Broker's Comments

We are delighted to be advertising this Grand Banks 32 Classic trawler style motor cruiser, known for their practicality and style. This version was one of the first of the GRP hulls built.

These boats are spacious throughout due to their beam. The exterior provides wide and deep side decks, good foredeck access and plenty of cockpit space, with a safe feel when moving around. Plenty of room on the flybridge, with back to back seating, 360 views and sunbathing space. The cockpit also provides a great area for fishing, diving, entertaining, or stowage.

The interior deck saloon felt spacious and light, with good headroom throughout and lovely wooden cupboards and flooring. The L shaped saloon has plenty of seating, which also converts into a double berth and two bunks, if required. Forward, the galley provides space to prepare meals on passage, or when entertaining and with a well equipped interior helm position, perfect for all weathers.

The private forward cabin has a large double berth, plenty of storage space including a hanging locker and drawers, with a separate ensuite head with shower.

Following the current owner's survey, the recommendations were completed and a small amount of ongoing work is being completed, The battery management system has also been upgraded, as detailed in the listing.

Please contact our Boatshed Team and we would be delighted to help with any enquiries you may have.
