2014 Grand Banks Eastbay 50 Eastbay SX

Overview

ITHAKI (name reserved) is a pristine, highly upgraded Grand Banks Eastbay 50SX. This well-pedigreed yacht is kept in true “Bristol” fashion by its fastidious owner. This yacht is fast, handles well offshore (due to the legendary C. Raymond Hunt hull design) and easy to maneuver around the docks with her joystick controls and Volvo Dynamic Positioning system. Recent upgrades include new Garmin electronics, Starlink, bow thruster, new high-end upholstery and numerous other updates.

This Eastbay 50 features the highly desirable mid-level galley featuring a large induction cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigeration, secondary deep freezer and Miele convection oven. This galley is for those who enjoy cooking meals onboard with ease. 

The beautiful teak-decked cockpit gives a wonderful opportunity for alfresco dining and relaxation with an electronic SureShade, lovely varnished teak table and an aft settee. Aft of the settee is a hydraulic swim platform for ease of dinghy deployment and retrieval. The cockpit also has three doors for ease in boarding. This lovely yacht is kept in heated indoor storage during the winter months with a well-known boatyard in CT that provides excellent service to “Ithaki”. Please delve into the pictures and specs to see why this yacht is so special.
