This impressive Gulfstar 45 center-cockpit has just arrived to Rio Dulce, Guatemala on 23 April, 2026, and has been cruising full-time since late 2025, providing the owners with happy experiences of the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, and Belize! Thoughtfully maintained and improved, ready to go again -- it's your turn!
This excellent cruising yacht is already conveniently located in one of the finest cruising areas possible: the pristine Western Caribbean! Currently in the beautiful Rio Dulce of Guatemala for hurricane season, same-day cruising from the Rio can have you snorkeling or diving the world’s 2nd largest barrier reef – Belize it! Or, it’s just an overnighter away to experience the Bay Islands of Honduras (Utila, Roatan, Guanaja). Farther voyages can have you enjoying Mexico, Jamaica, Caymans, and Panama before returning to the Rio sanctuary year after year, as countless cruisers do. Great Yacht, Great Location… it’s time to have fun!!
