50' Gulfstar 50

1980 Gulfstar 50 "Defiant"
"Defiant" is a classic, blue-water cruising ketch designed by Vince & Richard Lazarra. Known for her robust construction and beautiful lines, this center-cockpit vessel is a favorite among live-aboards and long-distance cruisers.
The standout feature of this Gulfstar 50 is the exceptional 6'8" headroom, creating one of the most open and airy interiors you will find in a 50-foot sailboat. Currently located in La Paz, Mexico, "Defiant" is ideally positioned for immediate exploration of the Sea of Cortez or for heading further south.
The layout features two private staterooms and two heads, providing excellent privacy for guests or families. The aft master stateroom includes its own private companionway and a queen-sized bed. Whether you are looking for a comfortable home on the water or a capable vessel for ocean crossings, this boat is equipped and ready. This is an estate sale and represents an incredible opportunity to own a legend of the cruising world.
