Grand Banks will present two of its most celebrated models, the GB85 and the GB54, at the upcoming Newport International Boat Show, September 11–14 in Newport, Rhode Island.
Taking center stage will be the beautiful Grand Banks 85, a custom yacht that represents the pinnacle of the Long-Range Cruiser Series and the company’s ongoing commitment to larger models. As Grand Banks continues to evolve, demand from owners for more space, greater capability, and uncompromising comfort has driven the brand into the large-yacht category, while preserving the efficiency, craftsmanship, and timeless design that define every Grand Banks.
Joining the flagship at the show, is the Grand Banks 54, a modern reinvention of a classic. With a top speed of 30 knots and an impressive range of nearly 500 nautical miles at 21 knots, the GB54 delivers a rare balance of speed and efficiency throughout the entire speed curve. Designed to be easily handled by a couple or even single-handedly, the GB54 is a standout in versatility, offering owners confidence at the helm and comfort at sea.
“Owner demand for larger yachts has been a driving force in our recent development,” said Mark Richards, CEO and Chief Designer of Grand Banks Yachts. “The GB85 is a natural evolution of that focus, delivering long-range cruising capability and luxury at scale, while the GB54 showcases how we continue to refine and innovate across our core lineup.”
Grand Banks Yachts continues to build on its reputation for delivering world-class cruising yachts that endure across generations. Both the GB85 and GB54 are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, extensive use of carbon-fiber construction and advanced materials, hallmarks of the brand’s commitment to strength, performance, and lasting quality.
Visitors to the Newport International Boat Show will have the opportunity to step aboard these two exquisite models and experience firsthand the performance, design, and craftsmanship that define Grand Banks Yachts for nearly 70 years.
