Overview
About this vessel
If you've been searching for a versatile, easy-to-handle cruising yacht that's equally at home exploring tropical islands or spending weekends on the water with family, this 2002 Hunter 260 is well worth your inspection.
Currently located at the Townsville Yacht Club, this Hunter 260 is presented in excellent condition and is only being offered for sale as the current owner is upgrading to a larger yacht.
One of the Hunter 260's standout features is its water ballast system and folding centreboard, giving you the freedom to explore places that many larger yachts simply can't access. Spend your weekends discovering Magnetic Island, the Palm Islands and Hinchinbrook, or hitch up the trailer and head south to launch into the world-famous Whitsundays. With the centreboard raised, you can nose into shallow bays, anchor closer to pristine beaches, or even allow the yacht to gently dry out on a sandy shoreline while you explore ashore before floating free again on the incoming tide.
Being a trailer sailer means you're not limited to one cruising ground. Instead of spending days sailing to your destination, you can tow the yacht to some of Australia's best cruising locations and be on the water within hours. Whether it's a long weekend in the Whitsundays or a relaxed escape around North Queensland's island groups, this Hunter 260 is built for adventure.
Easy to sail single-handed yet spacious enough for a couple or small family, the Hunter 260 offers a comfortable and forgiving platform for both experienced sailors and those looking to get into yachting.
Whether you're looking for your first yacht or an easy-to-manage cruiser for exploring Queensland's spectacular coastline, this Hunter 260 represents outstanding value. From beach camping in the Palm Islands to unforgettable holidays through the turquoise waters of the Whitsundays, this yacht is ready for its next adventure.
