Alexander Marine went the extra mile recently by delivering a 2021 Palm Beach 52 Sedan from Auckland to the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia – on her own bottom.
Alexander Marine are the exclusive dealer for Ocean Alexander Yachts and Galeon Yachts in Australia and New Zealand, specialising in the sale of new and premium brokerage motor yachts.
Undertaken for the benefit of a repeat Alexander Marine and Palm Beach Motor Yacht owner, the delivery spanned 1,320 nautical miles. Alexander Marine sold the vessel some years ago and exported her from Australia to Auckland, so this was a homecoming for this immaculate vessel.
A crew of three were handpicked for the voyage. Departing Auckland, the four-day voyage took the vessel to the Bay of Islands, up around the tip of New Zealand, then northwest across the Tasman Sea to Lord Howe Island, where they took on fuel. The Palm Beach then embarked on its final 380nm run to the Gold Coast.
With careful weather planning the crew enjoyed good weather throughout the journey with generally calm seas, clear skies, and the light of a supermoon at night.
