Actually the charter fleet is nothing to do with Grand Banks, Inc.* It's a privately owned operation and is where we chartered a GB36 before deciding to buy one.
The company used to be Grand Yachts Northwest but today it is called Northwest Explorations.* Their charter fleet ranges from a GB32 up to a couple of GB52s with just about everything in between.* They are not a GB dealership but they specialize in the buying and selling of GBs and they always have a sizeable inventory.* Their lead broker, Scott Blake, found our boat for us back in 1998. I would recommend him to anyone contemplating the acquisition of a GB.* The company's charter fleet is immaculate.* Their website for anyone interested is

They do require a certain level of experience before they will charter a boat to someone, but they offer skipper training to familiarize a charter customer with the operation and handling of the boat if they're not already familiar with them.
