The Grand Banks 62 made its global debut at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show, attracting over 1,000 visitors and generating multiple new build orders from both domestic and international clients.
The new model expands the Grand Banks 60 Series, built on the company’s long-standing principles of fuel efficiency, strength, and extended cruising range. Standard power is twin Volvo D13 engines rated at 900hp each with straight shafts and Twin Disc MGX 5096A marine transmissions. Optional upgrades include 1,000hp shaft drives or Volvo IPS 1200S packages. Performance figures include a top speed of 30 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots, while fuel consumption at 20 knots is 38 gallons per hour. At 10 knots, the yacht offers a 2,000-nautical-mile range.
Designed with offshore cruising in mind, the hull maintains a consistent running angle across the speed curve. This reduces resistance and enhances comfort and safety across various sea conditions.
Interior accommodation includes a three-stateroom, three-head layout. The guest cabin to starboard includes an en suite and features an athwartships double berth with an additional single berth. A dedicated utility area with washer/dryer caters to longer passages.
Following its Palm Beach premiere, Grand Banks will showcase the Grand Banks 60 and debut the Eastbay 60 in Australia at the 2025 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show from 22–25 May. Factory-direct tours will be available at Slip Location G/H Connector in Sanctuary Cove Marina.
