About Grand Banks Yachts

Grand Banks Yachts began its journey in 1956 as American Marine, Ltd. Founder Robert J. Newton and his sons, John and Whit, were running a custom boatyard on Junk Bay in Hong Kong, building heavy sailboats and big motor yachts to designs by the world's top marine architects - Sparkman & Stephens, William Garden, Nat Herreshoff, Ray Hunt and others.

Grand Banks Yachts and the character they represent have long appealed to yachtsmen around the world. While we’ll always stay true to this heritage, we are too excited about the future to stay put. Enthusiasm compels us to go boldly forward, designing yachts that defy expectations and change the industry while continuing to reflect our passion for the sea. Join us for the unfolding of our new story.
