Custom built Bimini with 800 watts of solar is the envy of all Grand Banks owners. Perhaps most importantly, the Naiad stabilizer system makes this boat every bit as comfortable at sea as a sailing catamaran. The boat rides stable and without roll, even in serious beam seas.

Our favorite Grand Banks feature is the top deck. Sitting high above the water with commanding views of everything around. Whether at anchor or out at sea it is where I spend the majority of my time. The helm station gives unobstructed views of every corner of the boat, making docking incredibly easy with the twin engines. Underway, the Simrad autopilot handles the steering, while the Glendenning synchronizer keeps the engine RPMs matched perfectly for maximum performance. Raymarine instruments give you all the info you need, from depth, to speed, to wind.

The Ideal windlass, with its motor rebuilt in 2019, can handle anchoring from a switch at the helm, or from the foot pedals at the locker. The 65# Mantus and 300′ of chain make getting a good bite on the first try easy, every time. A spare anchor is stored conveniently nearby.

The dinghy is stored on deck, and easily put in and taken out of the water by one person using the electric winch (rebuilt motor 2019) on the boom. This is so much better than davits. The dinghy storage was factory designed, so it fits perfectly and is ultra secure. The motor is a brand new (2021) Yamaha 15hp 2-stroke and does not ever have to be removed from the dinghy. At anchor, the dinghy can be lifted up out of the water and left securely hanging off the side of the boat, providing peace of mind that it will be there in the morning.

The living space is what has made the Grand Banks such a perfect home on the water. First off, it’s just beautiful to look at. Nobody steps on this boat without staring in awe at the woodwork. It’s also a huge space, which easily accommodates a family with a ton of seating options. Storage is everywhere you look. There isn’t a space wasted on this boat. And seriously, if you want to really feel like you are a part of nature, the banks of windows all around will do that for you.

When the weather is ugly, there is a full helm station inside to steer from. It’s also an incredibly comfy chair to kick back and watch the miles go by.

Again, storage is everywhere. Big sink, three-burner stove, oven, two large refrigerators, and lots of counter space round out a great galley.

We originally wanted to buy a catamaran. The cost of a cat was triple. We didn't have the cost and worry of sails and rigging. We found that the catamarans were not as sturdy as the Grand Banks . Most our sailing friends MOTOR 90% of the time here in the Caribbean. And the money we saved in the purchase we can put towards diesel for years. This was the PERFECT boat for the Caribbean and for the states. Great boat for the GREAT LOOP as it fits under the bridges with the boom down. It made it an affordable entry boat into the world of cruising . The livability is second to none.

So if you cruise the Caribbean or cruise anywhere on the east coast this is the boat for you! Fantastic full time boat!
