Freshly delivered to Tidein is the 2022 Sea Hunt Ultra 229 with less than 340 hours. From the moment you step aboard, it’s clear this boat has been lightly used and well cared for. The overall condition is impressive, with clean lines, minimal wear, and details that suggest it spent more time being enjoyed casually than heavily fished. Even the livewells appear nearly untouched, looking as though they’ve hardly seen seawater.
Aesthetically, this boat stands out in all the right ways. The ever-popular sea foam green hull perfectly captures the Florida lifestyle—it’s sharp, clean, and forgiving when it comes to everyday use. Lighter colors like this not only look great at the dock but also help minimize the appearance of scuffs or minor imperfections over time.
As you board, one of the first things you notice is the height of the gunwales. They provide a sense of security that immediately inspires confidence, especially for families or those bringing kids on board. The boat feels solid, safe, and well-built—exactly what you want whether you’re running across open water or anchored up at the sandbar.
Seating is one area where the Ultra 229 truly shines. The large bench seat at the stern comfortably fits three passengers, making it perfect for cruising or relaxing between fishing spots. Up front, the bow features an oversized seating area with plush cushions and wraparound bolsters, creating a comfortable lounge space. Removable backrests and integrated cup holders make it easy to transition from fishing mode to relaxation mode in seconds.
Additional seating at the console doubles as a livewell, offering both functionality and comfort. It’s a smart use of space that allows one or two passengers to sit comfortably while still maintaining the boat’s fishing capabilities. Behind the helm, the aluminum leaning post with flip-up bolsters gives the operator flexibility—sit back and cruise or stand and lean while navigating rougher conditions.
When it comes to ride quality, the Sea Hunt Ultra 229 delivers far beyond expectations for a boat in this class. Its Variable Degree Stepped Deadrise hull is designed with three distinct angles to balance performance and comfort. The sharp 55-degree entry cuts cleanly through chop, reducing impact and keeping the ride smooth. The 22-degree midship section enhances handling, while the 18-degree stern provides excellent stability at rest and while trolling. With a shallow 13-inch draft, this boat is equally at home in skinny water or cruising deeper channels.
Paired with Bennett trim tabs, the ride becomes even more refined. These allow you to adjust the boat’s attitude on the fly, keeping it level and comfortable even when conditions get rough or weight distribution changes. It’s a feature that both experienced boaters and newcomers will appreciate.
Powering the Ultra 229 is a Yamaha 250 with a performance tune, delivering strong, reliable performance. The boat jumps on plane with ease and cruises comfortably around 35 miles per hour, giving you the speed and efficiency to cover water quickly without sacrificing control.
For anglers, this boat is more than capable. It offers the space, layout, and features needed to fish effectively, whether you’re targeting inshore species or heading just offshore. But what truly sets the Ultra 229 apart is its ability to double as a family-friendly platform.
This is where the boat really shines. It’s not just built for fishing—it’s built for making memories. The spacious seating, smooth ride, onboard head, and thoughtful layout make it ideal for family days on the water. Whether you’re cruising the bay, heading to the sandbar, or enjoying a sunset ride, everyone on board will be comfortable and secure.
At the same time, serious fishermen will appreciate the clean cockpit, livewell setup, and performance capabilities that allow them to fish with confidence. It’s a rare combination—one boat that genuinely satisfies both worlds without compromise.
The 2022 Sea Hunt Ultra 229 is the definition of versatility. It’s clean, capable, and ready for whatever the day brings—whether that’s chasing fish at first light or spending a laid-back afternoon with family on the water.
