Grand Banks yachts are well-known for their cruising capabilities; Dash was designed, built and maintained to create the ultimate owner-operated offshore-capable cruiser. The 2016 Grand Banks 72 Aleutian Raised Pilothouse is located in Newport, Rhode Island, and offered by Grand Banks Yacht Sales for $3.25 million.

The vessel is actually a true length overall of 77′ 4″ and is powered by a pair of 1,150 hp Cat C18 ACERT engines. The top cruise is 19 knots at 80 percent engine load, and the top speed is 21.5 knots. At 10 knots, and with a 10 percent reserve, the range is more than 1,250 miles, enough to travel from Newport, Rhode Island to Palm Beach, Florida without refueling.

The aft lower cockpit has plenty of room for alfresco dining while shaded from the sun.

According to the brokerage team at Grand Banks Yacht Sales, every aspect of Dash’s layout was custom designed to maximize efficiency and use of space within the 72 foot size envelope. The master has a king-size berth with his and hers heads connected by a full-size shower with 60-psi water pressure. The salon has a formal dining table layout. The pilothouse has a chef’s galley and a rider bench with fold-out table for friends, family or crew to enjoy the longer runs. The lower station is a completely viable station to run from at any speed, including docking. The flybridge has a new enclosure and also has twin grills, an additional icemaker and a very open social seating layout. There is a large captain’s quarters with private access for deliveries and longer runs which occasionally require assistance; this space doubles as stowage.

Dash’s lower station has updated electronics plus Stidd seating and the builder’s signature satin-finished woodwork.
