Overview
About this vessel
Few express cruisers carry themselves quite like BELLA BLUE. Built on C. Raymond Hunt's legendary deep-vee hull, the Grand Banks 49 Eastbay HX was engineered from the outset for serious offshore passage-making—and this example has been maintained to match that ambition. Twin Cummins QSM-11 diesels deliver 1,320 combined horsepower with authority, the engines and genset freshly serviced and the running gear just refreshed in the summer of 2025.
What truly sets BELLA BLUE apart is her exceptionally rare custom single-stateroom layout—one of only four Grand Banks 49 Eastbay HX vessels ever built with this configuration. By eliminating the second cabin, the builder created something far more livable for a cruising couple: a genuinely expansive master stateroom forward, and a large, beautifully appointed galley that invites real cooking and real entertaining. The salon sofa converts effortlessly to a sleeping berth, offering flexible accommodations for guests without sacrificing the open, airy feel that makes this layout so special. For two people who live aboard or cruise extensively, BELLA BLUE offers a level of comfort and space simply not found in a standard twin-cabin layout.
Upgraded teak upper bulkheads lend a warmth and refinement well above the standard fiberglass finish, while four-zone Cruisair climate control, a full Garmin electronics suite, Glendinning electronic controls, and a 2018 Avon RIB round out a boat that is as capable as she is refined. BELLA BLUE is offered well-equipped, well-maintained, and ready to go.
