PUBLISHERS COMMENT

A PASSAGEMAKER FOR ALL SEASONS • When Grand Banks launched the GB60 in 2017, it quickly struck a chord with serious long-range cruisers. Fast-forward to today, and the all-new Grand Banks 62 takes everything owners loved about the GB60 and pushes it further - offering the space, comfort, and performance Grand Banks are renowned for. It’s a yacht built for all oceans and all seasons, just as comfortable island-hopping around the Bay of Islands as it is crossing the Tasman or venturing through the Pacific.
