The launch of the GB60 marks the moment when the past caught up with the future – our history of luxury and style was re-imagined with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. The result is a long-distance cruiser that is the most fuel-efficient in its class, capable of a high cruise speed (80%) of 22 knots and a range of over 2000 nautical miles at 10 knots. Exceptionally comfortable on board while uniquely comfortable on the water, the GB60 is truly a game changer.

The GB54 is a perfect fusion of classic style and modern technology. Its elegant form is sculpted by over sixty years of experience in building luxurious, long-distance cruisers. Its class-leading performance and efficiency rest upon a hull that was inspired by the underwater geometry of ocean racing yachts. Add to this the ingenuity of its ergonomics and you’ll find the GB54 extraordinarily light and spacious yet easy to manage and handle with only one or two pairs of hands on-board.

Within the boating community, the name Grand Banks has become synonymous with the romance and luxury of long-distance cruising – a far cry from its humble origins on a vacant lot in a far-flung land.

This vison of beauty and perfection is a computer-rendered illustration of the yacht that will soon rewrite the rules of long-distance cruising. Thanks to the super-sleek lines of its V-Warp hull, the GB85 won’t so much as ‘hit the water’ as slide effortlessly into it at the end of the year. And while its maiden voyage will leave a surprisingly flat and shallow wake, we anticipate the yacht’s progress will be followed by a tsunami of interest, commentary and debate in the marine press and among the boating community. Why? The GB85 is not just a bigger Grand Banks. It’s a whole new class of boat. Technically, at just over 87 feet, the 85 has inched into the ‘Superyacht’ category. But as well as breaking this class barrier, our exquisite new vessel is set to break every record for performance, efficiency and range in any category you care to mention. On the GB85, space is not at a premium, it’s a luxury. The extended length and 22ft beam of this yacht enable us to offer the widest range of internal configurations and amenities for all on board – guests and crew. For long distance cruising, the ’85 offers a rare combination of sociability and privacy.

As the original ‘Downeaster’, Eastbay set the standard against which all coastal cruisers are judged. While carefully preserving its traditions of style, luxury and speed, we’ve enhanced its DNA with the latest marine technology, manufacturing materials and construction techniques. It’s quite literally the best of both worlds – the past and the future.
