Grand Banks Yachts Boats History & Heritage
Since the 1950s, the Grand Banks brand has earned international acclaim as the discerning enthusiast's choice for motor yachts. Renowned for its world-class build quality, exquisite craftsmanship, and exceptional sea-keeping abilities in challenging weather conditions, Grand Banks has become synonymous with the epitome of American gentlemen's yachts.
Contrary to its image, Grand Banks has always been headquartered in Singapore, with its manufacturing base located just over the bridge in Malaysia. In recent years, the shipyard has undergone a transformative journey, transitioning from producing beautiful yet slow, full-displacement hulls with long keels — initially in Burma teak and later in heavyweight GRP. Despite this evolution, Grand Banks remains a forward-thinking shipyard, preserving its renowned sea-keeping capabilities and classic design elements that define the brand's legacy.
