C. Raymond Hunt Associates is a world-renowned naval architecture firm that has been at the forefront of the industry since its inception. With a history dating back to 1960, C. Raymond Hunt Associates has become synonymous with innovation, design, and quality. The firm’s founder, Ray Hunt, was responsible for pioneering the Hunt deep-V hullform, which has become a staple in naval architecture.
One of the most notable examples of a C. Raymond Hunt-designed yacht currently on the market is the SEA BOLD, a 96′ Custom Ray Hat built in 2003 and refit in 2020. This stunning vessel was designed with the famous Ray Hunt Deep V hull, which enables high-speed runs to the Bahamas. SEA BOLD’s traditional New England profile includes a beautiful air-conditioned fully enclosed flybridge, and her interior design is bright and open with continuous views from the aft salon door all the way to the forward windows over the owner’s office. Accommodations include 4 staterooms sleeping 8 guests and 2 crew cabins sleeping 4. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3412E 1440hp and Alaska Northern Lights generators, she has never been chartered and is only used privately. SEA BOLD is in immaculate condition and is the perfect vessel for those seeking a luxurious and high-performing yacht.
Another stunning vessel on the market that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates is the QUEEN BEE 2, an 80′ Hunt delivered in 2018. QUEEN BEE 2 is part of Hunt Yacht’s Ocean Series and is an exceptional vessel for those who want to adventure offshore regularly. With a deep Vee hull shape, QUEEN BEE 2 can cruise at 22 knots while staying comfortable. Built in 2016, she keeps her classic styling with added modern touches. QUEEN BEE 2 can accommodate up to 7 guests in 4 staterooms and features a BBQ on the flybridge, a large sundeck, and updated entertainment equipment in the guest areas.
C. Raymond Hunt Associates has more years of experience in the refinement of the Hunt deep-V hullform than any other naval architecture firm. The Hunt deep-V hullform is the most widely used and ocean-proven solution afloat for performance, seakindliness, and comfort. This innovative hullform is used in diverse applications such as outboard-powered fishing boats, high-speed cruisers and motoryachts, police, patrol and pilot boats, military as well as commercial vessels. With a C. Raymond Hunt-designed yacht, you can be sure that you are investing in a vessel that has been designed with the utmost care and precision.
