The "haute couture" interpretation of the Performance vocation, forged in our Fano atelier.

Grand Soleil PLUS 80: the art of bespoke speed

The Grand Soleil 80 Plus is not a flagship. It is an inspiration that takes shape in the "haute couture" atelier of Fano. It represents the absolute pinnacle of the Grand Soleil Plus philosophy, conceived to interpret the purest Performance vocation. This 80-footer is the answer to an owner who is not looking for a product, but a dialogue; who desires the adrenaline, responsiveness and helm sensitivity of a racer, but transposed to the scale of a superyacht. It is a sartorial work, where total personalisation is not an option, but the foundation of the project. Here, the vocation for speed is expressed through a light and rigid construction, an uncompromising naval architecture and an iconic design. Every GS 80 Plus is unique: the extension of its client's vision, translated into reality by our master craftsmen. It is the art of elegant speed, a masterpiece that dominates the sea with grace and strength, fusing pure performance with the discreet luxury of bespoke comfort.

Our mission in Fano is not to build an 80-footer. It is to shape pure speed into a sartorial work of art. We give form to your vision of performance, creating a reactive and powerful superyacht that bears your indelible signature.

Waterlines born for speed

The aesthetics of power: hydrodynamic efficiency and unmistakable style for the Performance vocation.

The design of the Grand Soleil 80 Plus is a declaration of intent: aesthetics are subordinated to the Performance vocation. Every line is pure, every volume is sculpted for superior hydrodynamic efficiency. The profile, aggressive and sleek, is accentuated by a coachroof skilfully lowered by 150 mm, a choice that not only defines its sporting character, but optimises its aerodynamics. Naval architecture is the heart of this vision: the hull is optimised for a clean release of water flows, guaranteeing impressive stability at high speeds. But performance is nothing without control. For this reason, the fixed keel with a draft of 3.95 metres and the deep single rudder ensure lightning responsiveness and absolute sensitivity, translating every gust into pure acceleration. This is not merely design; it is naval engineering dressed in haute couture, created in Fano. It is a yacht that offers authentic sensations, a visceral connection with the sea, balancing power with timeless elegance.

"Race-ready" ergonomics and superyacht convivial areas, in a perfect balance between adrenaline and relaxation.

The deck: absolute control, sartorial comfort

The deck of the GS 80 Plus embodies the dual soul of the Performance vocation: total control and absolute comfort. The "double cockpit" layout is a masterpiece of ergonomics that masterfully separates the manoeuvring area from the guest area. Aft, the command centre is found: an area optimised for "race-ready" sailing, where visibility is perfect and every manoeuvre is centralised to allow a reduced crew to manage the power of the yacht with precision and safety. Further forward, the guest area is an exclusive terrace on the sea, an oasis of luxury and conviviality. The extended benches and generous sunbathing areas create a protected lounge. Every detail is designed for fluidity: wide walkways, flush deck and custom solutions, such as the optional relaxation area forward. Living the deck of the GS 80 Plus means having full control of a high-performance racer and, a moment later, enjoying the relaxation of a superyacht during offshore "fast cruising".

Visual

The "light" luxury of performance

Functional elegance and premium materials, in a perfect balance between constructive lightness and bespoke comfort.

The interiors of the Grand Soleil 80 Plus are the tangible expression of sartorial luxury at the service of the Performance vocation. The harmony between function and sophistication is total, in an environment that reflects the sporting soul of the yacht through "lightness". This is not merely visual, but a guiding principle: creating absolute comfort without compromising responsiveness. The heart of the project is the saloon, where a skillful lowering of the floor level creates surprising volumes, generous headroom and extraordinary luminosity. This space becomes the canvas for the client, personalised in the Fano atelier. The layout, with the magnificent owner's suite forward and three double guest cabins with private bathroom, is designed for offshore "fast cruising". The design excellence is revealed in the separation of flows: the aft area houses the galley, crew area and chart table, with independent access, guaranteeing total privacy for the owner and their guests.
