Description: |
Comfortable and proven liveaboard cruiser ideal for coastal waterways. Surprise, a 3 cabin Hunter 460, is bright and beamy with an impressive 8 ft of headroom that gives the interior the feel of a much larger yacht. Two vacuflush heads, separate full size shower, and the largest galley to be found on a boat this length will make you feel right at home. The 76 hp yanmar engine makes docking and maneuvering a breeze. Short-handed sailing is also easy thanks to in-mast furling, traveler on a stainless steel arch, and all lines leading to the cockpit. Surprise boasts 3 water tanks with a combined capacity of 200 gals, a 6kW Northern Lights generator, and 35 lb Delta anchor with 150 ft of galvanized chain rode supported by a Simpson Lawrence 1500 electric windlass which makes weeks on anchor a delight. Also included in the sale is a 2020 Highfield UL 310 RIB dinghy with two outboards - one 15 hp Mercury and one 4 hp Tohatsu.
After berthing primarily in freshwater, Surprise completed a round-trip cruise to Key West, FL from Washington, DC in 2021 and benefitted from several upgrades including all new house, starter, and windless batteries, increased anchor rode, rebuilt generator cooling system, new running rigging, minor sail repairs, through-hulls and seacocks brought up to ABYC code, and updated charts.
