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.

“The Palm Beach GT60 Jet Drive was born from conversations with a longtime Palm Beach Motor Yachts owner who summers in Maine,” said Mark Richards, founder, CEO, and Chief Designer. “He needed jet drives to manage the unique challenges of the Northeast while also wanting a motor yacht that reflected his lifestyle. 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.”

The DNA of Palm Beach Motor Yachts is driven by a continued legacy of competitive offshore ocean racing success with a passionate commitment to excellence. This elite heritage is infused into every Palm Beach Motor Yachts built. Exotic carbon-fibre construction, advanced resin infusion, and the proprietary V-Warp® Technology combine to deliver timeless design, performance, and unmatched fuel efficiency. The result is a superior ride that defines Palm Beach Motor Yachts’“ True Yachtsman’s Powerboat” experience.

Also on display, the Palm Beach 70 represents the pinnacle of long-range cruising luxury. With expansive layouts, advanced engineering, and world-class craftsmanship, the PB70 showcases how Palm Beach Motor Yachts blends timeless design with performance and efficiency to create motor yachts that endure.

Visitors to the Newport International Boat Show will have the exclusive opportunity to step aboard both models and meet the factory-direct team to learn more about Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ focus on customization, innovation, and a superior ownership experience.
