Gulfstar Sailboats

Gulfstar Sailboats Information

Gulfstar Sailboats were introduced in 1971 in St. Petersburg, FL. The company manufactured a line of attractively priced and popular motorsailers. Gulfstar Yachts was one of the few firms to ever build both sail and powerboats, the Gulfstar line expanded dramatically over the years, and the company became one of the leading yacht manufacturers of the 1970s and 1980s. Gulfstar entered the modern motor yacht market in 1981 with the introduction of the Gulfstar 48 MY. Responding to the decline in sailboat demand, Gulfstar ended production of its sailing models in the mid 1980s and concentrated on its line of motor yachts. In 1987 the company introduced the widely acclaimed Gulfstar 55 MY—a high-tech, high-performance design that confirmed Gulfstar’s position as an industry leader in motor yacht production. Gulfstar was acquired by Viking Yachts in 1987.
