Hunt made another Down East-inspired beauty when they popped the first 44 out of the mold. Based on the successful Hunt 52, the 44’s classic color scheme, traditional lines, and smooth-running hull make this cruiser look an instant classic.

The main saloon of the Hunt 44 has everything a cruiser could want: Plenty of room for dining, a commanding Stidd double helm seat with companion Stidd helm seat opposite, plenty of windows for natural light and fresh air, and space to kick back and enjoy a good book or a better conversation.

Stand up paddleboarding in the waters off Maine. A great way to: A) get some good exercise, B) take in the sights of Monhegan Island, C) get a severe case of hypothermia when you fall off and land in the water (even in the summer). Seriously ladies, be careful.

The Island Inn is seen in the background, overlooking the harbor. The building was originally built in 1816 and expanded twice to accommodate more visitors—the last renovation was made in 1910. The Inn’s front porch faces west over Monehgan harbor, making it an ideal place to take in the sunset.
