‘Sand Dollar IV’ was recently cut polished and bottom painted and she is ready to cruise.

Stepping aboard Sand Dollar IV, you immediately notice the pride of ownership throughout. She has been thoughtfully upgraded and well maintained, making her a standout and a must-see in her class.

Wide, secure walkaround decks provide safe and easy movement forward, where the bow features a deck locker, anchor platform, and shore power inlet. To Port, a few steps up lead to the boat deck, and continuing up brings you to the flybridge—fully enclosed with canvas for weather protection and offering generous seating for guests.

Entering the salon, rich parquet flooring sets the tone, complemented by the signature folding Grand Banks table with a built-in bar below. The galley and cabinetry are to port, while the helm and comfortable L-shaped settee are to starboard, creating a practical and inviting layout.

The spacious aft master stateroom features a walkaround queen berth with a custom mattress, along with separate head and shower compartments. Storage is abundant, with drawers, cabinets, a hanging locker, and a built-in desk, plus direct access to the aft deck.

Forward, the V-berth offers guests their own private head with shower.

Engine access is convenient, available via a door beneath the V-berth steps or through hatches in the salon.
