The Grand Banks trademark aesthetic is unmistakable in its 60 Skylounge. Side-to, the yacht\u2019s lines descend gently down from the wave-splitting bow to amidships, where a moderate porpoise-shaped curve lowers its lines further, adding movement while maintaining the yacht\u2019s graceful profile. It\u2019s a timeless look. It\u2019s unmistakable. It\u2019s a Grand Banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its lines might appear traditional; however, under its skin, the 60 Skylounge is anything but. It\u2019s a sprightly, modern trawler<\/a> constructed with today\u2019s most advanced materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take, for example, its deck, cabin house and sky lounge: all are composed of infused carbon fiber. The benefit is reduced weight aloft and a lower center of gravity. This aids in its impressive performance, whether you\u2019re looking to make passages over blue water or island-hop in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grand Banks\u2019 yachts have always been known for their long-range ability, and the 60 Skylounge is no exception. In fact, at 10 knots, you won\u2019t have to stop at a fuel dock for about 2,000 nautical miles, unless you just want to drop in to say hi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n The Skylounge is the ideal combination of business and comfort.<\/span>\n Grand Banks<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n

And the 60 Skylounge has impressive speed too. To that end, standard twin 900 hp Volvo Penta D13 diesels in a straight-shaft configuration propel this yacht to a 31-knot top-end and a 25-knot comfortable cruise. Twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS1200s are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 60 Skylounge\u2019s high-tech materials and sporty performance point the way to the builder\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
