The 54 continues the push toward embracing the latest technology in a comfortable, long-range cruising package. Power and Motor Yacht Jeff Moser - May 2019

As well as offering unusually strong performance for a trawler-style yacht, Grand Banks credits it with responsive handling and good fuel efficiency thanks to a hull that generates minimal wake and maintains a consistency low running angle. Motor Boat & Yachting

The nicest thing about walking from bow to stern on the Grand Banks 54 is how safe I felt. Not only are the side decks ringed with stout rails, but they’re so wide that I could stand sideways with size 12 shoes and still have 2 inches of wiggle room left over. Yachting Lenny Rudow - Oct 2020

This is a boat that feels utterly unique both in the way it is put together and the way it cruises. Motor Boat & Yachting Jack Haines - Jan 2022

About

Interior

Options include a choice of location for the galley – you can have that either on the main deck adjoining the salon or downstairs on the lower deck. The default décor option includes lots of dark hardwood veneer, but on a semi-custom boat like this, it can be almost anything you want.

Exterior

A chunky-looking yet classically elegant yacht with tall superstructure and a purposeful flared bow, the 54 channels the marque’s.

As with the Grand Banks 60, a RIB can be stored on the aft end of the flybridge, deployed by a dedicated crane that swivels out past the side decks to launch and recover it.

Performance

For propulsion, you get to choose between traditional shaft drives and Volvo IPS pod drives. Top speed is around 32 knots with a standard propulsion package installed and cruising speed is 28 knots. Throttle back to 20 knots and fuel consumption drops to a very reasonable 29 gallons per hour.

From The Manufacturer

Grand Banks continues its bold foray into the future of long-range cruising with the release of the Grand Banks 54. This beautifully designed luxury cruising yacht is available with galley-up or galley-down layouts to suit your individual preference. The GB 54’s design and engineering represents more than 60 years of building long-distance cruising boats. Like the highly acclaimed GB60, the 54 uses the latest methods of fully infused carbon fiber in the deck and superstructure for added strength and reduced weight, and 100-percent vinylester resin throughout the build. The GB54 is expected to be able to cruise for 1,000 miles at 10 knots, while a fast cruise is estimated at 27 knots at 70-percent load. Top speed is projected at 32 knots. The lower center-ofgravity construction methods and efficient hull design ensure comfort in all seas.

Tradition and contemporary styling are married to stunning effect. We bring our decades of experience to the layout of the 54 to offer distinct spaces to socialize, live, and cruise. Opposing settees create a unique "living room" feel, while the large L-shaped settee is ideal for family meals. The double helm seat has superb lines of sight and easy access to the decks with a side opening door. Extra attention is paid to create an abundance of stowage to accommodate long-range cruising.

The Grand Banks 54 warms the heart with gorgeous teak joinery bathed in glorious natural light. Side and rear power-opening windows flood the interior with fresh breezes and sunlight, highlighting the sustainably grown tight-grain teak and tasteful natural materials. Classical furnishings and materials blend with modern upgrades to the galley and heads in a space that is ergonomic, highly usable, and truly spacious. Various configurations are available.

The yacht will come with either a two- or three-stateroom layout, and artisans will fit the interior with sustainably grown tight-grain teak and complementary fabrics.

The GB54 will have a fully infused hull with a sharp forefoot and semi-displacement warped shape. The design is meant to stay in the water and slice through it, a consistency of the line that started with the GB60.

The interior of the GB54 will combine the attributes of traditional yacht interiors with contemporary styling and, as always, the craftsmanship that has been a hallmark of every Grand Banks yacht.
