Overview

Boarding from either side deck or the aft deck, guests are welcomed by wide walkaround teak decks framed by traditional teak railings, stainless-steel stanchions, and teak-capped toe rails that provide safe and secure passage throughout the vessel. Her timeless trawler profile remains instantly recognizable and continues to draw admiration wherever she travels. 


Inside, rich teak joinery and abundant natural light create the warm, inviting atmosphere for which Grand Banks yachts are renowned. The salon offers comfortable seating, a wet bar, entertainment center, and flexible dining arrangements, while large opening windows provide excellent ventilation and panoramic views. 


Forward, the lower helm features excellent sightlines, a convenient helm-side access door, and casual seating that allows guests to remain engaged while underway. 


The full-beam owner's stateroom is located aft and features a walkaround queen berth, extensive storage, a dedicated workspace, and private ensuite facilities with separate head and stall shower compartments. Numerous opening windows fill the space with natural light and fresh air, creating a comfortable retreat after a day on the water. 


Forward accommodations provide comfortable guest quarters along with a second head and separate shower, making GRAND JOUR equally well suited for cruising couples, family adventures, or extended stays aboard. 


The galley is thoughtfully positioned to support life underway, offering generous storage, dual refrigeration, an in-counter freezer, ample countertop workspace, and convenient access to both the salon and guest accommodations. 


Above, the expansive flybridge delivers commanding views, abundant seating, updated electronics, and a newer Bimini top, creating an ideal space for entertaining or enjoying the journey from above.

Her fuel tanks have been replaced with aluminum tanks, addressing one of the most common concerns among Grand Banks buyers, while her recently rebuilt engines provide added confidence for owners planning extended cruising. 


After years of ownership and enjoyment, the Seller's relocation plans have created an opportunity for the next steward to take the helm of this iconic trawler. GRAND JOUR is priced to reflect her current condition and offers an excellent platform for a buyer seeking a classic Grand Banks with major mechanical upgrades already in place.
