A CLASSIC REDEFINED!

Celebrated as ‘Best New Powerboat’ on making its US debut, the PB50 is a contemporary classic – sweeping lines above the surface hiding a unique hull form beneath. The semi displacement, monocoque design combined with an unusually low centre of gravity ensures comfort and stability that is the envy of every yacht in this class.

Cruise Speed

Cruising range.

SHARPER LINES, SOFTER RIDE!

The fine entry into the water of our unique, V-Warp hull lets the PB50 slice through the waves instead of bouncing over them.

The ensuing lack of resistance leads to levels of speed, efficiency and reduced fuel burn that you’ll find unmatched in this category of motor yacht.

ENJOY WIDE OPEN SPACES

On a PB50 you can enjoy the outdoors while you are indoors. Huge, power windows allow the light to flood in and create an uninterrupted, flowing space between the salon and cockpit.

Guests will enjoy a sense of togetherness even when they’re sitting apart.

As with every Palm Beach fleet member, the PB85 is constructed using the yard’s proprietary V-Warp technology. The strong and efficient hull is a sandwich of foam, e-glass, and epoxy resin, while the streamlined superstructure is made from lightweight carbon fiber. The sleek exterior enhances overall performance, increasing range and improving fuel efficiency. In fact, the yard says its cruisers consume 70 percent less fuel than other yachts in their class.

The PB85 is pretty fast, too. ​​Powered by Volvo Penta engines, the yacht has a cruising speed of 23 knots, a top speed of 26 knots, and a range of 200 nautical miles at 21 knots. Twin MAN V-8s result in a top speed of 27.5 knots, a cruising speed of 25 knots, and a range of 650 nautical miles.

“At Palm Beach, we’re constantly improving, innovating, pushing ourselves, and exceeding industry expectations—the PB85 is the result of countless hours of hard work by our entire team,” adds Richards. “I am extremely proud of what we’ve been able to achieve.”

No details regarding delivery, but fingers crossed the PB85 hits the seas soon.

Palm Beach Motor Yachts enters superyacht realm and announces new flagship yacht PB85

Australian yacht builder Palm Beach Motor Yachts has announced its new 27.6-metre flagship known as Palm Beach 85 (PB85).

A statement from the yard said: "Entering the superyacht realm is a natural progression for Palm Beach Motor Yachts, the acclaimed builder established by ocean-racing champion and performance yacht builder, Mark Richards. The Palm Beach 85 (PB85) is designed to surpass all industry standards in luxury, onboard comfort and performance, elevating the brand's custom offerings to a new level."

A key focus of the PB85 is comfortable crew well-being with spacious living quarters as well as well-appointed living areas. The main deck is characterised by a convenient and sociable single-level living and entertaining space, including the saloon, which stretches from the forward helm station to the covered cockpit. Meanwhile, a generous aft deck offers exceptional views and easy access to the water.

Located amidships, the full-beam owner's stateroom boasts a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom, ample storage and large windows.

PB85 is constructed using Palm Beach's proprietary V-Warp Technology, a design and construction philosophy developed through Richards' experience as an ocean-racing champion and performance yacht designer.

With the aim of enhancing overall performance, the hull is fused directly to the carbon fibre structure, bulkheads, deck and superstructure of the vessel. Key features of the V-Warp Technology hull include a fine entry, a graceful curvature amidships and minimal deadrise at the transom, helping to reduce drag while adding buoyancy, stability and lift.

Speaking of the PB85, Richards said: "The Palm Beach 85 represents a dream achieved. When I was a young man working on the docks in Sydney, I would watch the yachts cruising through the harbour and knew that one day I'd do the same on my own boat. When the Palm Beach 85 splashes, she'll be the largest yacht we've built and will represent a new level of luxury, fuel efficiency and performance in the yachting industry.”

He continued: "At Palm Beach, we’re constantly improving, innovating, pushing ourselves and exceeding industry expectations - the PB85 is the result of countless hours of hard work by our entire team. I am extremely proud of what we’ve been able to achieve."
