoal-friendly draft options make it easier to tuck into tighter coves and mooring fields. With easy sail handling from the cockpit and generous tankage, this model is well suited for weekend hops as well as longer stretches on the hook.
