Palm Beach GT60 Jet Drive debuts at Newport Boat Show

Palm Beach Motor Yachts continues its 30th anniversary celebrations with a world-first debut at the Newport International Boat Show. The GT60 Jet Drive, designed for shallow Northeast waters, pairs HamiltonJet propulsion with Palm Beach craftsmanship. Alongside it, the flagship PB70 highlights the brand’s commitment to luxury, performance, and timeless design.

Palm Beach Motor Yachts will continue its 30th anniversary celebrations with a standout showcase at the Newport International Boat Show, 11–14 September, headlined by the world debut of the Palm Beach GT60 Jet Drive, the brand’s first model to feature HamiltonJet propulsion. Alongside the GT60 Jet Drive, Palm Beach Motor Yachts will also present the Palm Beach 70, a flagship yacht that embodies the company’s signature blend of performance, elegance, and timeless luxury.

For the first time, audiences will step aboard the GT60 Jet Drive, a motor yacht tailored for the Northeast. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13 diesels at 1,000-horsepower each and Hamilton HJ403 waterjets, it cruises at 35 knots with a shallow 2’9” draft, ideal for navigating New England’s lobster-trap-lined waters and other shallow coastal regions.

That collaboration resulted in a model both highly functional and beautifully refined. This GT60 Jet Drive demonstrates our commitment to customisation, bringing the customer vision into reality.”
