Our lift is not just for personal use. It can be easily detached, freeing up space, or used to effortlessly move items on and off the boat. Imagine the relief of never having to struggle with a load alone again!

Manufacturer's Provided Description

The Eastbay 38 was much the same to Grand Banks as DKNY was to Donna Karan or Polo was to Ralph Lauren – sportier, more youthful but retaining the essential premise of the original – quality without trendiness. Hence the status of ‘instant classic’.

Built of a modified version of C. Raymond Hunt’s deep-V hull, the 38 offered a dry ride and a good turn of speed. A stepped chine improved efficiency, a short keel added stability and the shallow prop tunnels reduced her draft to just 3’10” – impressive for a 38-footer.

While the Grand Banks heritage was evident in the beautiful teak deck, varnished toe rail, optional mast and classic designs, the differences were even more striking – the large and open cockpit, the spacious helm area, the long foredeck. The entertaining spaces were huge – masses of room to stand or sit on two bench seats, portable lounges, a transom door for easy access to the teak platform.

This yacht, with its bimini top and wide, non-slip, side decks had been designed to keep passengers above deck and in the elements where they could enjoy the sunshine, catch fish or do both at the same time.

Once below decks, the Grand Banks DNA became a little more obvious – lots of teak, traditional reds, yellows and blues, and tons of storage space. Timeless style, nothing trendy.

Perhaps the design aesthetic of the boat is best captured in the words, “stylish functionality”. This philosophy was clearly on display in the fully equipped galley that was eminently practical but by no means spartan. Similarly, the helm station was a study in organization – a full set of VDO gauges, switches and alarms were visible at a glance while electronics were flush mounted on a vertical panel.
