Description

This 44 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht is one of the more popular models created by the Gulfstar Boat Yard in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and it is a popular loop traveler. With the addition of the enclosed aft deck, it has also become a highly desired model for an ideal liveaboard vessel. It has a solid FRP hull and deck, 316 grade stainless steel hardware and tackle. The walk-in engine room encloses two Caterpillar 3208 diesels and a single unit generator. 


"Broken Compass" is a spacious, well appointed aft cabin motor yacht. Her interior is roomy, with an abundance of storage areas. The woodwork and headliners are in great condition. All interior living space is air conditioned, including the flybridge. 


Current owners have invested more than $100,000 in improvements, replacements and upgrades. They were planning to take this two-time loop traveler on another journey of the “big circuit,” however plans have changed. Two notable items are new interior wood sole and an 11kW generator. Please refer to the listing specifications for more information. 


This motor yacht is ready to sail. She is a great family cruiser. There are not many of this make, year and model currently for sale.
