Palm Beach Motor Yachts: precision, passion, performance

Founded in 1995 by sailing champion Mark Richards, Palm Beach Motor Yachts builds luxury powerboats known for performance and craftsmanship. Based in Sydney, Australia, the company was created to deliver a true yachtsman’s powerboat — fast, efficient, and beautifully made.

At the heart of every Palm Beach is V-WARP® Technology, a proprietary design system using carbon fibre, resin-infused hulls, and monocoque construction. This results in stronger, lighter boats with outstanding fuel efficiency, low emissions, and exceptional ride quality. Palm Beach yachts often use less than half the fuel of similar vessels.

The brand offers over 30 model variations across its Classic and GT series. Each yacht is factory-direct and custom-built, giving owners full control over layout, propulsion, and finishes. Every step — from concept to delivery — happens in-house, ensuring quality and seamless communication.

Richards still leads as CEO and chief designer, bringing racing knowledge and boatbuilding expertise to every design. His vision shapes a brand focused on refined performance, elegant simplicity, and client collaboration.

With global recognition and a loyal following, Palm Beach Motor Yachts continues to redefine what a high-performance luxury cruiser can be — efficient, timeless, and uniquely tailored to its owner.
