A sleek and comprehensively modernised evolution of Grand Banks’s classic Downeast series of mid-size, coupé-style motor launches, the Eastbay 44 is designed for dual-purpose cruising and fishing.

It combines a spacious and subtly raised but relatively low-profile pilothouse with three-stateroom accommodation on the lower deck, in a deep-vee hull with flared bows, broad beam and an open aft cockpit for al fresco lounging, dining and fishing – the bathing platform doubles up as an effective marlin board if you go trolling for big game.

About

Interior

The main deck accommodation comprises a large dinette facing a well-equipped galley (or more seating if you have the galley downstairs) and a two-seater helm seat and console up forward and offset to starboard with two opening hatches in the coachroof above. There’s another spacious L-shaped settee in the large, open cockpit. Down below, there are three interior layout options to choose from. Whichever you pick, the master cabin is in the bow with private en suite heads and shower. The whole interior has a classic yacht feel and is nicely fitted out in top-quality teak.

Exterior

The styling is classic and slightly retro with pronounced positive sheer, prominently flared bow sections and the crisp, purposeful lines of a traditional luxury motor cruiser. Broad side decks with high bulwarks and chunky handrails give a feel of security when walking around the decks. The forward coachroof is subtly raised to give ample headroom in the master cabin and a transom door leads aft from the cockpit onto the broad teak bathing platform.

Performance

Designed to cruise efficiently at around 25 knots and with a top speed of about 31 knots, this is a capable sea-going yacht for short-range or medium-range use in fair weather or foul. The hull’s inherent form stability gives a comfortable motion at anchor.

From The Manufacturer

The classic Eastbay 44 offers comfortable and efficient cruising, along with sheer beauty and craftsmanship without compare. Our more than 60 years of boatbuilding shines through in every detail, from the tight-grain Burmese teak to the purposefulness of an uncluttered helm. Legendary Downeast styling provides a versatile base for both relaxing jaunts and more adventurous cruises exceeding 30 knots, and the spacious interior features ample seating, overnight accommodations for 6 people and entertaining space for even more. Modern amenities provide at-home comfort on both day trips and extended cruises alike, with an expansive swim platform off the broad and deep cockpit that brings you closer to the water and makes boarding easy.

The Eastbay 44 is the sleek, modernized evolution of our classic Downeast line. Behind our updated build quality is impressive power and efficiency. Our exceptional team of designers and craftsmen employ the latest techniques to deliver enhanced power and seakeeping. The latest in high-tech construction techniques ensure every Eastbay is lighter, stronger and faster.

Enduring tradition and classical styling are woven into every yacht we build. The EB44’s clean, classic lines and impeccable craftsmanship remain even as modern build techniques update performance, quality and efficiency. A pristine, spacious engine room leads to both a perfectly balanced vessel and to vastly more volume in the yacht’s living spaces, including a jaw-dropping three staterooms and two roomy heads.

The Eastbay 44 comes equipped with a large centered and baffled fuel tank to achieve ideal weight distribution. The powertrain is designed around high-performance 435-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS600s that deliver incredibly low RPM response, enable precision maneuverability and complement the yacht’s long-range ability.

Each EB44 hull is a sandwich of woven fabric E-Glass and Corcell closed-cell foam, infused with vinylester resin. This creates a stiffer, quieter hull, with more strength and less unnecessary weight.

Every new Grand Banks comes with a 5-year hull and deck warranty, a 2-year warranty on all factory installed parts and equipment, and an industry leading 5-year Volvo engine warranty.
