Hunter 54
Description
The Hunter 54 is the largest and most advanced sailboat ever built by Marlow-Hunter. Launched in late 2023 and first delivered in 2024, it replaces the Hunter 50 (2009–2019) as the flagship of the range. Designed by Glenn Henderson in collaboration with the David Marlow design team, it combines Hunter’s traditional emphasis on spacious, light-filled interiors with significantly improved performance, build quality, and luxury finishes expected in the 50–55 ft premium cruiser segment. Production began in 2024 at the Marlow-Hunter facility in Alachua, Florida. As of November 2025, fewer than 30 hulls have been delivered, with new orders typically quoting 12–18 months for delivery.
