1988 1988 GB 36 Classic

Step aboard and you’ll feel the solid, reassuring build that made these 36 Classics legendary among serious cruisers. The side decks are generous and secure, making line handling and lock work easy even when you’re short-handed. From the flybridge, you get that unbeatable perch with excellent sightlines forward and aft, plus plenty of space to bring friends along for the ride. Below, the joinery has that warm, handcrafted character you only see on older Grand Banks, with clever storage tucked into every corner. Engine access is straightforward through the salon sole, so routine checks don’t turn into a project. It’s a boat that invites you to slow down, settle in, and actually enjoy the miles.

A GB 36 Classic is tailor‑made for the mixed conditions you’ll encounter in this region. The semi‑displacement hull is happy loafing efficiently at trawler speeds on long, calm stretches, yet has the heft and stability to stay comfortable when the afternoon breeze kicks things up. The walkaround decks and high railings make docking in tight marinas and working through busy harbor traffic much less stressful. With two private staterooms and real separation between living and sleeping spaces, it suits extended seasonal cruising or hosting guests for long weekends. Its moderate draft opens up quieter anchorages and tucked‑away channels that deeper‑keeled boats can’t reach, giving you far more options when you’re exploring new water.
