Overview

Remember that famous ad campaign slogan:

"Its Better In The Bahamas" 

Well, the current owner of this elegant Beneteau 505 would argue:

"Its even better in this uniquely-customized Beneteau 505 Cruiser!"

If you know this renowned model, it's standard layout is a 5-cabin, 4-head layout to accommodate a maximum number of passengers plus a forward crew cabin. great for chartering...not so much if you're in the market for a "live-aboard" cruiser with a larger master stateroom and ensuite.

That's exactly why this vessel's current owner completed a clever refit that puts the owner's comfort first and foremost, while retaining more than reasonable space and comfort for guests.

RECENT UPDATES INCLUDE:

• Expanded Aft Master Cabin w/Ensuite
• New Cortex Vesper AIS Module
• New Rudder Coupling, Mount and Support Plate
• New shaft, Bushing & Coupling to engine
• Inflatable Dinghy with New Electric Engine (Epropulsion Evo)

Current owner of 16 years has sailed Grand Illusions II to her home ports in Lake Champlain and the Bahamas. Vessel is currently on the hard at Marsh Harbor, Bahamas - in good condition for her model year with only some modest fiberglass repair required. 

This vessel could be a great fit for sailors who want to spend a portion of their time living aboard in the Bahamas.
