Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts Expand West Coast Presence with New Newport Beach Office

New Southern California office expands the brands’ factory-direct owner support network amid continued global growth

Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts announced the opening of a new sales and service office in Newport Beach, California, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to supporting owners and prospective customers throughout key boating locations globally.

Against a backdrop of ongoing change across the premium motor yacht market, Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts continue to invest with discipline, expanding their global footprint and strengthening direct relationships with owners. Unlike many yacht manufacturers, the brands maintain factory-direct relationships with owners throughout every stage of ownership—from design and construction through commissioning, service, and long-term support.

The Newport Beach office establishes an additional regional presence for both brands and provides owners with more direct access to sales guidance, service coordination, and personalized support. Strategically located in one of the country’s premier yachting markets, the office will serve as a key hub for current and future owners from California to the Pacific Northwest.

For more than 100 years collectively, Grand Banks and Palm Beach Motor Yachts have defined a distinct approach to yacht design and ownership—combining ocean-racing-proven innovation, timeless design, and industry-leading fuel efficiency. This expansion brings that philosophy closer to owners across North America through dedicated local teams with direct access to the factory.

WHAT OWNERS SAY ABOUT GRAND BANKS

“We love our overnight trips. Recently we came down from Yamba to Sydney, about 300 nautical miles and, although we sat on 24 knots the whole way, we were only burning 100 litres (26 gallons) of fuel an hour!!! The EB44 is the best thing we’ve done for the family… we call it the ‘family wagon’”

MATT SPENCER, EASTBAY 44 OWNER

“This is my 4th Grand Banks and I’ve always liked them – they’re sea-kindly, fast and fuel efficient. But the stuff Mark Richards has done has made them even better. He’s raised the game and they’re now next generation in terms of design. My wife and I love cruising on it – each August we live onboard for 30-40 days. She feels very safe as it has a really nice ride. And we love the style and the lines.”

TOM WHIDDEN, GRAND BANKS 60 OWNER AND 8 TIMES AMERICA’S CUP PRO SAILOR.

“I was in Mexico when COVID hit and had to get home. I had an 1,100nm trip, uphill (upwind & up current) and, let me tell you, the boat did better than I did! I had to keep going day and night. Almost no boat of this size can go from Puerto Vallarta to San Diego non-stop. And thanks to the hull shape and lightweight carbon superstructure, it’s amazingly efficient.”

GARY WEISMAN, GRAND BANKS 60 OWNER

“The range of the boat had huge appeal. Because of the V-WARP Technology® hull that slips so easily through the water, the weight reduction of the carbon fibre and the new Volvo engines, we could simply go further with less stops. Of course, it saves money but the real plus is the convenience. At 10 knots I can travel for over 2000 nautical miles without refuelling. As a sailor, I don’t like to stop once I get going!”

JOHN BACON, GRAND BANKS 60 OWNER
