2007 - Grand Banks Europa

Eldean is a remarkably comfortable and well-equipped example of the Sparkman and Stephens-designed Grand Banks 47 Europa. The Europa model has always been one of the more popular layouts for Pacific Northwest cruising with the well-protected side decks and the spacious covered aft cockpit & elegant all-weather extension of the salon. As you will see when you enter the 47 Europa, Grand Banks took the best features of the previous Europa models and made a beamier, more comfortable semi-planning hull, which thanks to her twin 490 hp Cummins diesels, allows her to comfortably cruise between 10 and 16 knots giving the ability to cruise faster for those whose schedule requires it, while still providing the advantage of efficient fuel consumption at more leisurely displacement cruising speeds.

Board Eldean via either side gate or through the convenient transom door from the swim platform. Crossing the cockpit one enters the salon through the wide and stout sliding door. The interior welcomes the owner and guests with the warmth, elegance and attention to detail for which Grand Banks has become justifiably renown. Generous windows, a GB trademark, and dramatic lighting bathe the teak interior day or night. Eldean provides the perfect venue for entertaining in the bright salon with a full Bose entertainment system that spills into the spacious cockpit with propane barbeque grill. From there, the stairway provides easy access to the generous upper deck where one can enjoy ample seating and a convenient wet bar and refrigerator. The newly upgraded AB RIB dingy with 25hp Yamaha are also neatly stored on the upper aft deck. As the day winds down two staterooms and two heads welcome owner and guests for a good night's rest.

The skipper is also well-cared for with an extensive offering of included equipment. Conveniences such as the Cablemaster shore cord stowage system and electric windlass are augmented underway with trim tabs, bow thruster, stabilizers, genset and a complete suite of helm electronics. The skipper can be accompanied by the first mate at either the wide helm seat at the lower station or the matched and completely restored helm chairs topside. From the fully-equipped galley with granite countertops, well laid out helm stations, comfortable salon with flat-screen TV, spacious staterooms, and extensive engineering features, both crew and guests will feel catered to at the highest yachting standards.

Eldean is currently an active and popular charter boat in the NW Explorations fleet.
