2014 Grand Banks 46 Eastbay SX

INTRODUCTION:

Step aboard this beautifully appointed Grand Banks 46 Eastbay SX and you'll immediately notice she's designed for effortless cruising and refined comfort. Her sought-after galley-down layout creates a spacious, open salon above, while below you'll find two elegant staterooms-each with its own private en suite head and separate stall shower-offering both privacy and convenience for you and your guests.

She's been thoughtfully upgraded for modern boating, including an AB 11' aluminum RIB/30hp Yamaha combo paired with a Freedom lift for easy launching, plus a generously sized utility room complete with an extra refrigeration capacity. Entertaining is a breeze thanks to a custom cockpit bimini and reliable Raymarine electronics guiding every journey. Throughout the yacht, the rich teak and holly varnished sole adds a timeless, luxurious feel underfoot.

The salon is a standout space-bright, inviting, and cleverly designed. A dagger opening aft window opens to create a seamless pass-through to the cockpit, perfect for social gatherings. Curved aft windows on both sides adjacent to lush seating includes a large U-shaped settee with a versatile table to port and a straight settee to starboard, all with abundant hidden storage. A beautifully crafted teak cabinet conceals a Samsung flatscreen TV that rises smoothly at the touch of a button. At the helm, a premium STIDD helmchair sits to starboard, complemented by a double companion seat and chart locker opposite. Custom blinds add a polished finishing touch throughout.

A few steps down, the U-shaped galley is both stylish and functional, featuring granite countertops with splashguards, an LP range, refrigerator drawers, a top-loading freezer, and a large stainless steel sink with a pull-out spray faucet. Storage is plentiful, with well-designed drawers and overhead lockers.

One of her most impressive features is the expansive utility room, cleverly tucked beneath the companionway stairs. Here you'll find additional refrigeration, and ample storage-ideal for extended cruising.

Forward, the master stateroom offers a serene retreat with an island queen centerline berth, cedar-lined hanging lockers, and abundant storage. The private en suite head includes a separate stall shower for added comfort. To starboard, the guest stateroom features twin side-by-side berths with individual reading lights, a cedar-lined hanging locker, and built-in drawer storage. The guest head, also with a stall shower, conveniently doubles as a day head with access from the companionway.
