Designed for recreational sailors seeking comfortable coastal cruising, this popular 30-footer represents Hunter Marine's commitment to accessible sailing. The Hunter 30 embodies the builder's philosophy of creating boats that prioritize ease of handling and onboard comfort over pure performance, making it an appealing choice for weekend warriors and casual cruisers. Built during Hunter's prolific production years, this model features the company's characteristic roomy interior layout that maximizes living space within the hull. The boat typically incorporates Hunter's signature wide beam design, contributing to enhanced stability and generous cabin volume that feels larger than many comparable 30-footers. While not intended for serious offshore passages, the Hunter 30 excels in protected waters, coastal day sailing, and light cruising applications. Its moderate displacement and sail plan strike a balance between performance and predictability, making it forgiving for newer sailors while still providing enjoyable sailing characteristics for experienced crews. The boat's reputation centers on its value proposition—offering comfortable accommodations, straightforward systems, and reasonable sailing ability at an attractive price point. This combination has made it a popular choice in the used boat market for those entering cruising sailing or seeking an affordable coastal cruiser.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.

- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
