Grand Banks Yachts

Celebrating 70 Years | Creating the Category (Again)

In 1993, Grand Banks arrived at the Miami International Boat Show with something entirely new: the Eastbay 38 EX.

With her sweeping sheerline and unmistakable Down East styling, the Eastbay 38 presented the classic vibes. But beneath the surface was a deep-V hull designed by Ray Hunt Design, delivering a combination of speed, offshore handling, craftsmanship and refinement that helped create the production Down East cruiser category in North America.

The response was immediate.

What began with the Eastbay 38 soon grew into an entire series of express cruisers and flybridge yachts from 38 to 58-feet, bringing a new dimension of performance to Grand Banks while remaining true to the craftsmanship and seaworthiness that defined the brand.

More than three decades later, the idea behind that first Eastbay continues to evolve. Today’s Eastbay 44 and Eastbay 60 carry the original concept forward with modern construction, greater efficiency and performance. (Another new Eastbay is already on the drawing board of CEO and Chief Designer Mark Richards.)

Some builders enter a category. Grand Banks creates them.

You know it’s October in Annapolis when City Dock clears out and the temporary docks begin stretching into the harbor.

Grand Banks is looking forward to returning to the Annapolis Powerboat Show, October 8–11, with the Grand Banks 54 on display.

Boat shows are always about more than the boats themselves. They’re an opportunity to reconnect with fellow cruisers, hear where their travels have taken them and, perhaps most importantly, talk about where they hope to go next.

The Grand Banks 54 embodies our approach to long-range cruising at speed, combining performance, efficiency and offshore capability in a yacht designed to take you farther. One of the most popular models in the Grand Banks range, the GB54 is offered in both Flybridge and Sedan configurations.

If you’re heading to Annapolis, stop by, meet the Grand Banks team and spend some time aboard. We look forward to welcoming you.

Pay a visit to Grand Banks on the docks at the Southampton International Boat Show, running September 18–27.

There you will see the Grand Banks 54, a cruising yacht with incredible offshore performance and the timeless lines that brand enthusiasts love. The GB54’s refined accommodations and world-class cruising efficiency will give cruisers a new understanding of what a yacht can be.

Find us on the dock at Marina Stand M341 at the Southampton International Boat Show.

Come and see Grand Banks on the docks at the Newport International Boat Show, running September 17–20.

Let us introduce the Grand Banks 62, making her Newport debut.

The GB62 sets new standards in unmatched onboard comfort, unparalleled performance, and inspiring efficiency, and will show you a whole world of cruising capability.

Find us on the dock at Bannister's Wharf at Booth BSD I & K, and see for yourself.

When the Grand Banks 60 debuted in 2017, it demonstrated that passagemaking no longer required sacrificing speed for efficiency. Then the introduction of the Grand Banks 54, 62, and 85 expanded this philosophy. Now, with the unveiling of the new Grand Banks 65 Skylounge, Grand Banks has created one of its most versatile expressions yet. Come take a peek inside and discover why Grand Banks remains the standard.
