Gulfstar sailboats are known for quality and performance. This Gulfstar 44ft ketch is no exception. Sunshine ii has been sailed extensively though out the Caribbean for many years. She is fully equipped. Including Watermaker and generator. However, the batteries need replacing and as such this is reflected in the price. With a little TLC and love the boat is a great opportunity to own a good sized cruising boat ideal for the Caribbean and beyond. Offers welcome.
