The Hunter Passage 42 is renowned for its exceptional blend of comfort, safety, and offshore capability. Her protected center cockpit, spacious salon, well-appointed galley, and expansive aft owner’s cabin make her an outstanding choice for extended cruising or full-time liveaboard comfort. Designed with ease of handling in mind, her efficient sail plan allows for confident short-handed or family cruising.

Equally at home coastal cruising or island hopping throughout the Caribbean, she delivers the comfort and amenities of a true floating home.

Escapade II has been lovingly owned and meticulously maintained by the same owner for over two decades and represents one of the finest examples of the Hunter Passage 42 currently available on the market. A rare opportunity to acquire a proven cruising yacht in exceptional condition.
