Details

A larger cockpit, expanded staterooms, and a second head are just a few of the many upgrades aboard this successor to the acclaimed Grand Banks 41EU. The 43EU reimagines the modern trawler motoryacht, delivering enhanced comfort, confident performance, and long‑legged cruising capability. With fingertip joystick control, impressive top speeds over 25 knots, and excellent fuel efficiency at displacement pace, she offers more space, better handling, and longer on‑water enjoyment than any other yacht in her class.

Her dimensions are meticulously optimized for seakeeping and liveability: Maximum Length (Lmax) is 15.26 m, with an LOA of 13.19 m, a generous 4.77 m beam for remarkable volume, a Length Waterline (LWL) of 12.17 m for efficient passage‑making, and a maximum draft of 1.20 m for confident access to shallower harbors. Displacement is 16,700 kg light and 19,000 kg loaded, striking an ideal balance between solidity and performance.

Power comes from twin Cummins QSB6.7 480HP inboard diesel engines, neatly paired to deliver spirited acceleration and relaxed, economical cruising. Engine hours stand at 754.4 (port) and 755.3 (starboard). The drivetrain is engineered for precision: ZF Marine ZF105 S-1 gearboxes with a 1.39:1 ratio work in concert with the Zeus Pod Drive, Mercury Marine 5-Q4CY64JH, ratio 2.24, turning ZF Marine M4 five‑blade propellers for superb thrust, tracking, and low‑vibration running.

The interior arrangement is thoughtfully appointed for family cruising and guest comfort, offering two cabins—an inviting forward master with a double bed and a port guest cabin with twin beds—served by two well‑equipped heads/bathrooms. Certified for up to 10 persons onboard, the 43EU welcomes entertaining in bright, open living spaces.

Autonomy and reliability are bolstered by an Onan 9.5kW 50Hz generator showing 1,286.9 hours, robust battery banks (AGM 80AH for the generator, 2x 210AH for the engines, and 2x 255AH for service), a Mastervolt battery charger, and a comprehensive Fireboy fire system complemented by a Seafire CO detector. The Tropical Package air conditioning by Dometic Marine ensures climate‑controlled comfort across the forward master cabin, port guest cabin, and both sides of the saloon, while Livos Tech engine‑room ventilation and a Pelonis headroom blower sustain cool, dry, and quiet machinery spaces.

Well‑specified plumbing includes electric heads, an electric bilge pump, pre‑installed piping and wiring for a fresh water maker, a fresh water purification system, and a dependable water heater. In the engine room, Croco seawater strainers protect both engines and generator, Centek seawater strainers and mufflers refine flow and noise attenuation, and a dedicated soundproofing package reduces acoustic signatures underway and at anchor.

Culinary preparation is a pleasure with a full solid‑surface countertop and premium appliances, including a Miele electric cooktop and microwave, a Vitrifrigo drawer fridge and U-Line icemaker in the saloon, plus an additional Vitrifrigo freezer and Waeco Collmatic refrigerator in the utility room. A dedicated wine glass storage cabinet adds a refined touch for elegant entertaining.

Topside, practical cruise‑ready detailing continues: Opacmare Model 3030/29 AL12V davits manage tenders with ease; a Zodiac Open Sea liferaft underscores safety; a teak cockpit and extended teak swim platform invite barefoot living; stainless railings with a Canon launcher mount add secure utility; while a swimming ladder and a Sunbrella bimini top complete the alfresco experience.

From the saloon and flybridge helms, navigation is intuitive and fully integrated: a Raymarine E125 navigation plotter teams with a Raymarine i70 multi‑function display (depth, wind, speed), a Cummins VesselView engine display and interface, a Raymarine RAY240E VHF, and a Ritchie compass. Joystick control with SkyHook positioning brings fingertip precision to docking and station‑keeping, reinforced by a GPS antenna, Raymarine Radome radar for situational awareness, and an electric windlass rated at 1,500W for effortless anchoring.
