Pairing seamlessly with her advanced construction is the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail found throughout the entire yacht. The Grand Banks marque is known for fine timber joinery, and that quality is seen through every facet of the boat from the bulkheads and fixed furniture that is fused and bonded to both the deck and hull, to the highly engineered and finished engine room.
The most impressive feature of the new Grand Banks 54 is her soft quiet ride quality.
Through the fused nature of the bulkheads they achieve a semi-monocoque torsion box result that is stiff underway and free from any rattles or creaking. The rest of the ride is quiet thanks to the combination of their efficient and high-performance hull shape, and the careful balancing both longitudinally and vertically, of the large-mass components. The engines are mounted amidships along with a full-beam baffled fuel tank to keep the weight low and centered. The deck and superstructure are all infused carbon fibre to minimise weight aloft, resulting in a naturally low centre of gravity.
Careful attention was paid to the lines of the new Grand Banks range, ensuring proportions were maintained and equal weights were given to both form and function. One of the areas this can be appreciated most is in the bridge design, where the profile appears low, but the space is both voluminous and expansive. The flybridge is available in both open and climate-controlled Skylounge appointments, with ample entertaining space, a wet bar, electric BBQ, and comfortable seating for guests and helmsman.
The bridge is accessed via a teak stairway from the cockpit, which houses the 10′ outboard-mounted tender on a custom cradle, with 1,000lb davit for easy launching and retrieval. The bridge helm further improves navigational sightlines from the already well-appointed lower helm and is complimented by twin Stidd captains chairs to your spec, and can be outfitted with your chosen navigational equipment.
