2003 Grand Banks 46 Europa

The flybridge offers a second helm station along with generous additional seating, all benefiting from the commanding, high-visibility vantage point characteristic of the GB Heritage Series.

The single-level main deck seamlessly connects the expansive salon with the covered aft cockpit through sliding, wood-framed glass doors, creating a spacious indoor-outdoor living environment. Large panoramic windows surround the salon, filling the interior with natural light and providing excellent visibility in all directions.

Inside, the yacht showcases Grand Banks' renowned craftsmanship, with rich handcrafted teak joinery, fine cabinetry, and teak-and-holly sole throughout. The two-stateroom, two-head layout features a forward master stateroom, an amidships guest stateroom with twin berths to port, two full heads, and a convenient galley-up arrangement integrated into the main salon and lower helm station.

The engine room provides approximately five feet of standing headroom and is exceptionally well-lit and ventilated, offering excellent access to the twin Caterpillar diesel engines and mechanical systems. Exceptional in this yacht is the AquaDrive system which reduces vibration, enhances life of the transmissions and tolerates less than perfect engine alignment. Driven by Stainless Steel shafts and propellors with maneuvering enhanced with bow and stern thrusters, she is a simple reliable yacht easily managed. 

Designed for economical long-range cruising at 9 knots burning 7 gph, peppy cruise at 14 knots, and top speed approaching 20 knots when needed. The Grand Banks 46 Europa delivers an impressive combination of efficiency, comfort, seaworthiness, and traditional Grand Banks styling.

Few yachts of this vintage reflect the exceptional condition and thoughtful care to be experienced aboard "ALTA". Plan your inspection today as she will not last!
