She has multiple seating areas, stowage for watersports gear, food and cold drinks, dining areas inside and out, shelter from the sun, and overnight accommodations for two couples, a stand up wet head, a galley, two watersports staging points on a huge platform – and outboard power.

Captain's Report


Grand Banks 60 Skylounge:


New Direction for a Great Old Name


Grand Banks 60 Skylounge
A look at the main deck on the new Grand Banks 60 Skylounge.

The main-deck layout of the Grand Banks 60 Skylounge with the galley placed forward shows off the boat’s excellent – and innovative – use of space. Note there is an L-shaped settee in the cockpit of this layout as well as a booth dinette or a second lounge area with cocktail table, an alternative design from the boat we tested, adding entertainment space aft. Lavish use of bleached teak, beautifully finished and fitted – a company trademark – have to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Jeanneau NC 1095
Jeanneau NC 1095

The new Jeanneau 1095 is a boat that checks off virtually all of the boxes a new owner wants: twin outboard engines, main cabin with sunroof hatches, 3 cabins below, head with separate shower and electric toilet, sliding door at the helm, convertible companion seat, galley with stovetop, large opening side windows, sliding aft glass door, excellent helm visibility, standing headroom at helm, etc. You get the general idea. Oh, and one more box to check – affordable.

Ocean Alexander 112 Tri-Level Motor Yacht:


Main Deck Master Surrounded by Glass


Ocean Alexander 112 Tri-Level Motor Yacht
Ocean Alexander 112 Tri-Level Motor Yacht

This picture of the master stateroom speaks for itself. But what is not seen is the master head of the Ocean Alexander 112 Tri-Level Motor Yacht. It is four steps down the companionway seen in the background of this photo. Once there, a marble Jacuzzi tub forward on the centerline frames the space, with his-and-hers above-counter wash basins to port and starboard. A water closet with a bidet is to port, and to starboard is a large, totally marble-lined shower stall for two with bench seat and glass door.
