DUET

Accommodations and walkthrough

The Hunter 44DS feature spacious accommodations generally seen only in much larger vessels. The raised house and large window give the yacht a bright open and airy feeling.

The main salon has a large settee to port that can easily seat six and a convertible dinette table that provides an oversized double berth. Opposite to starboard is an oversized double settee and the navigation station is adjacent just aft.

Aft to port just opposite the nav. station is the seagoing galley facing forward yet very convenient to the companionway where serving a hungry crew in the cockpit is close at hand. The galley features a large stainless steel refrigerator and a separate large stainless steel freezer. There is abundant storage in a large pantry and a unique ventilated dish drying cabinet. Cooking is done on a three burner LPG stove with an oven and broiler as well as a microwave convection oven.

The master stateroom is aft and it features a queen centerline berth with innerspring mattress and a bedding package. There is a settee and bookshelf / library to port and an illuminated mirrored vanity with Corian countertop is just forward. Opposite to starboard is a storage cabinet with additional storage compartments and a large cedar lined hanging locker to provide exceptional storage space for the long-range cruiser. Ventilation and natural lighting is provided by 3 ports and 1 hatch. A convenient custom shelf has been added on the starboard side which increases useful storage in the master stateroom. The master stateroom has direct access into a large head with a separate stall shower.

Forward is the spacious private forward guest cabin with a large V-berth, large hanging locker, lockers outboard, and just aft a large en-suite head compartment with a mirrored and lighted vanity and a separate stall shower.

The engine is below the companionway steps which makes maintenance of the engine a breeze. The aft lazarettes are spacious and deep. This is truly a cruising yacht with storage everywhere in a wonderful two cabin two head layout.
