Grand Banks 49 Classic Walkthrough
Boarding begins at the teak swim platform, where a transom gate leads directly into the aft deck. From here, wide and secure side decks guide you forward on either side, offering excellent footing and handholds — classic Grand Banks practicality at its best. To port, two steps lead up to the trunk cabin and flybridge access, while continuing forward brings you to either of the salon’s side deck entry doors.
Entering through the port salon door, the layout immediately feels intuitive and welcoming. Aft to port sits the entertainment center with a built-in bench seat, while the companionway to the full-beam master stateroom is tucked discreetly aft. To starboard, wrap-around seating surrounds a teak table, creating a comfortable gathering space that feels equally suited for casual evenings or formal dining. Forward to starboard you’ll find an icemaker cabinet, a second side deck door, and the lower helm, while the galley is positioned forward to port — open, functional, and well integrated into the salon.
Moving forward and down a few steps brings you to the guest accommodations. To starboard is the guest head with a tub/shower, across from the port guest stateroom. Continuing forward leads to the forward guest stateroom, completing a layout that offers privacy, comfort, and excellent separation between owner and guest spaces.
Headroom is impressive throughout, with approximately 6’8” in the salon, nearly 7’ in the forward guest stateroom, and a full 7’ in the master stateroom — a detail that matters during extended stays aboard.
