1990 Grand Banks 46 Classic

Step aboard and you’ll notice how dry and solid this hull feels underfoot, even at the dock. The wide, secure side decks and high bulwarks make line handling and anchoring feel calm and controlled rather than acrobatic. Inside, the rich teak joinery has that warm, classic Grand Banks glow, and the split-level salon gives you real separation between living, working, and sleeping spaces. Large opening windows and doors let the breeze roll straight through, so you’re not dependent on air conditioning to be comfortable. On the flybridge, there’s ample seating around the helm, with excellent sightlines fore and aft, making close-quarters maneuvering far less stressful for a cruising couple.

A Grand Banks 46 Classic really shines in these waters, where you may find yourself mixing long inter-island passages with tight, shallow approaches. The semi-displacement hull is efficient and comfortable at moderate speeds, yet capable of pushing up when you need to beat weather or current. Generous fuel and water capacities suit longer hops between marinas, and the dependable CAT diesels are well-regarded among mechanics throughout the region. The full walkaround decks, sturdy rails, and substantial ground tackle make frequent anchoring feel routine, not risky. With a bright salon, large windows, and a private aft cabin, you’re just as comfortable riding out a squall at anchor as you are enjoying a quiet sunset on the hook.
