It was fantastic to have you aboard Elliott. We’re very pleased you enjoyed the tour, and thank you for a wonderfully detailed video tour for the MB&Y audience. Both the Grand Banks 85, and the Grand Banks 54 will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival later in the year.
Many thanks. We’re correcting the price btw
Gorgeous boat! Stunning!
A really in-depth tour of the brand new Grand Banks 85 elliot, Grand Bank's have thought of everything here and perhaps lots more for each individual customers needs! A wonderful tour as per usual from MBY and their very own North American technical contributer!
Thank you Elliott for this great show of this Grand banks 85. What a beautiful yacht this is with the dubbel engine room a crew space that look very nice everything what you want on a yacht you find on this boat I like even the bunk room by the master a great idea. In my opinion the best show of MBY of this year by far thanks again Elliott
This is the most impressive new design I’ve seen. Personally, I don’t love it all. But oh my goodness, what great creative minds are at work. Congratulations.
Trippy editing
My favorite yacht and video of the last three years. It’s actually calming to watch for some reason. Love the grandkid touch.
Very nice boat. I m really impressed. One off the finest 85 foot i have seen. Amazing how GB have managed to change the style to a whole new way of thinking. Very nice for the crew too.
Great tour of this magnificent yacht! I think I found my new dream boat (ignoring the price) I love how the space has been used. Really fresh innovative thinking, using the latest materials and techniques available. The build quality is second to none. The crew area is phenomenal! Huge respect for the designers. Well done GB
In the first minute, 7 million for a Grand banks, I'm thinking no chance, 5 minutes in to the video, I like that. Couple of things i did not like was the galley taking away the views of going forward from guest area and no portholes in the furthest forward cabin and "GB" plastered everywhere. Other than that the fake teak flooring in even the electrical and mechanical area, the fit and finish including in the crew quarters was just spot on. Thank you for the video.
You're paying for the highest quality craftsmanship in the industry, efficient travel, and probably the most thought-out hull design on the market. It's not a boat for me, but for many, it is worth the huge price tag.
Adding on: grand banks are known for being customizable in a million ways. I'm sure all of those grand banks logos were requested by the owner, as I haven't seen this many before.
@blewyd Your use of "sure" is contrary to the meaning. Try "suppose".
@@unfurling3129 I'm good. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think you know much about boats or grand banks.
@blewyd U missed my point entirely. Ego loves doing that.
I don't think u know much about sure or suppose.
@@unfurling3129 funny you mentioned ego considering you replied. I do know very well. Don't need your input. I know exactly what I'm saying here. I know grand banks pretty well.
I have enjoyed a lot of boat's
This one screams appreciation,
For all a board 😁. It gives room for fun!! Never will folks, feel squeezed, it is so accommodating 😊 this G B is truly going to be filled with laughter, adventure, memories, too cherish for a lifetime ! Congratulations too all.
Bon voyage
You really know when there's a boat that makes you say Oh 😲 wow. It's a great WOW. The decor the planning the way the space is used has created a unique boat that's a modern twist to a well liked and much love boat. Congratulations you've done something very special.
She is a beauty! Fit and finish is exceptional but even so it is surpassed by the design and engineering.
Very good video!!
I have admired Grand Banks for 40 years.
Wow, a VERY nice tour of an amazing boat. Thank you!!
Totally thought that the title was clickbait! Usually the 'you won't believe...' type titles lead to a let down. But I would never have guessed a piano, so 100% justified this time.
EPIC! Great to see a solid American manufacturer using cutting edge techniques. This boat is simply fantastic.
NOT American - built in Australia.
The Grand Banks factory moved to Johor Bahru, Malaysia in 1995.
Those ‘paddleboards’ would be kayaks....
Love everything about this boat! 👍👍😃
Hi Elliot. A stunning boat, metallic paint, innovative engine rooms. I think the launch on the swim platform is a transformer. Grand banks have com3 a long way an this will popular. 30 knots . . Rocket. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
Amazing design first real change in this size vessel in years.
amazing yacht tour
Absolutely beautiful and well thoughts. This is one the best designed boat I have seen.
Always loved Grand Banks, but to me this would be the ultimate boat, just amazing.
That was one wild boat🤩 loved it
What a great video.💯👍👍👍
What a beautiful boat!!!!
I’m impressed with the innovative engineering on this boat and you’re doing a great job in describing explaining the engineering.
It's like a Mini Super yacht...❤️😍❤️
Fantastic use of space, not least technical space. Nice to see some real innovation here. And for sure will improve reliability of house systems that they are not next to the hot engines…
Beautiful boat. Don't mind the old Haterus style engine rooms. Wished they would have skipped the IPS drives and stayed with shaft and screw. Boats that size are hard to steer at slow speeds with an IPS. Good video.
Regular shafts on v drives are also available
Really? My experience with IPS is that steering at slow speeds one of the few things that they do well...
😮$7.5 million. For that price you could get an enormous 80ft Sunreef catamaran which has 4000 square feet of living space (371 square meters).
Really like this one 👍🇬🇧❤️
This is a great tour of an awesome yacht. Please do look at changing your camera equipment to so thing that more wide angle as the view felt constantly cropped.
Thanks for the kind words and honest feedback, we'll take it on board for next time.
Practice your camera work, it's pointed down far too much. For example, you showed the view from the helm out of the windscreen and it was still pointed below the horizon.
I agree. It is so annoying that I stopped watching the video. He needs to take this video down and redo the entire thing. With the camera adjusted.
My neck hurts from looking down.
Check out the Aquaholic review
Just... Wow!
Looking cool.
Really good review marred by some of the camera work. The fish-eye is still too extreme (which always strikes me as ironic on a boat) Nick makes this look so easy. So glad that a UK based publication is having a US based correspondent. Don't let the criticism get you down - your presence is much appreciated. I would love all sorts of more details, as in more on the hull. You mention Kevlar, I presume it is in the hull. I would love more details on the headroom - people keep saying "look there's plenty" - I"m 6 feet 6 inches tall, that is 1.98 meters, Six foot three headroom is not plenty for me. Also the Air Draft is useful, but I don't see this being an inland boat. Thank You so much for the review.
I’m with you on the fish eye. It makes it almost unwatchable.
Actually it is unwatchable!
Awful camera work. Fish eye added to his obsession with filming the floor.
Entering the cabin he cuts the room at cabinetry level.
Thanks for the honest feedback, we'll take it all on board for next time!
All taken onboard, unfortunately my camera work does need improvement, however I am not a cameraman nor a journalist by trade. Nick is, and a very good one. Working on it though. I am and have been running all different types of powerboats and motor cruisers for 27 years in Europe and the US for the past 12 years, so I hope I am giving a good honest view. Grand Banks were not too forward about disclosure on what and where materials are used in the hull. Kevlar is usually used to reinforce stress areas around a hull however. Headroom for you would be fine for you. Other than the aft and forward engineering spaces, I don't remember anything under 7 feet.
@@MotorBoatYachting He's no worse than Hugo and is getting better. Hugo is getting better also. The US has a very different boating culture than Europe. Center Consoles are the rule, and the small "sport" yacht isn't a thing anymore. And, if we have a sport boat it is for some sport, like fishing. It's nice to get reviews that aren't all just cooing. One of the great issues with Nick is that he never as any criticism which is why boat companies love him.
Great looking boat, lots of different ideas about the space usage! The ONLY thing negative I would say is the crews cabin. Probably much better to have bunk beds. Bu being a custom boat I'm sure you can order that. Nice boat over all.
Epic accommodation……. design flair in abundance 😎
If only………..
So nice.
Great waterfront property.
What a great boat!! This would be the dreamed boat for all those who want to enjoy the sea and not lose privacy in front of comfort. you could handle it without professional crew's help-
Interesting boat. The camera was pointed toward the floor throughout the tour though, making it difficult to really get a sense of it.
Yep I noticed that too (I was almost getting a sore neck just watching ;-)
Nice review wow not your normal yougurt pot stunning boat
It's insanely stunning.
but I think it is divided strangely.
There is a lot of wasted space that could have been used for larger cabins.
It is probably so big you can not sail it yourself.
How fun is that.
but great praise for making proper conditions for the crev
Agreed strangely laid out yacht
You can single hand this boat easy.it has a stay feature with thrusters and I pod engines.
Why would Grand Banks still use fisher panda generators. I understand if your tight on room but on an 85 foot yacht it just looks cheap.
The other thing I keep seeing is the Volvo IPS packaged boats. But I’ve never met a single person that likes the pods weather it be Volvo or another manufacturer. Don’t get me started on Volvo’s sea water strainers that break open and hydra lock the engine.
Stunning boat, would love you to do it again though as did not really get a sence of size as camera pointing at the floor. Think this boat will sell very well
very nice boat pity about the audio and camera fades
Perhaps I've missed something but I believe there is not enough freezer or refrigeration space for long passages. Otherwise it is very nice!
Nice
Why no restroom on the main floor or flybridge? Going downstairs is a long way to go to relieve yourself IMO. Other than that bit of nitpicking it is a stunning boat! I also like the way the engine compartments were divided. Very good idea!
Off the side, that’s always a choice.
Great tour but perhaps lift the camera up more often. Feels like we’re looking at the floor for most of the video
Nice to see something different. If I'm being picky the outdoor space (especially at the bow) looks uninspiring, but I guess I am comparing to Med style boats.
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
I feel like your seeing this for the first time and off a bit in some of this one.
What a gorgeous boat. Oh if I was just able to get my hands on by $20,000,000.70 by and the rest of it just run it for a couple of years I’d be in good shape. Thank you for your time will expensive for me.
Looks like a hunt design.. Revolutionary... Lol
I want it. I am at one minute and I already know I want it.
The intro of the boat gliding majestically through the water isn't even this boat.
Just diabolical camera work! I feel as though I am 4ft tall with the camera attached to my chest and pointing downwards. Yes, a stunning boat but I had to stop watching the video out of sheer frustration. If you want to see the master at work, visit Nick Birdham’s “Aquaholic’ channel to see how to do it right.
Were there any ceilings anywhere on that boat? Great views of the decks, though.
And wish he showed us the plans Grand Banks left there to show with flybridge version and where galley would be with a downstairs full helm
Not being nasty as I know he’s know just needs to watch nick and jack videos to see people want basic specs ranges and other options layouts if so drastically different
The flybridge is an open upper deck version. The layout stays the same, single helm on the flybridge. Galley remains the same, only accommodation below has changes with the full beam master as mentioned and a couple of other small options lower decks only.
Mashaallah❤️
So adaptive RV set up into boat building
Absolutely amazing vessel, do you know anyone that needs a captain for one of these, seriously I’m available!
I don’t know if it would be worth having a day head on the Sky lounge area but to me it seems odd that you have to go down a level to use the lavatory as one was not built as standard. I also wonder if teak throughout might be a bit lighter and not make the boat feel a bit smaller as it were.
My expectation given the composite hull is this boat will have been built like its sailing equivalents and your wood finishes will be laminates on light stable composit structural carcase materials... Power to Wt ratio is what they have sort to achieve and cruising range at passage making speeds.
Im quite surprised that they didnt go down the Hybrid Diesel
Electric route but that might be an option that some will consider. That would allow you to ditch the gensets the main engines function being as more efficient propulsive generators for Electric motors or even lighter and more efficient DeepSpeed... Electrojet propulsion units. Which sit under the hull with only the cables and or steering mechanisms inside. A lot more compact, quieter, simpler and lighter. Than mechanical IPS drives.
Great review but hard to watch , camera killing me .
Thanks for a good presentation and thoughts about this wonderful boat. But you need to get a better camera with good light adjustment and really work on your camera angle, try not to concentrate on the floor, lift it up. Keep up the good work.
Okay... I'm almost halfway through the video (7:12), and my head is constantly tilted up because your video is constantly pointing down. Subconsciously, I am trying to move the camera up to see more and now my neck is hurting. You never see the ceiling! How frustrating! Just an FYI for you.
Duly noted
I'm pretty sure MJM has been making their hulls in a very similar process for going on 15 years now.
Absolutely right, it’s a process that’s been around for quite a while and is very costly to set up. There is a significant amount of refinements to the process from a number of builders. This one is particularly clever on a boat this size eg using carbon fibre for the entire above deck superstructure and balancing the hull for maximum efficiency.
Yes, they have. Grand Banks took over Palm Beach yachts. They're using their hull designs, I believe. Not sure if they used the same processes.
Camera needs a wider angle
nice yacht there! like the dual engine rooms and the lighter weight bet it get pretty good gpm usage too?? any word on that?
Astounding 57 GPH US gallons at 20 knots at 17 GPH US at 11 knots. 1000 and 3500NM effective range respectively
If you are spending £7m, gph may not be of concern.
@@gaycha6589 with the price of diesel yeah it is always a concern.. how else can i pay for maintenance if i don't save somewhere 😂😜👍👍
Nice boat, nice floor..., next time hold the camera at eyelevel please..
Not sure that I have seen a boat worth so far less than it's asking price, ever.
Suggestion: Change the FOV of your camera for a wider shot. It is a bit to hard to see the inside.
If I ever win the lottery man
What size crew would typically be on this size yacht and what would their duties be?
You'd probably have a crew of 2 - captain and chef
@@MotorBoatYachting Thanks
is this boat blue water able
can you cross pacific or atlantic safely?
Not quite enough range for either. But certainly the Caribbean and back from Florida
Why no windows in the VIP?
Cant believe the price tag?
I’m going to guess - hot tub?
What is it burning at 21 nts.
57 GPH (US) - 216 litres at 11knots, about 3 times that at 21 knots
Descent walkthrough, invest in a mic.
The interior looks like a catamaran
Man and wife go to see the boat. Man goes to 1. The helm 2. The engine room 3. The cockpit. Women goes to 1. Galley 2. Staterooms.
If they like it and can afford it, they talk and papers are signed. Been their many times.
Nice boat but TINY for a 85 footer
It's not for me. Grand Banks is trying to cut in between two classes and IMO not succeeding in either. It's not really a trawler, it's not a cruiser, I really don't know what it's main aim is. I'd take a corresponding size/price Ocean Alexander, Outer Reef, or Cheoy Lee any day.
The boat is nice . . . . . more tech, more expensive repairs. Also, the day head seems to be a bit too far from the helm.
For $8.5 million, I didn't see where the vessel is equipped with a sea keeper nor a day head up in the helm.
Humphree Zero speed stabiliser fins.
For 85 feet and no lower helm the main deck saloon is very small with tv opposite! And accommodation only squeezing in that small kids 4th cabin is very badly used space ! You should have 4 full size cabins with 6 to7 feet headroom! I actually think space has not been optimised for her size; the main deck could be so much more open and spacious! To much cabinets along port side opposite dinning table so remove them and put dinning table on port side and exstent saloon couches and open it all up! No bow seating or sunpad ! So only exterior dinning in aft cockpit and a little seating on flybride for 85 feet! Sorry this boat is terribly designed by owner but everyone has there own taste! No question on build quality though! Looks beautifully crafted! God bless🙏💚 and happy sailing all 🛥⚓
Hi Maree, thanks for commenting.
The boat has 4 full cabins. Large VIP forward. 2 either side of the forward companionway. The 5th. Small cabin was added to accommodate the owners young grand children.
filmed with a cheap wide angle camera or phone? how many million dollar boat?
What's in the owners cabin? I watched the beginning of the video but the issue wasn't adressed. The rest seems just like an ordinary yacht for the price.
A piano! Not the kind of thing you usually find on a boat of this size.
Starting at 7.5 million dollars… hmmm.
There's no way I would buy this boat compared to my older Grand Banks thanks but no thanks I'll just stick with the citation for traveling get somewhere fast
Nice boat, only one big problem. Not made in America.
I am not a fan of the pod drives, otherwise it is a nice boat. Thank you.
Agreed - that is a lot of energy to send it multiple directions. I'll take my straight shafts and props any day.
Other than the price, the problem with this yacht is that in 20 years I wouldn't see owners drilling the carbon fiber or marvellous wood to customize their boats with extra storage. The beauty of GB is that for me. Nice boat but not a soon to be classic.
I like it but I can’t buying it because I’m Russian I will buy from my on country
Hang in there, buddy. I'm sure it's tough living there now.
Not a very innovative interior design for 85 foot boat. Even with Volvo engines only 3 cabins.. The watermaker is under the forward cabins, this will be very loud. The galley is also a compromise for a boat of this size and keep in mind there is no lower helm.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. For an 85’ yacht it lacks overall space. The entire layout is just odd.
@@Ognir1962 I think it's because it's meant to be owner/operator oriented. Not a charter boat, trying to cram as many people as possible on it.
Top quality modern water makers are almost silent. 4 cabins is an option. As are multiple galley/saloon layouts.
Why is this so clunky edited? This marvellous boat deserves better
