Yacht for Sale Description:
When you think of Grand Banks hopefully beautiful interiors and classic New England lines come to mind, but these aren't the only selling point of these stellar craft. Meet the 47 Eastbay FB, a boat that offers more luxury and performance while maintaining the same dedication to quality previous generations were known for. The open fly bridge offers an exciting place to man the helm and below deck the inside is as smooth as the outside looks.
Visibility stretches to 360-degrees on the fly bridge, which features a Stidd helm seat and seating for guests. A curved staircase from the cockpit makes getting to the top helm position safe and easy, and also adds to the nice curves and graceful lines that make this boat an instant classic. The custom teak table on the fly bridge is a great place to have lunch or play cards. A comfortable settee is great for guests, and you can optionally install a hardtop if you like. Nowhere on this boat is there a place more open or fun during full throttle or pulling into a marina.
Inside the accommodations are truly gorgeous with satin finished teak everywhere. Small touches in the salon go a long way like the hidden television that hinges down from a roof panel and the custom teak and glass doors in the master head. There is an L-shaped settee and table to port and two chairs to starboard that face the hidden TV. The helm station has a large wood steering wheel and visibility is great provided by three large front windows and a host of side windows. You'll feel at home in the galley that has teak-paneled refrigerator, granite counters and other modern appliances. Light streams in from above making the galley seem like less of a dungeon, as some galley-down arrangements can be. Sleeping quarters are pristine with a master stateroom in the bow and a guest stateroom to starboard.
Falling asleep in the master cabin is easy on the queen-sized island berth. Once again teak paneling adds to the feel of luxury and it is everywhere. The private en-suite has a stand up shower enclosed by a custom teak and glass curved door and the floor is beautifully done. Guests in the other stateroom rest on two berths and share another head, but if you choose you may turn the other stateroom into an office. As most do, the settee in the salon converts to a berth in case you have unexpected guests, so sleeping arrangements are flexible and customizable to the owner's preference.
Standard engines are two 670 hp diesels, which easily propel the boat to thirty knots. The modified deep-V hull is designed to be efficient and respond well in rough seas. Particular attention has been paid to safety here, and you'll find numerous grab rails, wide decks and other safety systems in place to help you feel secure on the water. All of the windows are bonded and frameless, reducing the chances of leaks and improving the aesthetic appeal of the exterior. In short, its beauty does not mask an otherwise unseaworthy boat. The 47 Eastbay FG is engineered to ride as beautifully as she looks.
Grand Banks has taken one of its classics and added a fly bridge creating a New England style yacht with fun and style throughout. On the inside it is one of the most stunning boats you may see. Beneath her looks is a hull and living quarters that promise to wrap owners and guests in comfort and luxury. Everything that you see is handcrafted with love and it shows. Just a few minutes onboard and you may never be able to look at other boats again.
