BIG 52' Yacht, AFFORDABLE Price Tag - Is She Worth It? [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

This Gulfstar 52, with an asking price of $140,000 is certainly one of the most affordable 52 foot yachts on the market. Just to be clear, when I use the term “affordable,” it’s always relative to the size and age of vessel. $140,000 is an affordable 52 footer, but a 30 footer at the same price at the same age is definitely not affordable. Affordability is always relative, so please keep that in mind. It seems that whenever I use this term there’s always a couple comments that have a problem with it.

This boat offers a ton of accommodation for a relatively smaller price than other boats of the same size and vintage, so I’ll call it affordable. I think that is this boat’s biggest strength. It’s a very livable, big yacht for not that much money up front. I could see just about anyone in the USA being able to purchase this boat and retiring to the Caribbean with an appropriate and responsible amount of working and saving beforehand.

As I stated in the video, I can see the value in this boat, but being aboard so many performance oriented vessels over the past few years has skewed my interests to the value of performance, so this boat really isn’t my cup of tea, but everyone’s taste is different so I do think this boat will provide a ton of value to the next owner.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20’s, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we’re in our 30’s. We’re not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O’day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.
