Overview

This stunning 2003 Hunter 426 is a remarkable Deck Salon (DS) yacht that combines elegance with performance and ready to go for many more adventures!  Built on the same hull as the 44 DS, this 426 has all the luxurious accommodations and ease of handling features that you would expect of this popular DS model.This is a vessel that has been well maintained, in exceptional condition and upgraded with a focus on state-of-the-art B&G electronics for ease of navigating, handling and comfort. 

With an overall length of 42 feet this monohull features a robust fiberglass hull and a shoal draft wing keel that draws 5 feet ensuring stability and agility on the water.  Her ICW friendly mast height of approximately 60 feet makes transiting thru many of the fixed bridges less stressful.  Powered by a reliable Yanmar 4JH3E diesel engine with 1825 hours and delivering 56 hp she promises a smooth and efficient sailing experience. 

Designed for both relaxation and adventure, LaVeda is perfect for cruising enthusiasts seeking a blend of style and functionality.  This yacht is equipped with essential features making it a fantastic choice for those looking to explore the open seas or traveling on the Intracoastal Waterway.  Experience the joy of sailing with LaVeda where every journey becomes a memorable adventure.  

In Feb/March 2026 S/V LaVeda received a fresh anti-fouling bottom job at the well acclaimed Anchorage Yacht Basin in Melbourne, Florida.  She was meticulously detailed (buff 'n waxed) including hull sides, cockpit and deck areas.  Prop speed was applied to the Flex-O-Fold feathering propeller prior to splashing.  

She should be on your short list and given careful consideration!
