LINDA MARIE is the last of the desired 46 Europa’s built by Grand Banks and features the original legendary semi-displacement hull design known for its soft ride, excellent sea-keeping abilities, and voluminous storage.  She has up-to-date 6CTA-Series Cummins engines, bow and stern thrusters, tender davit, and updated electronics.  This sought after layout features a large salon with walk-out covered aft and side decks, galley-up, helm station side door and the new-style centerline fly bridge helm.  Her present owner has been a first rate custodian and those inspecting her will find her in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition and wanting for nothing but a new owners personal touches.

LINDA MARIE features a three cabin layout below. The master is forward, with a centerline queen berth and en-suite head with stall shower to starboard.  Aft to starboard is the traditional 46EU guest cabin with twin berths athwart ships.  Opposite to port is the third cabin with upper (currently removed) and lower berths.  A shared guest head with shower for these two cabins also serves as the day head.

Up a few steps is the Galley to port and lower helm to starboard followed by a large seating area with settee, chairs and entertainment center.  A sliding door leads to the spacious aft deck and fully covered side decks.  Molded fiberglass stairs (with storage under) lead up to a custom laid out flybridge.

LINDA MARIE is a very well maintained low hour GB46 Europa that’s been used seasonally in New England.  She runs along nicely at displacement speeds or at a 15kt to 17kt cruise (confirmed by her broker who ran alongside for the photo shoot) topping out over 20kts.  Her unique 3-stateroom layout affords cruising privacy for multiple couples or kids of all ages and her custom swimplatform access from her aft deck makes boarding from the water or tender a breeze.  Handling is predicable around the dock thanks to Bow and Stern thrusters and a dedicated Marquipt tender davit makes launching quick and easy.  LINDA MARIE is in very nice condition and one of the nicest Grand Banks her listing broker has seen.  For sale due to her owners desire for a larger vessel.
