2002 Hunter 450

Boarding from the dock or the dinghy is easy due to the low, wide swim-step and gradual steps up to deck level. Enormous transom hatches to port and starboard stow everything from lines, to fenders, to the AC cord, as well as creating nice seats for putting on snorkeling gear or chatting with those in the water.

Up top, the aft deck is expansive and with the removable cushion, makes a nice sunpad. The stainless-steel arch that Hunters are known for comes in handy for a variety of things beyond providing an attachment point for the traveler and allowing for end-boom sheeting. It also makes a great handhold that nearly spans the beam of the boat, and it holds a Bimini.

The decks are wide and clear and easy to negotiate all the way forward, where an opening anchor locker houses the windlass and lets the chain drop down quickly and easily without much worry about it piling up. The bow-roller protrudes quite a distance beyond the stem and pushes the anchor well away from both the roller furling and the bow.

The Hunter Passage 450 boasts a fantastic layout below decks.  Head room (6’6”) is impressive and light from numerous hatches and ports gives the space an open feel. Teak woodwork and trim throughout makes the interior warm and inviting.    Entering the Main Salon the large U Shaped dinette is to starboard with a Settee to port.  The middle section of the settee folds out to provide a convenient arm rest and drinks space.  The Master Stateroom aft is impressive and boasts a large real Queen sized Bed and an abundance of cedar lined storage lockers, hanging clothes lockers and drawers.

Two air conditioning units with vents to all cabins.

A basic two-cabin, two-head plan is accented with lots of well-thought-out details and the 14’ beam helps to create a large, very homey interior that’s welcoming—even to those not used to sailboats.
