Yes. The longest-lived hurricane in the Atlantic basin was the 1899 San Ciriaco Hurricane, which was tracked for 32 days. It was not a hurricane during that whole time, of course; its intensity varied as it drifted in the North Atlantic. After three weeks, it had become extratropical but then drifted southward and became a tropical storm again and even regained hurricane status. It almost made a complete circuit around the North Atlantic.
