TOORA LOORA is an outstanding example of the highly respected Aleutian 53 built by Grand Banks, combining elegant design with exceptional cruising capability. Her spacious three-stateroom, two-head layout features a full-beam master suite, an inviting salon, and an on-deck galley integrated within the expansive raised pilothouse. A generous aft deck, wide walk-around side decks, and a large flybridge create exceptional spaces for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining. Below, a full-beam stand-up engine room and utility area provide excellent access and functionality rarely found in yachts of this size.

Blending classic Grand Banks styling with impressive performance, TOORA LOORA delivers comfortable living spaces alongside true long-range cruising ability. Her hull provides a stable, quiet ride at both displacement speeds and at her 20+ knot top end. Powered by low-hour Cummins QSM11 engines, she cruises efficiently at 12–15 knots, with the ability to reach a brisk 18-knot cruise when desired.

These desirable GB53 Aleutians do not come up often or last long on the market, making TOORA LOORA a rare offering. She is nicely updated and current on all mechanical services, making her ready to cruise this summer. She is offered for sale by an owner who has had multiple Grand Banks yachts and has finally decided to sell her due to a desire to spend more time ashore and downsize. She is in beautiful condition and will not disappoint upon inspection.
