Grand Banks 42 Charter

Whistler is one of the most refined 42’ Grand Banks you’ll come across, offering a rare opportunity to explore the Pacific Northwest in comfort and confidence. Her “Salish Sea” theme is perfectly suited to these cruising grounds, where forested shorelines, protected anchorages, and abundant wildlife define the experience.

The 42’ Grand Banks has long been regarded as a benchmark in production trawlers, known for its seaworthy design and enduring craftsmanship. Whistler builds on that legacy with a range of custom features not often found on vessels her size, creating a platform that is both capable and inviting for extended cruising.

Thoughtfully outfitted for the 2026 season, she includes Starlink internet to keep you connected when needed, along with twin inflatable kayaks that encourage exploration beyond the anchorage. Easy to launch and ideal for quiet shoreline excursions, they add another layer to the cruising experience. Whether you’re tracing secluded inlets, paddling ashore for a beach walk, or settling into a favorite cove, Whistler makes it easy to stay a little longer.

Well equipped, easy to handle, and ready for new adventures, she is an ideal choice for those looking to experience the coast on their own terms.

Reserve Whistler now and begin your next journey on the water.
