A milestone year for Palm Beach Motor Yachts

Palm Beach Motor Yachts is celebrating three decades of design, craftsmanship and innovation in 2025, and the calendar has already been marked by a memorable Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show earlier this year. At Sanctuary Cove, the brand welcomed more than 130 owners, friends and guests for a night of tributes, stories, and shared history, alongside a busy four days of on-water displays.

Mark Richards, CEO and founder, described the occasion as a moving celebration of the Palm Beach story: “We shared a meaningful tribute with lifelong friends, mentors, and supporters, which made this milestone all the more memorable. I am deeply grateful for our incredible team, for all we have achieved together, and for the support and friendships we’ve built along the way.”

At Sanctuary Cove, the Palm Beach 65 and award-winning Palm Beach 50 drew strong interest from visitors, reinforcing the brand’s position as one of Australia’s most admired builders of luxury motor yachts.

Melbourne Boat Show – continuing the celebration

The anniversary celebrations now move south, with Palm Beach Motor Yachts confirmed for the Melbourne Boat Show, October 16–19. This time, the spotlight will be on the Palm Beach 45, a model that captures the blend of classic styling, performance, and innovation that has defined the company for three decades.

Guests will have the opportunity to step aboard for a personal tour hosted by the factory-direct Palm Beach team. The showcase will offer insight into what sets the marque apart – precision construction, efficient hull design, and interiors that combine relaxed luxury with timeless craftsmanship.
