She is currently sailing in the Caribbean
This Hunter 420 Passage was a freshwater boat on the Great Lakes prior to being purchased by the current owners in May 2022. This sailboat was winterized and wrapped in the off-season for 6 months each year, contributing to her excellent condition.
The current owners updated several systems, including solar and lithium batteries to make this Hunter 420 Passage a comfortable liveaboard sailboat. This sailboat is currently available for sale in the Caribbean, as the owners have become new grandparents and need to end their sailing adventure after two years and many miles under the keel.
This Hunter 420 Passage Center Cockpit has been meticulously maintained and cleaned. She is in move-in condition and the sale includes everything you need to start living the cruising dream.

Owners Note
Living aboard our Hunter 420 sailboat has been an experience that combines the essence of adventure with the comforts of home. Inside, the well designed living space, ample storage, and the large aft cabin make it feel like living in a house. The queen-sized bed with clearance on both sides offers a cozy retreat after a day of sailing. With the luxurious headroom we can even sit up in bed to read or watch movies at night and during rainy days on anchor. Having two cabins with their own heads has allowed us to both work remotely without interrupting each other or disturbing each other's zoom meetings.
The outdoor deck space between the cockpit and the stern has served us for both solitude as well as for social gatherings. Mornings often find us there, drinking coffee while watching the sunrise, or practicing yoga. This large space also means that Sail La Vie is often chosen by our friend boats as the place to hold dinner gatherings and anchor drams. It also provides a lovely space for stargazing or sun tanning.
With all these comforts, Sail La Vie is also a darn good sailing vessel. The sail plan is simple but effective, with a 100% Genoa and in-mast Furling Main. All lines are routed into the cockpit so we have rarely had to leave the cockpit while underway. The feathering prop has been an eye-opener for us. Not only does it allow for about an extra knot of speed while feathered, but it also means that the boat has almost no prop walk.
All these features have meant that the Hunter 420 Passage has been the perfect liveaboard and cruising boat for us, taking us from Lake Michigan to the Caribbean in comfort and safety. Sail La Vie is more than a boat, she is a home on the water, and a reminder of the limitless adventure that awaits when we dare to set sail.
The incredibly successful Passage 450 - and now the Passage 420 - have been designed and engineered to reflect the years of knowledge gained through the owners, focus groups, Consumer Satisfaction Surveys, a world-class dealer organization, and the continued dedication of Warren Luhrs and his Hunter Design Team. The Passage 420 mirrors the innovations that have evolved throughout the Hunter line. Special features such as the B & R rig, integrated cockpit arch, mast struts, and composite chainplates are all present on the 420. Center cockpits are not usually known for performing, but the Passage 420 surprisingly breaks the rules. Below, the innovation continues with a great salon complete with convertible dinette and opposing settee - both loaded with storage capability. The highly polished teak dining table complements the rich fabrics and durable Corian. Television, VCR, and AM-FM stereo with CD will keep the crew entertained while the chef prepares in the enormous galley. Side by side dual opening refrigerator and freezer, three burner gimbaled range with oven, microwave, and twin stainless sinks - not to mention a hidden trash receptacle - are included. The navigation station opposite the galley houses the controls to all the ship's systems and allows space for all navigational electronics as well. Comfort is important at Hunter, and the staterooms aboard the 420 are no exception. Aft, there is an island, queen-sized berth with an inner-spring mattress that is flanked by hanging wardrobes, and drawers large enough for long term liveaboards. Even a slide-out desk is included. The private en suite head features plenty of storage, beautiful Corian covered vanity, and a shower. Forward, the guest stateroom with its double berth and private head with shower will please family or friends. Spacious and comfortable, this stateroom also boasts immense storage and plenty of natural light and ventilation.
