The new GRAND BANKS 59 ALEUTIAN RP has all the beauty of a classic trawler, and all the speed of a sport boat since she is able to hit 25 knots easily with good fuel economy.
The full name is the GRAND BANKS 59 ALEUTIAN RP, which stands for raised pilothouse, and this is the first collaboration between Grand Banks and the distinguished naval architecture firm of Sparkman & Stephens. Inside and out, the GB 59 Aleutian RP impresses with its timeless style, intelligent design, and luxurious amenities. Designed and packed from bow to stern with thoughtfully appointed features, the GB 59 RP represents the Grand Banks cruising experience at its finest.
The design brief was straightforward but challenging: create a yacht with high level of craftsmanship and performance parameters, but with styling dictated by the traditional Grand Banks look with a big Portuguese bridge forward, full walk-around side decks and an expansive aft deck tucked under the flying bridge overhang.
Performance and luxury, form and function come together in perfect harmony aboard the GB 59 Aleutian RP. With a modified V hull and powered with twin 1,150 Hp CAT diesels, the GB 59 RP features a variety of speeds from the classic trawler economical speed at 8 knots, to 25 knots without ever sacrificing steadiness, quietness or comfort. Pilot from the lower helm and enjoy sweeping visibility, or from the flybridge, where ample seating and panoramic views create an irresistible setting for your family and friends.
Inside, there is the expected split-level saloon/pilothouse arrangement but, unlike some yachts that separate these areas with a bulkhead, the GRAND BANKS 59 ALEUTIAN RP is open from pilothouse windows to saloon doors. This creates a very pleasant and airy feel, especially as the oversized windows provide a great view even when you're seated.
The stylish accommodations are reached via a curving stairwell from the pilothouse that leads to a small foyer. Aft is the full-beam master stateroom with an offset island berth. The ensuite head is notable for a stall shower. Forward, the VIP cabin also has a private head with a capacious shower, and the mid cabin (which uses the day head with shower) is fitted with a pair of single berths.
Life is equally good up on the flying bridge, which is divided into the bridge proper as well as a boat deck aft. The skipper and a companion get pedestal Stidd seating, and another forward-facing companion seat is to port. Just aft are an L-shaped settee and a facing loveseat that has its own cocktail table. The standard fiberglass hardtop covers the living areas of the bridge, and it's beautifully finished with moulded undersides that contain stereo speakers and recessed lighting.
Underway, the GRAND BANKS 59 ALEUTIAN RP is extremely seaworthy and predictable, and you will be impressed by her silence since a lot of effort has been spent on soundproofing.
All in all, the GRAND BANKS 59 ALEUTIAN RP is a fine example of an emerging subspecies: the performance trawler.
This GRAND BANKS 59 ALEUTIAN RP has always been a private trawler boat. very comfortable, well maintained and in perfect condition.
