A Legacy of Excellence in Yacht Design
The Gulfstar 49 represents the pinnacle of classic motor yacht design, combining timeless aesthetics with exceptional functionality. Built during Gulfstar's "Golden Era" of the early to mid-1980s, this vessel showcases the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
What truly sets the Gulfstar 49 apart is its remarkable interior volume. Despite its sub-50-foot length, it offers living spaces and comfort typically found only in much larger yachts. The intelligent layout makes full use of the available space, providing generous staterooms, a spacious salon, and well-appointed galley.
Each Gulfstar 49 features hand-laid fiberglass construction, premium teak woodwork, and high-quality marine systems that have stood the test of time. Whether for coastal cruising or extended voyages, the Gulfstar 49 delivers both reliability and comfort in an elegant package.

Crafted for those who demand excellence in every detail
With its elegant lines and silhouette, the Gulfstar 49 honors a legacy of traditional motor yacht design. This timeless style encloses a surprisingly spacious interior, offering a level of comfort and roominess that redefines what's possible in a boat under 50 feet.
The early to mid-80s marked Gulfstar's "Golden Era" of production, defined by a significant improvement in build quality. Vessels from this period were constructed with hand-laid fiberglass, superior interior joinery, and impeccable teak woodwork, while the use of high-quality components like bronze seacocks further demonstrated the brand's attention to detail.
Founded in the 1970s by Vince Lazzara in the Tampa Bay area, Gulfstar Yachts began by producing popular motorsailers and trawlers. The company's reputation for quality significantly grew through the early to mid-1980s. Gulfstar was eventually purchased by Viking Yachts in 1990.
