Used Hunter 29.5 Sailboats for Sale

The Hunter 29.5 represents a transformative era for Hunter Marine, signaling a departure from traditional narrow-beam designs toward the "inside-out" philosophy that defined the brand’s mid-1990s output. Introduced in 1994 and designed by Rob Mazza and the Hunter Design Team, the 29.5 was engineered to provide the interior volume of a 34-foot yacht within a 29-foot-6-inch hull. By prioritizing a "great room" living concept and a simplified, high-performance rig, the model became a staple for coastal cruisers and weekenders seeking a modern, low-maintenance platform. While it was eventually succeeded by the Hunter 290, the 29.5 remains a distinct design for its lack of a forward bulkhead, a feature that maximizes the sense of space at the cost of traditional cabin privacy.
