The flagship Grand Banks 85 is a dynamic tour de force. The focus on high-speed efficiency and cruising comfort is laser focussed, so much so that at 20 knots with the standard IPS1350 1,000hp engines it will cover 1,000nm. Astonishing.
The determination to keep the boat’s weight in check makes all the difference. By employing carbon fibre and other lightweight materials throughout the build, the Grand Banks is significantly lighter than its mainstream rivals. It is, for example, around 20 tonnes lighter than the Ferretti 860.
On board, it’s a feast of high-quality timber and mouthwatering detail. Just wait until you see what they’ve managed to include in the owner’s stateroom. It’s a first for us on board a boat!
MAN 1,300hp V8s on shafts are an option but with a top speed of 30 knots and those amazing fuel burn figures, it would appear that IPS is the way to go.

Hey Jack, just wanted to give you some positive feedback. This new format with transitions to different parts of the vessel and the camera focus on the features as you speak is a massive improvement. And of course not to mention your great presentation skills and boating experience to add flavour to the practicalities of boating. Great getting the specs and performance in the same video with them showing on the screen as well. One of the best channels now. Well done.

It’s a testament to the vision of their CEO and being able to bring those ideas to life, my late parents had a Grand Banks 32. It might not have been a large boat but the design and feel was superb, today the boats are bigger and so are the expectations too. The use of newer materials doesn’t detract from the quality at all, years ago Grand Banks chose to stop building the hulls with wood and switched to fibreglass but kept it quiet as it were. Grand Banks have a fantastic reputation and have had some designs copied with mixed results. The attention to detail is important and the little things do matter. On the GB 32 to open the drawers for things you had to lift and then slide them, a simple but effective solution. The craftsmanship is still very impressive but still done in house as it were. There’s no wasted space and what there is gets utilised logically. My favourite of all time is the 52 Europa, it shows that you don’t always need a big boat to be efficient or seaworthy. I sincerely think this will become a classic design of this era. The classics of the past like the GB36 and GB42 were of their time and demonstrated how to make the most of things. I wonder what will be next in the story of Grand Banks, the Eastbay 60 is slowly being released so maybe that will allow the future to be explored in a different perspective. Nobody does it better and Grand Banks are once again leading the way with style, design and a purpose.

I well remeber the smaller GB's on the West Coast of Scotland where I started sailing. There was a dealer so quite a few were delivered. They did not look small to me but I sailled a Folkboat back then. Sadly only a lottery win would get me close to one, we can but dream.

@@ianscott3180 you can buy a boat for a modest amount but the upkeep is often overlooked by many, generally you need to spend 10% or thereabouts on maintenance and fuel plus storage or moorings. An option might be to buy a boat with a few mates and that way you have something for going fishing or a holiday boat for the year round.

Grand Bank yachts were the first yachts that I found I wanted to own years ago, I'm a 4x4 person not a sports car. I then discovered Nordhavn and Fleming and have been comparing then since. To be honest, I'd have either of those three, and I'd throw Elling into the mix as well, who don't get the coverage they deserve! I also say that to Aquaholics! Get an Elling E4 on for a review. Great video by the way, a lovely boat!

Well, it would certainly take a grand bank to finance me! 😂I love this boat, similar to the Riviera but with more classic elegance! I’m off to find a grand piano to put on mine 🎹🤦‍♂️(chalk up another good one, Jack 👍

If you were to watch a series of videos on US boats by European reviewers and then to one of those word cloud thingies, the phrase “home from home” would be in HUGE LETTERS. And that’s the thing with American boats - there’s a huge emphasis on family living, and less outdoor lounging. Most of the European boats we drool over are essentially designed for fart-arsing about the Med. US boats are thus also often designed to cope with a greater variety of weather. Now, there’s nothing wrong with fart-arsing. I’m quite the fart-arser myself. It’s just the difference in design priorities that fascinates me.

The range is really good but how does it handle in a little bad seas. The layout isn't my favorite and it looks like a big wedge on the exterior. The galley doesn't make sense. I'm sure someone will like it but for that price there is a lot of competition.

Nice review! Hands tied. Grew up in North America, anything in the high end category came from Europe! Moved to Europe problem solved and a lot cheaper when you live in Europe! Not the innovation and quality of European Yachts. You think I would be biased the other way, No!
