Remarks:

The Hunter Horizon 26 is a small cruising yacht with good performance and spacious accommodation including an aft cabin and separate heads, all in a compact form.

Among the best performing bilge-keeled yachts on the market and versatile for exploring coastal regions or the shallower waters of estuaries and the Norfolk Broads.

She is very well presented and has been well looked after with routine maintenance carried out as required.

Please Note: Photos are from the 2024 season with the exception of those under sail (with the red canopy that has now been replaced)
