Overview
If you’re looking for a classic cruiser that hits the sweet spot between value, comfort, and proven design, a well-kept 1989 Hunter 35.5 is hard to beat.
This 1989 Hunter 35.5 presents exactly how you want a boat of this vintage to show—clean, well cared for, and thoughtfully maintained. Designed as a spacious coastal cruiser, the 35.5 quickly earned a reputation for delivering big-boat comfort in a manageable package, and this example lives up to that legacy.
At just over 35 feet LOA with a generous 11’9” beam, the boat feels remarkably roomy both on deck and below . The cockpit is wide and inviting, featuring wheel steering and the signature walk-through transom that makes boarding, swimming, or dinghy access effortless. The deck layout is simple and efficient, ideal for short-handed sailing or relaxed days on the bay.
Under sail, the fractional sloop rig provides a nice balance of performance and ease of handling. The boat carries enough sail area to stay lively in light air, yet remains forgiving and stable—perfect for coastal cruising or weekend getaways.
Below deck is where the Hunter 35.5 really shines. The interior is bright, open, and surprisingly expansive, offering over six feet of headroom and accommodations that comfortably sleep six . You’ll find:
- A large aft cabin with a true athwartships berth
- A spacious forward V-berth
- A functional U-shaped galley
- A dedicated nav station
- An enclosed head with shower
The layout feels more like a 40-footer than a mid-30s boat, making extended stays aboard enjoyable.
Power comes from a reliable Yanmar diesel (27hp), and notably, this vessel has under 1,000 engine hours—a major plus that speaks to light use and long remaining service life . That’s exactly the kind of detail experienced buyers look for.
Overall, this is a boat that is priced right and shows exceptionally well for its age. It offers the rare combination of space, comfort, and value in a proven production cruiser that has stood the test of time.
Make an offer, cast off the lines, and go sailing—this one is ready.
