Broker's Comments

*** Berth paid until end of July 2024 ***

I have rarely come across a yacht anywhere near this age (1998) that has been so lovingly looked after as this Hunter 265 has.

The owner has invested heavily in the boat -and meticulously recorded all expenditure since he acquired it in 2019 - over £40k.

All maintenance issues have been addressed supported by an itemised list and receipts. The exterior (spray hood, sails and cover, rigging) and interior (saloon, aft cabin, upholstery, galley, fore cabin, heads) look in excellent condition. There is a modern Raymarine plotter in addition to the ever-useful standby, a Garmin 128.

All lines lead back to the cockpit - even the outhaul and topping lift. The tiller has a useful adaptation that lets it be raised vertically whilst still using the ST1000 auto pilot.

The safety raft valise is dated to July 2024.

If you are looking for a comfortable seaworthy yacht that is easily manageable solo or short-handed, then this Hunter is well worth a look.

An inflatable dinghy and Honda outboard may be available for sale as well.
