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.
Manufactures Description: Versatility best describes the Hunter 460. Whether crossing oceans or bays, banging around the buoys or just living aboard, this boat has the capacity to do it all. Bringing the cockpit full beam allows the use of a custom console complete with mechanical steering, electronics space, twin fold down tables, and even a storage bin with drink holders. The standard recessed windlass allows the capability of handling two anchors simultaneously on the dual offset anchor roller. Self-draining propane lockers on both port and starboard are convenient, safe, and practical. The Hunter trademark cockpit arch keeps the adjustable traveler up and out of the way and makes a great attachment point for the Bimini. Hand-rubbed teak and exquisite fabrics are in evidence throughout the grand interior, where storage is plentiful as is natural light and ventilation. The dinette area is large enough to handle the crew, but intimate enough for two. An enormous dual-opening refrigerator and freezer are central to the U-shaped galley. Force 10 stove and oven, plus a microwave, will make dinners a joy to prepare while the island sink will have cleanup covered. Storage for everything is at hand including the recessed trash receptacle. Entertaining is gracious with the open salon which incorporates a TV and CD stereo. Twin comfortable seats and a convertible cocktail table are located just forward of the extensive nav station with plenty of space for electronics and gear. The forward master stateroom rivals most yachts twice her size. Twin hanging lockers and lots of drawers make staying aboard easy, and a great night's sleep is guaranteed by the inner-spring mattresses. The forward master head is spacious and provides plenty of storage. The master shower is separate from the head, allowing private use at all times; a drop down seat is even included for comfort. Aft, there is a choice of two layouts: dual staterooms or a single stateroom and an office - work area. Both are large, airy, and comfortable. In addition, an aft head with integral shower is positioned for convenient access from the aft stateroom or from the salon.
