This 2003 Grady-White 330 Express has benefited from an extensive list of upgrades and improvements, including a 2021 Yamaha F300 repower, updated Garmin electronics, bow thruster, tower, recent upholstery, newer air conditioning, and much more.
Powered by twin 2021 Yamaha F300XAs with approximately 515 hours, the boat was repowered in 2021 and has been recently serviced. She also has fresh bottom paint and has been continually updated by her current owner.
For the serious offshore fisherman, she is rigged with a tower, Rupp double-spreader outriggers, and a Rupp center rigger. Electronics were updated in 2019 and include three Garmin displays-two at the main helm and one in the tower-closed-array radar, and Simrad autopilot.
A bow thruster makes handling this 33-footer around the dock considerably easier.
The updates extend well beyond the helm. Recent improvements include new upholstery, new Dometic air conditioning, new VacuFlush toilet, newer battery charger, and a new helm cover.

Grady-White EXPRESS 330: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Grady White Express 330 is a versatile vessel designed to cater to both offshore fishing enthusiasts and families seeking comfortable weekend cruising. It combines a rich heritage of fishing boat design with thoughtful accommodations and features that support both sportfishing and leisure activities.
Fishing Features and Cockpit Design
The Express 330 offers an expansive 80 square feet of open cockpit space, providing ample room for anglers to maneuver while fighting fish. The transom houses a 254-quart fish locker equipped with chilled plates surrounding its exterior to maximize capacity without intrusion. Additionally, a second chilled storage box is located under the port seat adjacent to the helm, with controls for both cockpit coolers conveniently positioned inside the companionway. Practical amenities include fresh and raw water washdowns beneath the port bowl works, holders for downrigger weights, rod storage, and sturdy tow rails. Forward in the cockpit, a 45-gallon livewell with a blue interior and rounded edges is aerated to minimize shock to the catch, with lure and tool holders situated underneath. The fishing setup is further enhanced by flush-mounted rod holders on both port and starboard cap rails, three rocket launchers integrated into the hardtop supports, outriggers mounted above, and spreader lights installed beneath the hardtop for nighttime operations.
Helm Deck and Social Areas
The helm deck is designed with comfort and visibility in mind. On the port side, seating is exceptionally comfortable with excellent forward visibility, complemented by a grab handle, drink holders, and a flip-down footrest. Opposite this, the starboard seating offers a comfortable, though slightly less luxurious, option. The layout facilitates social interaction with opposing seats and easy access via a four-step reboarding ladder and outward-opening gate. Just inside the gate, a hot and cold shower is conveniently located. At the aft end of the cockpit, a standard bench seat is installed, with options to add two additional seats on either side. Bolsters range from 19 to 28 inches in height, enhancing comfort. On the port side, optional features include a grill and a cockpit refrigerator, supporting extended stays and entertaining.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the Express 330 comfortably accommodates two couples for overnight stays. The galley area provides six feet, two inches of headroom and features ample storage with doors designed to prevent slamming. It includes a double burner electric stove, a single basin sink with a pull-out sprayer, and additional storage beneath. A refrigerator freezer and microwave oven support food preparation, while entertainment is provided by a Fusion stereo DVD player and a 19-inch flat screen TV mounted on a swivel. The seating area wraps around a solid wood table, comfortably seating up to three people, and includes cargo net storage and other innovative storage solutions.
Private Accommodations
The forward berth measures six feet, three inches in length and six feet in width at its widest point, with a headroom of two feet, seven inches. Dual hatches above provide natural light and ventilation, each fitted with blackout shades and bug screens. To starboard, a wet head offers six feet of overhead clearance, a full-length mirror on the door, and a sink with a pull-out sprayer mounted on a sliding bracket. The Corian countertop features a raised edge for practicality. The mid-cabin, while somewhat tight to access, is functional and comfortable, measuring six feet, six inches long by four feet, three inches wide, with 30 inches of headroom. It includes rope lighting, a privacy curtain, and a reading light, enhancing the livability of the space.
Conclusion
The Grady White Express 330 successfully blends the needs of the serious offshore fisherman with those of families seeking a comfortable and entertaining cruising experience. Its thoughtful design, ample fishing amenities, and well-appointed interior make it a capable and versatile boat suitable for a variety of boating activities.
