Let’s say there’s a dating-style smartphone app for matching boats with prospective owners. Perhaps your profile reads something like this: Cruising couple seeks vessel for long journeys across all sorts of seas. Potential match must serve as a cozy and comfortable home, and be mindful of and efficient with our fuel funds. Our ideal companion will take us on our adventures reliably and confidently, for many thousands of miles.

Sure, you might get some responses from cabin cruisers or express-style boats, but your true love connection — the one you’re going to commit to spend your boating life with — is likely going to be a trawler or trawler-style boat. These seaworthy and efficient boats give you the personality and the pretty, with spacious and comfortable interior accommodations, efficient and robust hull forms, and exterior deck spaces that allow you to relax and soak in your surroundings.

GRAND BANKS 60

The Grand Banks 60 isn’t the biggest boat Grand Banks builds — the 72 Aleutian RP holds that title — but it’s arguably one of the sleekest, prettiest and most luxurious boats the builder has ever brought to market, all while retaining the classic, good-looking lines for which the builder is celebrated.

Guest areas include three staterooms and a main saloon. Owners can choose a saloon layout with the galley far aft or forward. Accommodations are a master stateroom with a king-size island berth and en-suite head, a guest stateroom with an island berth in the bow and a guest stateroom with twin berths.
