Vessel Description

The Grand Banks 36 Classic is one of the most iconic trawler-style yachts ever built, widely regarded as a benchmark for long-range cruising boats. Introduced in the mid-1960s by American Marine (the original name for Grand Banks Yachts) in Hong Kong/Singapore, it was the company's first model and helped define the modern trawler yacht category.

Nuthin Fancy is a prime example of the Grand Banks 36 Classic, a stunning trawler from 1985 that embodies timeless elegance and robust performance. With an overall length of 36.83 feet, this vessel is designed for both comfort and adventure on the water. Crafted from durable fiberglass, it promises longevity and resilience.
