Rarely does the opportunity to own an iconic vessel, like the Grand Banks 53 Aleutian, present itself. With only a limited number of boats built in this model range, true Grand Banks enthusiasts will recognize the rarity and value of this opportunity, especially with this gem available right here in New Zealand. Recently serviced and in possession of a clean hull certificate, this vessel offers a turn-key opportunity for you to enjoy the upcoming summer in sophisticated style and privacy.

This Grand Banks 53 is further distinguished by its extended hull and custom-built Carbon Fibre Hydraulic Swim Platform, boasting an impressive overall length of 64.63 feet (19.7 meters). The vessel has been the pride and joy of a single owner since new, and it has been meticulously maintained by the industry-renowned Motor Yacht Service Centre for its entire lifespan. A comprehensive service history, dating back 12 years, is available to prospective buyers, highlighting the impeccable care this yacht has received.

It was important to the owner to have this vessel in new condition year round. This vessel was in the our annual 250 Point Service Plan and not one maintenance item was ignored or deferred. Cabana is a stunning example of how a Luxury Motor Yacht should be cared for and a testament to the owners passion for this vessel.
