2016 Sea Hunt Ultra 234

What stands out on this Ultra 234 is how much “big boat” function Sea Hunt packed into a truly manageable hull. The wide beam gives you a surprisingly stable platform when the chop kicks up, and the higher freeboard keeps family and guests feeling secure. The hull’s sharp entry softens the ride, while the flare up front helps keep spray down so you’re not constantly reaching for the towels. Helm ergonomics are thoughtful, with clear sightlines over the bow whether you’re on plane or easing into a slip. There’s ample in-deck storage for beach gear and tackle, and the easy boarding from the transom makes sandbar days and swim stops far less of a circus.

An Ultra 234 is tailor-made for the kind of mixed days this region throws at you—calm morning runs to the inlet, breezy afternoon chop, and those glorious sunset cruises home. The length and deadrise are ideal for crossing the short, confused waves that build in open stretches, yet it’s still small enough to trailer to different ramps and explore new water. The layout lets you fish structure one day and shuttle a crew to the sandbar the next without feeling cramped. Efficient power keeps fuel stops reasonable when you’re hopping between creeks, barrier islands, and nearshore reefs, making this model a smart all‑around choice here.
