Grand Banks has Almost Heaven, a 2018 Palm Beach 42, listed for sale at $1.35 million. This 48-foot express cruiser has a timeless profile and a thoroughly modern build.
“This boat has remarkably sleek lines for a Down East-inspired yacht. That design choice not only draws the eye, but it also has the seakindly effect of helping to keep her center of gravity low — a trait anyone who’s ever been on rolling seas will appreciate. Palm Beach has a reputation for building boats that excel in tough conditions and such details are the reason why,” Yachting previously reported.
