Il dinamismo diventa esclusivo

The purest expression of the Fast Cruiser, forged to measure in the Fano atelier.

Dynamism becomes exclusive

The Grand Soleil 65 Plus, in the Performance edition, is not a flagship. It is a manifesto. It is the answer to an owner who is not looking for a simple yacht, but demands a masterpiece of dynamism shaped around their own desire: pure speed. This 65-footer is a one-of-a-kind piece, where the concept of production disappears to make way for uniqueness. Its soul is expressed in a sophisticated luxury, where absolute comfort and 'light' engineering coexist thanks to cutting-edge construction solutions. Every element is optimised for the art of fast sailing. In the Fano atelier, the collaboration between the shipyard and the client shapes a yacht capable of translating every breath of wind into acceleration and every touch of the helm into a perfect trajectory. It is the promise of total control, of an absolute connection with the sea.

01 - 03

More than a yacht, it is an extension of your will. A dialogue between carbon and wind, between craftsmanship and vision. The GS 65 Plus is the act of creating the ultimate performance: yours.

Hydrodynamics at the service of speed

The aesthetics of power: efficiency, lightness and avant-garde design.

The exterior design of the Grand Soleil 65 Plus is the aesthetic translation of its impulse towards speed. The Fano atelier has sculpted waterlines that flee from every compromise, optimised for superior hydrodynamic efficiency. Compared to other interpretations, the deck profile here is defined by a low, sleek, almost aggressive coachroof, which reduces aerodynamic drag and lowers the centre of gravity. The underwater hull is a masterpiece of naval engineering, with a pronounced V at the bow that cuts through the wave and a minimised wetted surface to reduce drag. This translates into swift acceleration and immediate helm responsiveness, even in light breezes. Construction is the heart of this performance: the hull, laminated 100% in-house, uses a vacuum infusion process with vinyl ester resin and unidirectional carbon fabrics. This advanced technique guarantees a monolithic structure, exceptionally rigid and lightweight, that transmits every single sensation, from wind to waves, directly to the helmsman, for absolute control.

The deck as a command bridge

'Race' ergonomics and comfort designed for fast sailing.

The deck of the Grand Soleil 65 Plus is a masterpiece of functional ergonomics, designed for the owner who experiences sailing actively. The 'Performance' soul of this yacht is expressed in a clean, essential, flush deck layout, where every manoeuvre is intuitive and immediate. Wide walkways free from obstructions ensure quick and safe movement. The cockpit is the nerve centre of control: the twin helms offer perfect visibility over the sails and the wave, with all primary controls led back within the helmsman's reach. This configuration, borrowed from racing boats, allows reactive and precise handling. At the same time, the guest area is conceived as an oasis of relaxation, a true lounge on the sea, protected and separated from the manoeuvring zones, where one can enjoy sailing in absolute comfort without ever interfering with the art of helming.

Elegance and premium materials, optimised for comfort that does not weigh on performance.

Functional luxury and 'light' engineering

Below deck, the Grand Soleil 65 Plus translates its performance character into absolute, yet intelligent, comfort. Abandoning the concept of serial production, the interiors are a work of high nautical cabinetry, where luxury is not ostentation, but the intrinsic quality of premium materials, selected also for their lightness. The dialogue between the owner and the Fano atelier is the heart of the project: every wood, every fabric, every finish is the result of a shared choice, aimed at creating an environment that is an intimate refuge and an expression of total comfort. The Performance version introduces an intelligent redesign of volumes: the lowered saloon creates a more harmonious flow towards the cabins, while the galley, moved laterally aft, frees up the more noble central area. This layout maximises the perception of space, flooded with light from the large hull windows, which enhance the artisan mastery of the finishes.

Distinctive features of the GS Plus 65

Speed-oriented naval architecture

Speed-oriented naval architecture

The waterlines are optimised for pure performance. The pronounced V at the bow cuts through the wave, while the reduced wetted surface ensures less drag and greater responsiveness in light winds, guaranteeing superior dynamic stability and immediate sailing pleasure.
Advanced carbon and vinyl ester construction

Advanced carbon and vinyl ester construction

The hull is built using vacuum infusion with vinyl ester resin, biaxial fibreglass and unidirectional carbon fabrics. This 100% in-house construction technology guarantees an exceptionally light, rigid and robust structure, which translates into sensitivity and speed.
Sporting design and sleek coachroof

Sporting design and sleek coachroof

The profile of the GS 65 Plus is defined by its sleek and tapered coachroof. A distinguishing feature of the Performance soul, this design not only confers dynamic elegance, but lowers the centre of gravity and improves the overall aerodynamics of the yacht.
Powerful and balanced sail plan
