Description
Experience timeless elegance with this well-cared-for 1996 Gulf Craft Ambassador 55. Measuring 16.76 meters in length with a beam of 4.72 meters, this semi-displacement yacht offers a compelling blend of comfort and performance. Now approaching three decades, she proudly shows some signs of her age despite extensive upgrades completed in late 2023 and early 2024. While still in great running condition and structurally sound, she would benefit from a series of minor repairs and cosmetic touch-ups to bring out her full potential.
Her spacious interior layout provides luxurious accommodations, making her ideal for extended voyages or relaxing weekend escapes. With a generous fuel capacity of approximately 2,650 liters and a freshwater tank holding around 378 liters, she’s well-suited for long-distance cruising. The flybridge offers panoramic views, perfect for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the open sea.
This Ambassador 55 is more than just a yacht—she’s a classic that reflects enduring design and craftsmanship, now ready for a new owner to continue her journey and add the finishing touches she deserves.
