Grand Banks Yachts epitomizes a legacy of maritime excellence, delivering on the dream of luxurious long-distance cruising with their world-renowned fleet. Embarking from its origin in boat craftsmanship that continues to navigate industry innovations.
Since Robert Newton laid the foundation for Grand Banks in Hong Kong nearly seventy years ago, Grand Banks Yachts has flourished into an iconic brand synonymous with superior build quality, high-performance, and impeccable design. Initially producing robust sailboats and sizeable motor yachts, Grand Banks transitioned into the influential purveyor of the elite trawler yacht – transforming recreational cruising.
In a pivotal shift, Grand Banks courageously transitioned from wood to fiberglass hulls in the early '70s, fortifying their commitment to durability, maintenance ease, and oceanic fortitude. The result is a lineage of yachts that boast exceptional seafaring capabilities and timeless elegance.
Today, Grand Banks stands at the confluence of tradition and technological evolution, with shipyards in Malaysia equipped with advanced boat-building technology. Their Eastbay and Grand Banks series, including the GB54, GB60, and GB85 models, reflect the pinnacle of yacht manufacturing – swift, stable, and fuel-efficient.
Steered by Mark Richards, an ocean-racing champion and CEO, Grand Banks infuses a racing DNA into their reinvented yacht range, ensuring that every vessel is not only a testament to luxury but also to high performance and innovation.
