2021 Palm Beach 52 Sedan Motor Yacht

Pre-owned SOLD

DESCRIPTION & DETAILS

 Alexander Marine are pleased to have AGAIN SOLD the 2021 Palm Beach 52 Sedan. She presents as a rare opportunity to an astute buyer being the only Palm Beach 52 on the market in the Asia Pacific region. Given booming global demand for these sought-after bespoke motor yachts, she offers considerable time and cost savings over a new build. Her breathtaking Palm Beach lines capture the attention of boat enthusiasts wherever she cruises. The PB52 model offers similar volume to the very popular PB55 model and retains the all-important tender garage as featured onboard the larger 55 model. Indeed the 52 model has the same moulded beam as the 55. This particular Palm Beach 52 is flawlessly presented by her passionate owner. Her crisp two pack painted white hull and white topsides gleam (and furthermore this choice of hull colour makes her extremely low maintenance). Her teak laid cockpit has been configured for entertaining and features a single entry on the starboard side of the vessel. Access to the cockpit flows seamlessly from the wide teak-laid swim platform. The single entry arrangement to the cockpit permits a larger L-shaped cockpit seating arrangement across the transom, which is set around a fixed height high gloss teak table. In addition to her well-laid out cockpit entertaining area, she features a Kenyon BBQ grill, hotplate and teak preparation board which doubles as a lid to the esky below for additional beverage storage discreetly built into her transom credenza. Across the saloon bulkhead at the front of the cockpit you will find a sink, rubbish bin, storage, and multiple drawer fridges to ensure guests are always well hydrated! Her interior layout is the popular galley-down configuration which permits a spacious saloon area dedicated to relaxed lounging space. Her accommodation layout offers two guest cabins, with a spacious master cabin in the bow and a twin cabin with side-by-side singles to starboard below the helm. Note the twin cabin can be configured as a double bed should that be required. Both cabins have their own private ensuite. This particular Palm Beach 52 was built with upgraded D11 725hp Volvo shaft drives with low engine hours at only 243hrs! The generator also shares low hours at 170hrs. For added convenience of joystick docking, she was equipped with the EJS system which provides joystick maneuverability being linked to her superior hydraulic bow and sterns thrusters. The EJS system also offers position hold which is very handy when operating the vessel shorthanded. She genuinely presents inside and out in as new condition. Manufacturing lead times are under pressure at the moment across all boat builders due to unprecedented global demand, which makes this turn-key immediate delivery vessel an appealing proposition for the astute buyer.

As with every Palm Beach fleet member, the PB85 is constructed using the yard’s proprietary V-Warp technology. The strong and efficient hull is a sandwich of foam, e-glass, and epoxy resin, while the streamlined superstructure is made from lightweight carbon fiber. The sleek exterior enhances overall performance, increasing range and improving fuel efficiency. In fact, the yard says its cruisers consume 70 percent less fuel than other yachts in their class.

The PB85 is pretty fast, too. ​​Powered by Volvo Penta engines, the yacht has a cruising speed of 23 knots, a top speed of 26 knots, and a range of 200 nautical miles at 21 knots. Twin MAN V-8s result in a top speed of 27.5 knots, a cruising speed of 25 knots, and a range of 650 nautical miles.

“At Palm Beach, we’re constantly improving, innovating, pushing ourselves, and exceeding industry expectations—the PB85 is the result of countless hours of hard work by our entire team,” adds Richards. “I am extremely proud of what we’ve been able to achieve.”

No details regarding delivery, but fingers crossed the PB85 hits the seas soon.

Palm Beach GT50 Open review: A true driver’s boat that’s perfectly poised

The Palm Beach GT50 Open hit a top speed of 37.5 knots on test

The entire helm area sits on a raised platform above the engineroom

The Palm Beach GT50 Open was designed by Andy Dovell and Palm Beach Yachts

After making its European debut at Cannes 2019, the Palm Beach GT50 looks set to see its Australian creators start conquering Europe

It’s not a household name in Europe yet, but Palm Beach Yachts intends to change all that. And with its intoxicating mix of quality construction, advanced hull design and sleek styling, it might just succeed.

An Australian boatbuilder of some repute that was bought by Grand Banks in 2014, it has introduced a new GT series to follow up its line of hardtop and flybridge models.

The first, the Palm Beach GT50, is based on an existing hull with the addition of significantly more horsepower, fuel capacity and performance. At the Cannes Yachting Festival in September the Palm Beach GT50 Open made its European debut.

It made an excellent impression. The E-glass and Vinylester hull was finished to a mirror sheen, and every aspect of the interior fit-out felt solid and long-lasting.

Being essentially a Grand Banks product, built at the company’s long-established yard in Malaysia, that might not seem too surprising, but the cool design, curvaceous mouldings and minimalist styling (no guardrails!) are hardly going to get nods of recognition from old-school trawler-yacht fans. And the deck and superstructure are constructed entirely of lightweight carbon-fibre.

The hull design is interesting. Palm Beach’s people describe it as a displacement form, which is only half the story: certainly it runs comfortably at low speeds, but when you push the throttles home it ups and goes with no discernible ‘hump’ getting onto the plane.

Fjord 44 test: wheelhouse coupe brings this scandi brand full-circle.

Fjord is going back to its roots and building coupés again but, having carved out a niche for open sportscruisers,

£563579

Our trim gauge moved smoothly from zero to three degrees in a linear progression that bore out our impression of smooth, unruffled acceleration.

Designed by Andy Dovell, an American naval architect based near Sydney, the hull has a fine, seamanlike entry reminiscent of a destroyer’s, easing aft to a very modest deadrise of just 8˚ at the transom.

With its low profile and slender platform the Palm Beach GT50 is quite likely to serve some owners as little more than a luxurious dayboat. It’s not exactly voluminous, but it does possess credible seagoing credentials.

There is its easily driven hull, happy to cruise at pretty much any speed between 15 knots and 35. It has a decent fuel capacity and a useful range. And its interior could be comfortable on a weekend, or longer.

The forecabin has a full-size bed, 6ft 6in long by 5ft wide (1.98m x 1.52m) and 6ft-plus (1.90m) headroom. The midships cabin is a cave, essentially, which could be an excellent selling point for small people, although at 6ft 2in by 4ft 10in (1.88m x 1.47m) the berth itself is of eminently useable dimensions.

Sitting headroom in there is a fair 39in (99cm) at the pillow end, although of course the 21in (53cm) clearance over the rest of it isn’t really headroom at all.

Stowage space, that bugbear of the cruising life, shouldn’t be too much of an issue either: I counted seven drawers and eight lockers in the forecabin, all of them big enough to be useful, while the head and galley are also well provided for. And there is an enormous locker under the cockpit sole.

Although propelled by IPS, the Palm Beach GT50’s engines are mounted amidships, linked to the drives on long, one-piece, carbon-fibre jackshafts. This is how boats used to be designed, with the weight concentrated as much as possible amidships, and it helps to explain a number of things about this one.

There is the pleasingly traditional feel of its deck layout, for a start, with its distinct step up from the cockpit to the helm deck, which is sited over the engine compartment.

This creates two discrete seating areas, each with their own integrity: the raised bench seats, sheltered and secure, when at sea, and the aft sofas in the cockpit, served by their own little bar, for relaxing in once you have arrived.

And then there is the Palm Beach GT50’s remarkable poise when under way. It really is something special. The fuel tanks lie along the forward engineroom bulkhead, so with its lightweight carbon deck and upperworks, and no hardtop, the centre of gravity is pretty much in the centre of the boat, not very far above the waterline.

So along with a level longitudinal trim under acceleration, which keeps the bow down to address the seas with that razor-sharp entry, there is its willing helm response, beautifully balanced and unflappable no matter how ham-fisted the helmsman.

In a full-lock, full-speed three-sixty the hull barely bled off 5 knots, then accelerated on straightening up to slice through our wake with the greatest of ease.

There is no shortage of horsepower, which helps, of course: our 37.5 knots might be some way off what Palm Beach claims for this boat, but it still felt surprising when coupled to such thoroughbred handling.

Price as reviewed:

£1,770,000.00 inc. VAT

The GT50 is a driver’s boat. It has the power to make virtually anyone feel like the most accomplished, confident hand on the helm. It is also comfortable, beautifully built and very pretty to look at. We’ll certainly be hearing more from Palm Beach.
