Hunton is a well-respected name in the boating world, originating in the United Kingdom and still proudly preserving its British heritage. The company was founded by Jeff Hunton in 1979 who was a dedicated racing driver, known for his strategic thinking and mathematical skills. Jeff leveraged these abilities to design high-performance boats, the first of which was created in his garage. He combined innovative design principles with a deep understanding of hydrodynamics to provide a unique proposition in the market.
Over the past four decades, Hunton has built an impressive reputation for handcrafted, high-performance luxury yachts. In 2011, Hunton moved its operations to Shalfleet, on the Isle of Wight, in order to expand production capabilities. This location only adds to the company's strong British identity, enabling it to deliver not just superior performance and innovative design, but also the refinement and comfort that distinguishes British craftsmanship.
In recent years, Hunton has continued to expand its operations, remaining true to its core ethos of excellence in design and build quality. The company is still based on the Isle of Wight, a testament to its commitment to British craftsmanship, and is considered one of the finest manufacturers of luxury performance yachts globally. Drawing on its British heritage and utilising some of the most skilled craftsmen in the country, Hunton continues to set the benchmark in the world of high-performance luxury boating.
