Overview

Carolina Breeze is an excellent 1989 example of the popular Grand Banks 42 Motoryacht version. This classic design boat has been well kept. Enjoy a large flybridge, or extend comfort onto the large aft deck. Three staterooms offer comfort for friends or storage for extended cruising. Ultra reliable and efficient Lehman diesels provide power in a well-kept engine room. Carolina Breeze is the perfect coastal cruiser or Great Loop boat. Come see her in beautiful and historic Georgetown, SC.

“Introduced in 1987, the Grand Banks 42 Motor Yacht is a traditional sundeck cruising yacht of uncommon beauty and elegance. She never came near the popularity of the 42 Classic, but enough were sold to make these boats fairly common on the brokerage market. With accommodations for up to three couples, the 42 Motoryacht was popular with those who entertain as well as cruise. Two interiors were offered; a standard three-stateroom layout with the galley up, or optional two-stateroom plan with the galley down. Behind the helm to starboard is an L-Shaped dining area with teak table and settee. Steps at the aft end of the salon lead down to the elegant full beam master stateroom with walkaround queen bed, built-in desk, and generous storage. The aft deck is easily covered by a separate Bimini from the flybridge and makes a spacious outdoor entertaining area. In 1991, Grand Banks redesigned the hull of all of their 42-footers, expanding the width and length by six inches. Among several engine options, twin 210hp Cats cruise at 8–10 knots and twin 375hp Cats cruise at 14–15 knots.”
