Palm Beach XI

Palm Beach XI is a 100-foot Supermaxi racing yacht, formerly known as the record-holding Wild Oats XI and acquired and rebranded by Palm Beach Motor Yachts in late 2025. Under skipper Mark Richards, the yacht underwent an extensive refit, gaining radical C-foils, a deeper keel, and new daggerboards for modern offshore racing. The result is a boat capable of reaching 29 knots.
