45' Gulfstar Hirsch 45

The Gulfstar Hirsch 45 Halcyon is a proven bluewater cruising yacht thoughtfully equipped for comfortable long-range living and offshore passagemaking. Designed as a spacious 2-cabin, 2-head center cockpit cruiser, she offers an exceptionally comfortable layout with a large aft owners stateroom featuring a walkaround queen berth, private ensuite head with separate shower, abundant storage, and excellent ventilation throughout. Forward, a generous guest cabin and second head provide ideal accommodations for family or guests, while the warm teak interior creates a classic and inviting liveaboard atmosphere.

Over the past five years, Halcyon has cruised extensively throughout the Caribbean with her current owners and has benefited from numerous upgrades and careful maintenance. Her rebuilt Perkins 4108 diesel engine (2022) delivers economical cruising at less than half a gallon per hour, while upgraded electrical systems include 680 watts of solar, Victron inverter and monitoring systems, AGM battery banks, and a quiet-run generator for extended off-grid capability. New standing and running rigging installed in 2022, along with a versatile sail inventory including gennaker and storm sail, make her well suited for offshore cruising.

Halcyon is equally manageable for a couple or solo sailor and is known for her smooth, stable motion underway. Deck equipment includes a robust ground tackle setup with a 75lb Mantis anchor and new chain, Mur windlass, dinghy davits, cockpit enclosure, bow shade awning with rain catchment, and extensive safety gear. Electronics include Garmin chartplotter, Raymarine autopilot with remote, dual-station VHF, Bluetooth stereo, and full navigation lighting.

Storage aboard is exceptional, with ample space beneath the sole, under berths, behind seating, and throughout numerous lockers and cabinets, making extended cruising practical and comfortable. Included onboard are comprehensive maintenance records, manuals, spare parts, tools, and receipts documenting her restoration and upgrades.
