2005 GB Eastbay 49HX
HIGHPOINT can comfortably accommodate ten guests in the helm deck with ample seating and dining for six. There is a hi-low dining table on the starboard side of the salon, which also converts into a double berth which makes this an ideal boat for family cruising.


The Grand Banks 49 Eastbay is one of the most innovative express cruisers on the market and it's classic lines and quality manufacturing make it classic for years to come. With the vast amount of experience we have had with the Eastbay 49 over the years, it is no wonder they gravitate to us for resale. The ones listed above are some of the finest 49's on the market. Give us a call to arrange a viewing time or to get more information on any of these listings..

Welcome to the Oxford Yacht Agency. In addition to new boat sales and yacht brokerage we are also proficient in all phases of boat maintenance and repairs, marine insurance repairs, fiberglass boat repairs, custom work and offer indoor boat storage as well as outside winter dry storage.

Covered Winter Dry Dockage is already booking winter boat storage for the 2008/09 Winter Season. It looks as if we will run out of boat storage space this year, so plan on booking your inside boat storage early! And don't forget, we also offer outside boat storage at competitive prices.

New In Brokerage....We have sold a ton of custom Albin 28's over the years and one has emerged in our brokerage department again, and it's a beauty. If you have a boat for sale, you may wish to read about Pre-Survey inspections and Why Your Boat Isn't Selling in our Service Log section

If Downeast boats are your cup of tea, see our selection of Downeast boats and read more about Downeast boats. Or if Express Cruisers are more to your liking, see our Express Cruisers section. And of course, you can always depend on us for all of your trawler needs!



Awlgrip Refinishing is a big deal with many potential buyers deciding to defer upgrading to new boats until the economic forecast is more positive. In response to the consumer's demand, we have been strengthening our Awlgrip Marine Finishing department to accomodate more boats by adding a new Awlgrip professional to our staff. Give us a call if we can help you out.

Market Conditions Despite the downward trend of economic conditions, the smart seller knows the importance of offering the best boat in a slow market. There are fewer buyers who are demanding boats that are properly maintained, in good cosmetic condition and with good equipment. If your boat is at the bottom of the condition scale, there are few hopes for selling. OYA offers the ability to bring a boat to top condition and keep it that way because our boats for sale for the most part are kept inside during inclement weather and are not constantly physically depreciated each day by sun and wind and Dickerson Harbor is located in near fresh water so the effects of salt are nil.

Broker's Corner Following the success of our yard's daily blog, we have decided to add a new section - a blog if you will - for our boat sales department. Here you will find our assessments of the boats we have for sale - what we like, what we don't like and more interesting information that doesn't show up in our listings. Also, you will find from time to time tips on buying and selling your boats and how we can help with that. Check it out!

Hurricane Party ... A participant view:

The last monthly cruise on the 2008 season was somewhat hampered by 40K winds and rain. Fourteen hearty, wet souls gathered at OYA to share friendship, food, spirits and John Shannahan's hospitality on Saturday evening. Our entertainment was watching Town Creek inch its way over Morris Road and cover some of the neighboring docks. After sufficiently doing damage to the appetizers supplied we waddled across the street to the Oxford Inn for dinner on the porch. The storm had passed leaving a gentile breeze and the state road crews monitoring the road conditions. Little yellow lights raced back and forth on their trucks, reflecting on the receding puddles. Raising our glasses to "Hanna", we toasted Mother Nature and were thankful no serious damage was apparent.

A good time was had by all, we even convinced some folks from WI. to join the club.
