This 2023 Grand Banks 54 represents one of the most sought-after models in today’s market, and opportunities to acquire a late-model, highly customized example like ADVENTUROUS are exceptionally rare.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D11s with IPS950s, she delivers the performance, efficiency, and ease of handling that have made the GB54 a benchmark in her class—further strengthened by Volvo Penta warranty coverage in place through September 2027.
What truly sets this vessel apart is the level of thought and refinement behind her build. Commissioned by a highly experienced yachtsman and repeat Grand Banks owner, every decision reflects a deep understanding of how these boats are actually used—resulting in a platform that is not only beautifully executed, but fully dialed in for serious cruising.
Her galley-down configuration creates a more open, refined salon, while accommodations are thoughtfully arranged with a midship owner’s suite and forward VIP, each featuring ensuite heads with oversized stall showers—delivering a level of comfort rarely found in this size range.
From timeless finishes to thoughtfully executed, owner-driven enhancements and system redundancies, this is a yacht designed to be lived on and operated with ease. She presents in exceptional condition and is fully turnkey for the season ahead.
Notable Custom Upgrades & Owner-Focused Enhancements:
Teak & holly sole throughout — timeless Grand Banks craftsmanship with a rich, traditional finish that elevates the entire interior
Enlarged stall showers in both heads — meaningfully improved comfort for extended time aboard
Humphree stabilization fins — superior roll reduction underway and at anchor for a smoother, more comfortable ride
Salon port L-settee with integrated trundle berth — true guest sleeping capability without sacrificing everyday usability or dealing with loose cushions
Hi/Lo dining table with custom opposing loveseats (no inboard armrests) — easier access, more comfortable dining, and better use of space
Custom TV relocation to starboard window ledge — improves salon flow and enhances overall layout functionality
Standing helm with no step-up — more natural operation with improved visibility and safer movement underway
Dual Racor filtration for engines and generator — added redundancy and reliability for offshore cruising
Enlarged cockpit docking station cabinet (flush with cabin side) — significantly improved sightlines and control when docking
Dometic XTC 120 watermaker — increased independence and extended cruising capability
Starlink connectivity — seamless connectivity for work, communication, and entertainment anywhere
Custom Phantom insect screens on all opening windows — allows the boat to be fully opened up at anchor without compromising comfort
Custom Poseidon blinds in salon — clean, tailored finish enhancing both privacy and interior aesthetics
ADVENTUROUS offers a rare opportunity to step into a fully dialed-in, late-model GB54 immediately—without the wait of a build cycle.
For buyers who understand the scarcity of this model—and the value of a properly spec’d, intelligently upgraded, and meticulously maintained example—this is not one that will sit.
