The boatbuilders at Marlow-Hunter , formerly known as Hunter Marine, may have been too successful, if that’s possible, with their prodigious production run of more than 600 Hunter 33 s. They found that the boat’s secondhand market was so vibrant that, in essence, they were competing against themselves for new-boat sales. They decided that by offering a new family cruiser of the same size but with significant innovations and upgrades, they might lure customers back into the new-boat market, and if they made the price very attractive, they might also entice trailer-sailors to make the leap up into a manageable keelboat.

The innovations and improvements found in the new and completely revamped Hunter 33 aren’t mere window dressing; they’re genuine leaps forward in speed, handling, comfort, and value. Always lurking is the risk of trying to squeeze too much into a small hull, such as larger cockpits, more spacious decks, increased interior volume, and a plethora of modern gadgetry. But Glen Henderson and the Hunter Design Group have found a superb balance in this package of upgrades.

The new hull still maintains Henderson’s signature hollow bow but now sports a trendy hard chine. By placing it beneath the waterline, Henderson sacrificed the cosmetic flourish of an elevated chine but found the sweet spot in terms of form stability and lateral resistance while under way.

Small but ultimately significant adjustments to the deck design add up to notable ergonomic efficiency. The cockpit pedestal has been moved back a few inches to create a larger cockpit area. A clever drop-down/walk-through transom adds to the usable space, and because this is a relatively high-sided vessel, it will be the preferred boarding point. The offset boarding ladder will come in handy for swimmers. The Lewmar wheel, when folded in, opens the access forward. But even in its full open position, it offers 10 inches of clearance between the wheel and the cockpit seats, giving the helmsman quick access to the sailing controls forward on the cabin top.

Two seats sculpted into the impregnable aft pulpit add to the already spacious outdoor social area. The steering pedestal is stout and holds an array of engine and navigational instruments, and it acts as the base for a sizable folding cockpit table.

It wouldn’t be a Hunter without the forward sloping arch with overhead, dual-ended mainsail sheeting. The headsail sheet winches are adequately sized and placed handy to the helm. Sheet wells built into the companionway bulkheads tame the abundance of sheets, halyards, and furling lines led aft to the cabin top.

There are ample stowage lockers, and the twin-bottle LPG locker is particularly well designed. I don’t like the three-washboard arrangement on a tapered companionway hatch, but this was the only fault I found in an otherwise excellent cockpit plan.

The deck has been redesigned with larger deadlights that allow more light below. Also, the lower shrouds have been moved inboard, creating an unencumbered flow forward. The new seahood covers the many lines leading aft, leaving a cleaner and, therefore, safer deck. The foredeck workspace is well thought out, with a small but adequate rode locker, a single roller, a recessed Lewmar windlass, and a snubbing cleat. The twin lifelines are coated but stand a minimal 23 inches high. I’d like to see this figure raised across the industry.

Though not touted as a performance cruiser, I found the 33 to be quick and responsive. Even with the in-mast furling option (not the fastest of sail plans), in only 5 to 7 knots of breeze, we maintained an honest 5.5 knots to windward and just under 5 with the wind on the beam. The 33 tacked effortlessly and tracked well. All in all, this is a slippery yet well-behaved hull.

Under power—the boat we tested had a 29-horsepower Yanmar diesel with saildrive—the vessel showed a good turn of speed, touching 6.5 knots at a cruising rpm and 7.5 when flat-out. (A 21-horsepower engine is also available.) It backed with precision and, due to the highly efficient balanced spade rudder, turned nearly in its own length. With the 33’s small size and snappy responsiveness, the boat should prove quite manageable in tight quarters.

Where it really shines, however, is below. The interior is surprisingly spacious, bright, and well ventilated. Good handholds and the rounded teak companionway steps lead one safely below. A single full-size head and shower lie to starboard, across from a well-executed galley to port. The countertops are an attractive and practical white speckled Corian. A stainless-steel rail acts as both fiddle and handhold. The two-burner stove/oven is well fiddled but could use a little more angle when gimbaled. There’s a single but deep sink. The galley is large enough to work in conveniently but enclosed enough for safe use at sea.

The main saloon sports a very clever central table that’s built around a liquor/stowage cabinet. The table drops to create an additional berth. Across to starboard, a bench seat can be folded up to create a central cocktail table that doubles as the navigation station. Other amenities include a flat-screen TV and even an iPod docking station. Not mere gimmickry, this is a commitment to bringing the company’s styling, amenities, and electrical/mechanical systems up to the most modern of standards.

The owners cabin forward is bright, spacious, and offers good stowage spaces. The athwartship guest double lies in the stern to starboard.

The fit and finish are fine, and the overall cherry color and styling is pleasing to the eye. But more important, it must be noted again that this is only a 33-foot sailboat, and yet it contains two private cabins, a full-service galley, a spacious central saloon area, a full-size head and shower, and a navigation station—while still offering easy engine access and room to spare for generous stowage of gear.

The Hunter 33 shows no incongruities in its core concept. This is a contemporary-looking, modern-feeling coastal or near-offshore cruiser designed to take an entire family to sea in ease, style, and comfort. The good news is that it can do this at an amazingly attractive price. With that combination of looks, performance, and value, Marlow-Hunter may find itself faced again, perhaps in just a few years, with the same fortunate problem that its new 33 was designed to solve.

Average Sailboat Price

Last Updated by

Daniel Wade

June 15, 2022

Sailboat costs vary, but we can get a general idea by studying the market and using a few examples.

The average cost of a new cruising sailboat is about $250,000. Prices for new boats typically range from $100,000 to $500,000. The average price of a used cruising sailboat is between $10,000 and $100,000.

In this article, we'll break down the average prices of different sailboats by type, age, condition, and size. We'll also go over the factors that contribute to the price and how much you can expect to pay for different popular features.

We sourced the information used in this article from sailboat pricing guides and the manufacturers of new cruising vessels. We also performed our own analysis of the used sailboat market.

Table of contents

‍ Factors that Contribute to Sailboat Cost

There are a number of factors that contribute to the cost of a sailboat. They differ based primarily on the market they're sold in. For example, a used sailboat's condition will affect its price, but this detail is irrelevant to a new sailboat.

New Sailboat Pricing Factors

New sailboats can be very costly, and prices have gone up over the last few decades. Sailboats are no longer the common family accessory that they were at the height of the 1960s and 1970s fiberglass boat era. This means that fewer companies produce them.

Additionally, the equipment found in sailboats today is far more effective and technologically advanced than it once was. In the 1970s, a sailboat with ducted central heating and air conditioning was unthinkable, but it's standard on a lot of boats today because that's what consumers expect.

The primary factors that contribute to the cost of a new sailboat are size, material, standard equipment, and the level of fit-and-finish.

Size is the single biggest contributing factor. Let's use the popular 31-foot Catalina 315 as a benchmark. This is one of the smallest sailboats made by Catalina today, and it starts at $163,000. This boat is pretty basic, so we can safely say that it's on the low end of the new boat cost scale.

Now let's look at its big brother, the Catalina 355. This 35-foot sailboat has a similar level of fit-and-finish, so we can pretend it's just a stretched version of the Catalina 315. This vessel starts at around $231,000, which is significantly more expensive for an extra five feet in length.

Standard Equipment

An entry-level, base-model cruising sailboat has very little extra equipment, even today. These vessels can be optioned out with everything from powered winches and autopilot to radar and air conditioning. Let's pick a few options and compare pricing.

• Air Conditioning: $1,859
• Radar: $1,878
• Power Winches: $1,485 each (assume 2 are installed, so $2,970)
• Autopilot: $2,000
• Bow Thruster: $2,165
• Total: $10,872

As you can see, just a few popular additional options can add up to a significant cost increase. And we just used the cost of the equipment itself—not installation. This is compounded as size increases, as larger boats require larger machines to achieve the same effect (with the exception of radar in most cases).

Fit and Finish

Fit and finish are major contributors to sailboat pricing, especially with brand new boats. For example, substituting composite countertops for stone or marble can cost thousands. Plus, the use of finer woods, metals, and fixtures can easily double or triple the overall cost of furnishings.

Used Sailboat Pricing Factors

Factors that contribute to used sailboat costs are a bit less dramatic, but they're more difficult to predict. For example, the same boat with the same equipment may sell for 20% more if it's five years newer. The primary contributors to used sailboat costs are age, type, size, and condition.

Overall Condition

Condition is the biggest factor in used sailboat pricing, as it is a direct contributor to the cost of maintenance. How much work needs to be done before the vessel is clean, comfortable, and safe? This is why boats with damage can be a great deal if you're willing to do the work.

Older sailboats simply cost less—to a point. This rule doesn't apply to classic vessels, especially if they're in pristine condition. But virtually every fiberglass sailboat that's older than 20 or 30 years is going to be pretty affordable compared to late-model vessels.

Vessel Type

Cruising sailboats tend to cost more than light sport sailboats, especially as you go further back in age. This is because cruising sailboats are better equipped and more comfortable and thus more desirable to the market as a whole.

Average New Cruising Sailboat Cost

The average cost of a new cruising sailboat is about $250,000. This number is taken from analyzing new sailboat listings of various sizes, with the average being about 35 feet in overall length.

New cruising sailboats range in price from around $150,000 to well north of $500,000 for large and custom models. Aluminum sailboats cost significantly more than fiberglass models, and steel tends to fall somewhere in the middle.

The price of wooden boats is virtually impossible to ballpark until plans are examined, and materials are sourced. Plywood boats cost less than hardwood boats by a significant margin, as there's only a handful of people alive who are competent classical boatbuilders.

Used Cruising Sailboat Cost

Used cruising sailboats are significantly less expensive than new ones. On average, the price of a 20 to 30-year-old cruising sailboat in excellent, voyage-ready condition is between $30,000.

The price of used cruising sailboats ranges from $5,000 for older vessels and $150,000 for late-model cruisers. The cost occasionally soars past $200,000 for special models, especially high-tech luxury yachts.

Can You Finance a Sailboat?

Yes, it's entirely possible to get a loan for a new or used sailboat. It's usually easier to get a loan for a sailboat than a powerboat, and it's also much less expensive to insure. Sailboat loans can be more difficult to get and more costly than car or house loans, but good credit goes a long way.

The average interest rate on a sailboat loan ranges from 4% on the low end to 7% for riskier and smaller loans. New sailboat loans are different, as the amount of money involved usually lowers the interest rate.

Average Price to Build a Sailboat

The great thing about building a sailboat is that the only financial price you pay is the cost of materials. A sailboat can be constructed by a relatively unskilled individual today thanks to modern boatbuilding methods such as stitch-and-glue plywood construction.

The cost of materials varies widely between boats. A small wooden sailboat built from white oak can cost significantly more than a larger sailboat built of steel, and a fiberglass sailboat of any size is usually the cheapest option.

The highest costs, other than wood, are usually due to the price of marine epoxy. A one gallon can of good boat epoxy can easily cost $100 or more, and you'll need many gallons to complete the most modest boatbuilding projects.

Unless you're building a small open-cockpit sailboat, you can expect to pay in the tens of thousands for materials. These costs can eclipse $50,000, but it's still significantly cheaper than hiring a custom boatbuilder. That said, custom boatyards are the way to go for professional fit-and-finish.

Marlow-Hunter, LLC

The 33 – compact cruiser of the year.

360 Marlow-Hunter 33 Virtual Tour »

The Award-Winning Marlow-Hunter 33 is a stunning sailing yacht. Keeping with the Hunter of yesterday’s signature window line gives this yacht the sleek feel of the latest Marlow-Hunters, but the improvements do not end there. The hull design has been improved, featuring a wider beam further aft as well as a more profound bow hollow. The result of this hull design is a longer dynamic waterline, which means more speed. The deck features a sleek, modern profile with large side windows allowing for increased interior light. The deck hatches are flush-mount, offering an enhanced look that complements the new profile. Lengthening the cockpit has allowed the Marlow-Hunter 33 to have a cockpit that is longer than its predecessor. The cockpit of the Marlow-Hunter 33 also features a fold-down swim platform that extends the already lengthy cockpit when folded down while the boat is docked or at anchor.

Extending the cockpit allows for a larger master aft cabin that features more headroom. Overall, the interior has been enhanced with a richer look and feel. Enhancements start at the sole of the interior which features a hardwood flooring look that accentuates the true beauty of the Marlow-Hunter 33’s interior. Corian galley countertops feature complementing stainless steel fiddles that not only keep items from falling off the countertops in a seaway but also serve as excellent hand holds when moving about below. The interior wood used for the bulkheads as well as cabinet doors has been rotated 90 degrees so that the wood grain runs horizontally instead of vertically. Not only does this add a crisp modern touch to the interior, it also gives the eye an impression of a larger interior space.

The salon features several intelligent enhancements. To starboard, the comfortable settee features a center section that easily flips up to create a convenient chart table. The beauty of this system is its robust design…and no moving parts to wear out! To port, the elegant dinette sports Marlow-Hunter’s unique Easy Lift system. With a few simple cranks, the dinette table lowers to form the base of a double sleeper sofa. Above, near the overhead, Marlow-Hunter has thoughtfully provided flat, fiddle-protected cabinet tops that supply even more storage space.

New Boat Review: Hunter 33

Redesigned family cruising boat sports new transom and deck plan..

The new Hunter 33 had the odds stacked against it from the get-go.

The 33-foot family cruiser debuted in the fall of 2011, when the domestic sailboat market was stuck in a ditch, marketing budgets were slashed, and the U.S. boating industry was grasping at threads of good news. Four months later, Hunter Marine’s parent group Luhrs Marine filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Against all odds, however, the 33 is selling well. More than 60 have been ordered since the boat was introduced, and all but a few that have been built have been sold. It is one of Hunter’s best debuts since the 2008 downturn.

Looking ahead, the bankruptcy filing should be a boon for Hunter, as it will unshackle the sailboat side of the business from the struggling powerboat brands. Hunter, which converted to an employee-owned operation in 1996, expects to be out of the bankruptcy weeds by the end of July.

While new ownership appears in the offing for Hunter, co-founder Warren Luhrs will likely still have a stake. Luhrs—who’s 80-day sail from New York to San Francisco set a record in 1989—helped redefine Hunter in the 1990s. Under his leadership, design innovations by the late Swedish engineer Lars Bergstrom (the “B” in Hunter’s signature backstayless B&R rig) and faster hulls from designer Glen Henderson helped propel Hunter’s makeover through the last two decades.

“We have several very promising buyers interested, one in particular, but we can’t say anything right now,” said Greg Emerson, Hunter’s chief of public relations. The company has secured financing from Bank of America to help with the transition, allowing Hunter to continue full operations and provide warranty support without interruption.

Of the big three American boatbuilders (Catalina and Beneteau USA are the other two), Hunter reached the farthest outside the box as the traditional boat market sagged. The hybrid powerboat-sailboat Hunter Edge introduced in 2009 was a sharp departure from its usual fare. In 2010, it launched the Elco-powered electric hybrid e27. And last year, Hunter debuted the electric hybrid e36. The new Hunter 33, by comparison, is a case study in incremental changes. Below the waterline, it is virtually identical to the previous Hunter 33, of which 623 hulls were between 2005 and 2011.

Starting in the mid-1990s, Henderson began revamping the Hunter fleet, exploring ways to boost performance, make sailing easier, and create interior space for the creature comforts that Hunter owners expect. The new 33 bears Henderson’s signature changes—beam carried well aft to increase interior volume below, a concave hollow in the bow and shallow forefoot to reduce pitching motion, and a fractional rig to make maneuvering under sail easier. Trickling down from the ocean racing realm, hard chines are the new trend in the recreational market. Henderson located the new 33’s chine at the waterline, to aid in tracking when the boat is heeled.

One of three designers we spoke with in Practical Sailor’s 2005 designers conference, Henderson emphasized the importance of the rudder in providing lift. Like previous Henderson designs, the 33’s elliptical rudder is fairly large, and the keel is conservatively proportioned, allowing sufficient lead—the fore-and-aft distance between the center of effort and the center of lateral resistance—to make for a well-balanced sailer. (See PS, February 2009, “The Balancing Act.”) Hunter offers a 4-foot-6-inch shoal-draft version and 5-foot-6-inch deep draft of the new 33.

The boat’s excitement factor will depend a great deal on the sail plan. Henderson is a firm proponent of the fractional rig, with an easily tacked 110-percent furling jib. To up the fun-factor in light-air, a Code 0 asymmetrical sail will be a good investment.

For the mainsail, Hunter offers two options. Most buyers opt for the in-mast furling rig, an attractive choice for weekend cruisers who don’t want the hassles of setting and stowing a mainsail. Performance enthusiasts should opt for the standard rig. A full-battened, fat-head mainsail will significantly boost horsepower: The mast is shorter (by nearly 5 feet), lighter, and more aerodynamic than the furling mast.

Foregoing a furling main has trade-offs. Hunter’s overhead arch puts the aft end of the sail high above the cockpit, making setting and dousing a full-batten sail more of a chore, particularly if a full bimini is part of the picture. To simplify stowage, Hunter offers a self-stowing sailcover system with lazy jacks similar to those we looked at in our February 2008 article “Taming the Main.”

The clearest difference between the new 33 and the previous version is the new deck plan. The previous model had a walk-through transom that opened onto a stern boarding platform. The new model has a hinged transom cutout that folds down to create a swim platform that offers more area than the previous platform. As a result, the cockpit is larger, the main cabin can move aft, and the berth below the cockpit gains more space.

One big benefit of the larger cockpit, strictly from a cruising standpoint, is the bigger cockpit table. Featuring twin drop-down leaves hinged along the centerline, the 33’s table has a catch-all bin at its base—great for sunscreen, winch handles, and gloves—that doubles as a foot brace. There is plenty of room to move around the folded table, and older sailors will appreciate the extra handhold.

The previous model’s more secure—and unattractive, in our view—bathtub wrap-around coaming is gone. Instead, port and starboard lockers (starboard for propane tanks) are aft. The cockpit seats are technically too short for snoozing (4 feet, 9 inches by 1 foot, 6 inches), but seat cushions raise the seats up to the same level of the lazarettes, so you effectively have 5 feet, 7 inches to stretch out. Head clearance under the arch is 6 feet. A 4-inch bridgedeck keeps water from sloshing below. Lexan hatchboards stow in a dedicated storage bin in the port cockpit locker, ready as needed offshore.

Our test boat from Massey Marine in Palmetto, Fla., was equipped with the Mariner Package, which includes the overhead arch, an upgraded 29-horsepower Yanmar, Seldén in-mast mainsail furling with a rigid boom vang, a helm sheeting package for the jib, and the optional folding Lewmar steering wheel. It also had upgraded No. 30 Lewmar winches for reefing and furling lines; No. 16 winches are standard. A high-aspect canvas dodger and full-length cockpit canvas rounded out the package.

Sail control is easily managed from the cockpit. Halyards, reefing, and furling lines lead back to ganged Spinlock rope clutches at each side of the companionway. Molded line bins keep tails and toes from becoming ensnared. Mainsail control—both the traveler and mainsheet—can be reached from the helm, although the test boat’s full canvas awning made it hard to monitor the sheet tension and traveler car position, even with a cutout window over the helm. While mid-boom sheeting found on other boats doesn’t suffer this problem, Hunter sensibly prefers end-of-boom sheeting, which minimizes the loads on hardware and humans.

The 19-inch-high coaming offers security in a knock-down, but makes for a big step down to the sidedecks. While hardly expansive, the sidedecks allow easy passage fore and aft. Ample handholds and a low toerail offer security when moving forward. A reconfigured rig, with lower shrouds well inboard, also opens up the passage forward.

Six amply sized cleats (two at the bow, one on each stern quarter, and two amidship) handle docklines, but the stern cleats are vertically oriented, making them harder to access and poorly aligned with dock loads.

The self-draining anchor locker, single bow roller (two rollers are an option), and windlass gear meet the needs of a weekend sailor. This is a standard design on boats of this size, geared more toward aesthetics than midnight anchor drills on a pitching deck. (The more sensible hawse pipe is too much trouble for today’s sailors, it seems.) The anchor locker is relatively shallow, a poor match for someone who likes to pile on rode or carry two anchors. A locker divider is optional.

Most of the sailing hardware is Seldén gear, and this equipment has done very well in our previous tests. Seldén’s 200s Furlex, top rated in our August 2009 test, handles jib furling duties. Seldén’s in-mast furler and rigid vang help tame the mainsail, and Seldén’s top-rated bullet blocks (PS, June 2011) handle mainsheet loads. This is Hunter’s first big boat to feature Seldén’s mainsheet traveler.

The new 33 is the first Hunter model with a saildrive. The standard engine is the 21-horsepower Yanmar 3YM20, but our test boat featured the 29-horsepower 3YM30, which has a shaft output of 27 horsepower. The engine is mounted with the flywheel facing aft, so the gearbox and saildrive mounts and seals are easy to inspect and monitor. Access to the water pump, alternator, and drive belts is through a door in the aft cabin.

Yanmar recommends that this engine be hauled out, inspected, and serviced annually. Paint failure and corrosion on the aluminum lower unit are the chief concerns, so zincs need to be changed routinely, and the paint coating needs to be closely monitored. Copper-loaded bottom paints on the drive are a big no-no. If you live in a tropical climate and are trying to stretch your haulout intervals to three years, you may want to re-think the advantages of having a saildrive.

Saildrives simplify the builder’s job, and their only real advantages for the sailer are reduced underwater drag and some noise reduction. The standard prop is a bronze two-blade prop. Our test boat came with a folding two-blade prop. For long-term reliability and fewer maintenance headaches, we still prefer a conventional drive shaft system.

The boat’s standard systems are handled professionally and are adequate for daysailing, but most sailors will opt for a cruise-ready package, which includes some things we’d consider essential. There is also an iTech upgrade featuring additional HDMI and USB cabling and a cell-phone booster antenna for those who want to stay connected.

Bronze through-hulls have replaced the Marelon versions used on previous models. All seacocks are easily accessible and well labeled. Wiring and plumbing systems closely adhere to norms set by the American Boat and Yacht Council. The 25-gallon fuel tank is polyethylene. We prefer high-grade aluminum for fuel (PS, May 2007). The tank is well supported on all sides and small enough that the rotomolded tank’s biggest drawback—the difficulty of installing leak-free inspection ports—isn’t a major issue.

Hunter’s interior arrangements are among its strongest selling points. The computer-cut interior panels are assembled in modules outside the boat, significantly reducing labor cost. Joints, doors, and lockers that require skilled carpentry are pre-built and fitted in the workshop, where they can get the attention they deserve.

You won’t find finished edges on all plywood panels, but the warm cherry veneer, the creative use of space, and a few practical touches create an interior that is surprisingly roomy and comfortable for a boat of this size.

The extra space gained by pushing the cockpit aft allowed Hunter to angle the steps inboard, so one can walk down facing forward, with excellent handholds on either side of the companionway.

Headroom is 6 feet, 2 inches. White foam-backed material covers the overhead and sides. The material is held in place by grooved plastic track and can be removed and re-installed (with a special roller) to access deck hardware. This allows Hunter to through-bolt all hardware through a backing plate.

The main cabin and galley are well lit with big side windows, and two flush, frameless overhead hatches—one opening forward, the other opening aft—provide ventilation. The forward V-berth has its own hatch, and the aft cabin in the starboard quarter has a larger-than-queen-size bed, two ports and a fairly large hatch in the port settee. These hatches don’t get a whole lot of breeze in a still anchorage, but the space is much airier than that of previous models.

The galley is well-appointed, with a gimbaled, two-burner Force 10 stove and oven, and a single, deep sink. So long as you don’t need access to lockers or the ice-box (or optional freezer), there’s more than enough counter-space. Our test boat had a minimally insulated, front-opening fridge. These self-contained units work well for daysailing and dockside entertaining, but can be real energy hogs away from shore. A top-loading freezer/fridge with better insulation is an option.

The starboard head doubles as a shower, which has its own sump. The space’s snug fore-and-aft dimensions allow for a sleeping-length settee to starboard and the spacious aft cabin.

The dinette table has a slightly raised, fiddled catch-all for food, drinks, iPods, Barbie dolls, Legos, whatever. Beneath the vertical structure is a hand crank that raises and lowers the table, quickly converting it into a long 4-foot-4-inch-wide berth. This is a slick, one-person operation. Similarly, the center section of the starboard settee flips inboard to convert into a coffee table or small chart table.

Performance

We tested the boat in protected waters on the Bradenton River, Fla., in 10 to 12 knots northwest wind. A quarter-knot incoming tide was nearly aligned with the wind, and the following data, recorded by the GPS on our Velocitek ProStart, compensates for this current.

At 2,600 rpm, the upgraded 29-horsepower engine with a 13-inch, two-bladed folding Gori prop pushed the boat at 6.5 knots. At wide-open throttle, 3,400 rpm, the average speed was 7.3 knots and the wake was clean. The boat easily spun 180 degrees in little more than a single boat length, and it maneuvered easily under power in both forward and reverse. The engine was quiet with very little vibration at either speed, only slightly noisier at the higher rpm, registering 77 decibels in the center of the main saloon and in the cockpit with the companionway open. (Conversation is about 60-70 decibels.)

Even with shoal-draft and an in-mast furling mainsail that had no vertical battens, the test boat climbed to windward well; we would expect much better performance with the deep keel version and the standard mainsail.

Tacking angles were between 90 and 94 degrees. Close-reaching with the wind 45 degrees true and a relative windspeed of 14 knots, the boat made 4.9 knots over ground. Cracking off to 50 degrees true wind angle, the speed jumped to 6.4 knots. The fastest sustained speed was 6.5 knots at 70 degrees true, in 14 knots apparent wind.

Reaching between 130 and 160 degrees off the wind, the boat averaged between 5 and 5.5 knots. Apparent windspeed off the wind was between 6 and 8 knots, perfect conditions for an asymmetrical, although our test boat was not equipped with one. Throughout the test sail, the helm was exceptionally well balanced, even off the wind, and the boat accelerated nicely in puffs.

For a new, entry-level family cruiser, the Hunter 33 has a lot going for it. The $160,000 sailaway price is attractive; the five-year warranty on the hull is transferrable. A one-year stem-to-stern warranty covers major components, including things like refrigerators and windlasses.

Our tester was impressed by the excellent use of space in a boat of this size, both belowdecks and in the cockpit. In this respect, it is a big improvement over the previous Hunter 33.

Second was its performance on the water. Even with a battenless mainsail, this was a fun boat to sail. We’d encourage a stickler for performance to opt for the full-batten main.

Two concerns, in our view, are the standard iron keel and the sail drive, but you can’t expect a company like Hunter, for which pricing is a key sales point, to fight against market trends. A lead keel is an option for the Hunter 33, and is well worth the extra $9,800, in our view.

If you are having the boat hauled annually to ensure that the keel coating remains intact and the sail drive maintenance regimen is followed, you will avoid the problems that can crop up down the road. Certainly, around-the-can racing sailors will appreciate the reduced drag of the sail drive.

Hunter has had many years to learn what its customers like, and the variety of options in this boat will appeal to a wide range of sailors. We expect it to continue to sell well in this size range, and consider it a good fit for a coastal cruising family.

2022 Invincible 33 Catamaran

• By Randy Vance
• Updated: October 12, 2021

I used to dis on catamarans. The early designs were soft-riding but wobbled over the seas like a drunken sailor. That’s all different with Invincible’s Morrelli and Melvin hull designs.

The hull-style name is a mouthful. A “hybrid semi-asymmetrical hull” applies the best characteristics of an asymmetrical catamaran with the stable-at-rest and soft-riding behavior of symmetrical cats. Yep, it’s a mouthful. To visualize an asymmetrical catamaran hull, imagine a V-bottom boat sliced longitudinally from stem to stern. Separate those two halves and you have a symmetrical cat with vertical inboard side walls and tapered outside side walls. A symmetrical cat has identical sponsons, tapered equally inboard and outboard. Blending the two styles provides turn-hugging inboard sponson side walls with wave-deflecting outside side walls. As a result, the boat makes sharp turns without awkward outboard heeling, and even in quartering seas, the sponsons stand firm in the slop. In fact, a catamaran design like this runs better in moderate chop, as if the sponsons know they have a job to do and go right to it. Top off the performance package with double steps, which break surface tension and release the hull from the water as bubble streams are introduced under the hull.

So, the ride is smooth in rough water, stable when trolling at displacement speeds, and it resists rolling in beam seas—all part of a proven formula for passenger comfort and serious fishing.

The 33 can be equipped with up to 900 hp, making a pair of Mercury Racing 450R engines top the horsepower heap. With the dual Verado 400s, we made nearly 62 mph with a 6.6-second hole shot, and a quick 11 seconds to 30 mph. I would expect nearly comparable results from Mercury’s newer V-8 300 hp platform.

Interior and Accessories

The helm station comes from Invincible’s 36, and the three-wide station seating from the 35 cat. The centered helm keeps the skipper’s mates at each elbow. The leaning-post seat is bolstered for three comfortable seating or leaning stations. A step below the helm adds comfort while standing or seated. The station itself offers massive room for dual 20-inch (or larger) screens—in our case, a 9-inch VesselView, an Icom VHF and a Fusion stereo controller. The hardtop stretches wide and aft of the leaning post, keeping the helm glare-free.

Inside the helm, there is ample room for a plumbed head, but the bonus besides storage is spacious access to the back of the instrument panel for maintenance and easy access to batteries, switches and breakers—best of all, they are logically and artfully wired.

But the 33 shines when you stop to fish.

Start with dual livewells. An oval well with a clear acrylic lid in the transom is 65 gallons, pressurized and fed from a sea chest in the starboard sponson with three pumps. There’s also a larger 65-gallon livewell belowdecks in the starboard sponson, so live-baiters can carry and coddle hundreds of baits.

The fighting cockpit is impressively spacious, taking full advantage of the 10-foot-3-inch beam. To port of the transom livewell is a pair of drawers ideal for tackle, ropes, or wash and wax supplies.

A 33 cat is ideal in size for many needs but rare as hens’ teeth on the market. Insetta makes a 35-foot cat with asymmetrical hulls. Sighting down the centerline beneath, you’ll see the vertical sponson walls, but if it’s in the water, you can’t see the hydrofoil spanning from sponson to sponson. The purpose is to give lift, reduce drag, and add stability and comfort to the on-plane ride. Topside, its beam is 5 inches wider at 10 feet, 8 inches, and though the length and beam are larger than the Invincible, somehow Invincible makes the cockpit feel larger.

The center console comes from Invincible’s 35 cat, giving the three-wide seating at the helm and mezzanine. Yet it nests in the deck, preserving wide walkways fore and aft while providing the amenities of the larger vessel.

The mezzanine seat (back of the leaning post) is three-wide, and the seating angle is designed to lean back even when the boat is on plane. Pull the seatback down, releasing the magnetic catches, and three compartments hold four more rigging drawers, three utility boxes and a tool stowage area. Not enough storage? No problem. Cabinets on the port and starboard sides of the leaning-post seat hold utility boxes, drawers and leader hangers.

Four larger fish boxes in the floor can alternatively be used for fenders. They pump out with durable “gulper” pumps instead of temperamental macerators. Two large dry lockers flank the anchor locker at the bow.

And the final jewel in the Invincible’s spaciously featured fishing and touring machine? A dual lounge sits forward of the helm, with thick cushions, deep bolsters, armrests and handy cup holders. Beneath it? You guessed it—an insulated coffin box that can be opened up for a fish box, divided for preserving iced food, or just used as dry storage.

Invincible’s great ride and spacious deck make it a formidable fishing machine, but one that casual cruisers will be eager to enjoy for long hours on the water.

How We Tested

• Engines: Dual Mercury 400 Verados
• Drive/Prop: Mercury Enertia Eco 16″ x 18″ stainless-steel propset
• Gear Ratio: 1.75:1 Fuel Load: 50 gal. Water on Board: 0 gal. Crew Weight: 600 lb.

High Points

• Forty-seven rod holders arrayed in gunwales, the transom, and the leaning post and center console.
• Mezzanine seating converts to a tackle station with spacious storage, including compartments to port and starboard of the leaning post.
• Foredeck houses an anchor locker flanked by two large storage compartments for fenders.
• Wraparound bow seating would be a nice option for added comfort.
• Side boarding door would be a nice addition to this design.
