Few yachts bridge the gap between classic heritage and modern innovation as seamlessly as PERSISTENCE, a 2008 Eastbay 47 Flybridge that benefits from a comprehensive refit completed in 2020 at the renowned Front Street Shipyard in Maine. The result is a true collector's piece that retains the iconic Downeast lines, craftsmanship, and ride quality of the Eastbay line, yet now delivers the comfort, reliability, and technology of a modern build.
Her refit renewed and upgraded nearly every system and surface onboard, including a Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilizer, complete Garmin electronics suite at both helms, Onan 17kW generator with Auto Start, custom folding transom-mounted bench seat, Maretron tank monitoring system, and Victron inverter with full charge control and monitoring, among countless other refinements. No detail was overlooked in creating a yacht that feels as new as it looks.
Powered by twin CAT C-12 ACERT 705hp engines, Persistence delivers the exceptional ride quality this model is known for: smooth, responsive, and confident in any sea. With her thoughtful two-stateroom, two-head layout, luxurious salon, and open flybridge, she offers the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and enduring style.
The Eastbay 47 remains one of the most sought-after models Grand Banks has ever built, and this one stands firmly at the top of that class. Easily shown in Port St. Lucie, Florida, just minutes from the Grand Banks U.S. headquarters, Persistence represents a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking an Eastbay that needs nothing but a new destination.
