An excellent opportunity to acquire a Hunter 260, a highly versatile and easy-to-own sailing yacht, ideal for first-time buyers, families, or those looking for an affordable and practical coastal cruiser.

Designed with simplicity and enjoyment in mind, the Hunter 260 offers impressive interior space for her size, combined with forgiving handling and flexible sailing capabilities.

The Hunter 260 features a bright, open-plan interior with:

• Up to 6 berths
