WISHINGSTAR Boat for Sale

WISHING STAR Walkthrough

Step aboard this luxurious Grand Banks 54 onto her large teak decked swim platform and spacious aft deck. The aft deck features built-in transom seating with a large movable teak bi-fold indoor/outdoor dining table and space for extra chairs. The lazarette and engine room is accessed through a hatch in the center. The lazarette is a huge storage space for owner items and provisions.

Looking forward, entrance to the salon is through a single teak and glass panel door. Stairs to the flybridge are to starboard with a bank of fridge/freezer drawers below. To port is a wet bar with basin sink above and trash can and storage cabinets below. There is a large powered window which opens into the salon. 

Enter the salon and immediately you are immersed in a traditional yet modern interior filled with satin teak finishings and neutral-colored soft goods. There are L-settees to port and starboard for a maximization of seating in this open salon with a large movable bi-fold high gloss teak table and ottoman. Her lower helm is forward to starboard featuring a double bench helmseat with access from port and stbd, starboard side helm door for easy access to side decks, and two (2) Garmin Electronics displays with all navigational controls neatly arranged (please see section below for detailed description of equipment) and AC/DC breaker panel below. To port there is a built-in side table which lifts up to access storage. In between these two areas is the three steps down into the lower accommodations.

Egress down three steps to the lower deck and to port find the beautifully designed galley. The galley offers ample counter space, storage drawers and cabinets, convection oven, stovetop burner with vent overhead, large stainless steel sink w/faucet, refrigerator/freezer drawers and more! Behind the stairs features a hidden combo washer/dryer unit accessed by unlatching and pulling forward the staircase. 

The accommodations on this GB54 features a two stateroom, two head layout. Her master stateroom is midship and features a low, easily accessible walkaround queen berth with storage below with spacious en suite head and stall shower. The VIP guest stateroom is forward with a low, easily accessible centerline queen berth with en suite head and stall shower. Her galley is across from the master stateroom to port and is U-shaped. 

WISHINGSTAR features a very easy to transit staircase to effortlessly access the flybridge from her exterior aft cockpit. Her flybridge features a hardtop with LED lighting, large L-settee with teak table to port and a wet bar to starboard with fridge, storage and sink. Up forward, her upper helm has 2 STIDD helmseats, teak and stainless GB wheel, two (2) Garmin touchscreen displays with duplicated controls from below. Aft behind the settee is another bank of cabinets with a section of the countertop that lifts up to reveal a built-in electric grill. Just aft of this is the tender davit and AB center console tender with motor.
