The Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 29 is a culmination of decades of design and engineering by one of yachting’s most influential designers. More capable than the widely popular and respected Surfhunter 25, her legendary Hunt Deep-V hull, timeless aesthetics, superb build quality and thoughtful ergonomics combine in an elegant and functional way.
