Description

A rare offering, this 1986 Gulfstar Sailcruiser 54 is one of just 23 built and stands out as a true bluewater liveaboard. Her raised deck saloon design provides panoramic views and a bright, welcoming interior, making her equally suited for extended voyages or comfortable full-time living. With a shallow draft of just 4’11”, she easily explores the Bahamas, Florida Keys, and Mediterranean waters. Purpose-built for serious passage making, she carries twin Yanmar 66HP engines for maneuverability and redundancy at sea. Her 50,000 lb displacement, skeg-hung rudder, and versatile ketch rig combine strength, stability, and control offshore. Notable upgrades include a 2020 mainsail, 2019 rigging, 8kVA Onan generator, bow thruster, solar power, and a custom 120L watermaker (partial assembly required). A full B&G navigation suite with radar, chartplotter, and autopilot enhances safety on long passages.
