Representing nearly three decades of innovative Palm Beach Motor Yachts design and construction, the Palm Beach 85 is set to become the new flagship of the renowned global yacht brand.

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. Each of the nine models in the Classic Palm Beach lineup, and three in the Palm Beach GT Sports series, is completely unique, customised for each discerning owner. The three (or four) stateroom, four-head layout is perfect for cruising with friends or extended family. Options start with a Skylounge or Sedan model, as well as twin or triple engine packages, among other customizable features.

Unlike many yachts in the 80-foot range, the PB85 prioritizes crew well-being with spacious and well-appointed living areas.

Convenient and sociable single level living and entertaining space spans the entire main deck, stretching from the forward helm station to the covered cockpit.

The spacious, full-beam master stateroom amidships boasts a king bed, ensuite bath, ample storage, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light.

The PB85 is constructed using Palm Beach’s proprietary V-Warp  Technology, combining hull form, exotic construction materials, and a precise build process.

Key features of the V-Warp® Technology hull include a fine entry, a graceful curvature amidships, and minimal deadrise at the transom. These qualities reduce drag while adding buoyancy, stability, and lift, allowing the boat to reach planing speeds with minimal energy and effort. A Palm Beach V-Warp Technology hull maintains an approximate five-degree running angle throughout the entire speed curve.
