2001 Grand Banks Eastbay 49 HX — Timeless Downeast Luxury and Offshore Performance

The Grand Banks Eastbay 49 HX is one of the most admired Downeast express yachts ever built—renowned for her craftsmanship, pedigree, and unmatched ride quality. Designed by the legendary C. Raymond Hunt Associates, this 49-footer blends classic Grand Banks lines with the performance of a true deep-V hull, delivering a confident, smooth, and dry ride in all sea conditions.

Elegant Design and Handcrafted Quality

This Eastbay’s striking profile, sweeping shear, and rich teak detailing embody the timeless appeal of the Grand Banks brand. Step aboard and you’ll find a beautifully appointed cockpit, a spacious hardtop salon with panoramic visibility, and luxurious handcrafted interiors finished in warm teak—every detail showcasing the uncompromising craftsmanship Grand Banks is known for.

Performance That Inspires Confidence

Powered by dependable high-horsepower diesels, the 49 HX cruises efficiently in the mid-20 knot range and has the offshore capability and handling expected from a Hunt deep-V. Whether you're running to the islands, making a long-range passage, or enjoying a relaxed coastal cruise, the Eastbay delivers a confident, refined, and remarkably stable ride.

Comfortable Living Spaces

  • Below deck, the 49 HX offers a bright, inviting cabin layout featuring:
  • A spacious master stateroom with abundant storage
  • A well-appointed guest stateroom
  • A generous head with separate shower
  • A gourmet galley that’s perfect for extended cruising

The salon’s hardtop express design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, creating an open, social layout ideal for entertaining family and friends.

A Yacht with Pedigree and Presence
