50' Gulfstar 50 CC Ketch

The 1980 Gulfstar 50 CC Ketch is one of the most respected boats Gulfstar ever built. "Magic Dragon" is a classic bluewater cruising yacht designed by renowned yacht designer Vince Lazzara and widely regarded as one of the finest sailboats Gulfstar ever produced. Built with long-range cruising, liveaboard comfort, and offshore capability in mind, the Gulfstar 50 offers exceptional accommodations, a spacious center cockpit layout, and proven passagemaking performance.

Her center cockpit provides excellent visibility and protection underway, while the versatile ketch rig makes sail handling manageable for a cruising couple. The large aft owner's stateroom, expansive salon, multiple guest accommodations, and generous tankage make her equally suited for coastal cruising, the Great Loop, Bahamas adventures, or full-time liveaboard life. Recent upgrades include modern navigation electronics at the helm and a Yanmar diesel auxiliary. "Magic Dragon" presents as a vessel with solid cruising potential and has benefited from owner updates while still offering opportunities for cosmetic modernization and personalization.

Many owners consider it an excellent value in the 50-foot cruising market.

Whether you're searching for a comfortable liveaboard, an affordable offshore cruiser, or a capable East Coast and Caribbean voyager, the Gulfstar 50 represents tremendous value in a proven cruising platform. There is a Highfield Ultra Lite dinghy with Tohatsu 15 hp outboard which is negotiable.
