Solimar Boat | 41' Hunter 2005

Proven Cruiser – Exceptionally Equipped and Ready to Sail

Solimar is a beautifully outfitted 2005 Hunter 41 Aft Cockpit that has been thoughtfully upgraded and maintained by just two experienced owners. Purpose-built for both comfort and capability, she combines Hunter’s spacious, bright interior layout with serious offshore features, extensive solar power, and redundancy across all major systems.

The first owner equipped Solimar for performance and passagemaking with a Selden mast, Norlam fully-battened mainsail, free-flying staysail, stainless bowsprit, and custom stainless arch supporting davits, a watermaker, and twin 135 W solar panels.

The second (current) owner enhanced her further for self-sufficiency, adding 400 W additional solar, Starlink, and numerous system renewals from 2023 through 2025. Both owners cruised her extensively between California and Mexico—she is proven, capable, and ready to go again.

Whether you’re setting off for a Channel Islands getaway or planning a longer bluewater adventure, Solimar is ready to take you there in style, safety, and comfort.

Overview

Solimar is a 2005 Hunter 41 Aft Cockpit that has been exceptionally outfitted for blue-water cruising. She has had only two knowledgeable owners, both of whom have sailed her extensively between California and Mexico.

For extended voyaging, a heavy-duty stainless-steel arch was installed to support dinghy davits, a Katadyn watermaker, and twin 135 W solar panels.

The current owner has continued her evolution into a self-sufficient cruiser, adding an additional 400 W of solar, Starlink connectivity, and numerous system upgrades between 2023 and 2025.  Solimar is a proven and ready-to-go cruising yacht—fully equipped, meticulously maintained, and turnkey for her next adventure.
