GRAND BANKS: What's New in Miami 2005

A Grand Banks Yacht is designed and built for cruising. The long lasting and far-reaching popularity of these boats is evidence that they can be depended upon to perform as promised: to take their owners and guests securely and comfortably wherever they want to go.  Weather not cooperating? Don't worry; inside steering provides comfort and protection during those unpredictable bad weather days.

There are many, many details in the design that have proven to be invaluable to the serious cruiser. Many of these design details are from the original Grand Banks 36 and are still relevant today. Others have been incorporated into the boat as they have been developed. All have a common purpose: to make cruising easier and more enjoyable.

Once you step aboard these luxurious trawlers and handsome cruising boats, you'll find it difficult to step off.

Grand Banks Launches Swift and Stylish New Addition to the Eastbay Series - Banks 47 Eastbay FB

The Grand Banks 47 Eastbay FB was featured in the 2005 Miami show along with its predecessor, the stunning Grand Banks 58 Eastbay FB.

The latest addition to Grand Banks' Eastbay Series of yachts, this two-stateroom craft is a head-turner in every way. And, as with all Grand Banks yachts, the quality of manufacturing is apparent in every detail. The hull of the 47 Eastbay FB is solid fiberglass below the chine and cored with vacuum-bagged PVC foam in the topsides. A smooth ride and exceptional performance is always guaranteed with the authentic C. Raymond Hunt hull design. With a standard power package of twin 700 HP engines and optional engines up to 720 HP, the 47 Eastbay FB quietly enjoys top speeds exceeding 30 knots and easily cruises at 25.

Built to the exacting standards that Grand Banks owners have known for decades, this flybridge model offers elegant styling, generous standard amenities and comfortable accommodations.
