Marlow-Hunter

Marlow-Hunter, the modern evolution of the iconic Hunter Marine brand founded in 1973 by Warren Luhrs, is a leading American sailboat manufacturer based in Alachua, Florida, renowned for producing innovative, high-volume cruising sailboats that blend performance, comfort, and value. Acquired by luxury yacht builder David Marlow in 2012 following Hunter’s bankruptcy, the company rebranded and elevated quality through vacuum-infused hulls, Kevlar reinforcement, and premium features like the signature arch-mounted traveler and self-tacking jibs. With a current lineup of five models from 33 to 50 feet, Marlow-Hunter continues to deliver family-friendly, shorthanded sailboats that prioritize spacious interiors, ease of handling, and modern construction—earning a loyal global following among coastal cruisers and liveaboards.
