Form follows function and in the sweeping lines of a Palm Beach you can easily imagine how the lobster fishermen of Maine used the low point of the gunwale to heave their catch onto the deck. But while this aesthetic may have served as our inspiration, Palm Beach yachts are designed to meet a very different set of needs – speed, efficiency, comfort and safety.
Every one of our models is built to order and so our owners have the opportunity to choose from a broad variety of options to ensure their boat will meet the specific and personal requirements of their onboard lifestyle.
In the past, we’ve attached carbon diving boards to the hardtop, shortened the flybridge overhang to accommodate fishing rods, created storage space for diving tanks and pumps, we’ve even replaced the bow rider with a heated jacuzzi.
We can make the boat of your dreams a reality!
As bulkheads and fixed furniture are fused to the hull to enhance rigidity, internal configuration is determined during the earliest stages of the yacht’s design.
All models make provision for an upper or lower galley and allow for variations in size and number of staterooms. Given these options, you can commission a bachelor pad, a family cruiser or a weekend boat for parties.
One of the features of our design in which we take great pride is the ingenious use we make of the space available, particularly in regards to storage. We’ve often heard it said that our boats are bigger on the inside than they are on the outside. And it’s another reason why it’s so important that our craftsmen understand exactly how you are going to enjoy your time on board.
At our factory, we carry a very wide range of fixtures and fittings for the staterooms, heads, galleys and entertaining areas. Most of our customers find we can supply the style and functionality that they require. And should damage occur, we can quickly replace an item with one that is identical.
However, we understand that these seemingly small details make an enormous difference to the style and aesthetic of the boat’s interior. For that reason, we are very happy for owners to choose fittings that are not in our standard range as long as supply and delivery times do not hinder the process of the boat’s construction. We will, of course, ensure that such items will be covered by third party warranties.
As always, the choice is entirely yours.
The seamstresses in our upholstery department work with a broad palette of colours and an extensive range of fabrics for our staterooms and entertaining areas.
As well as style, we’re mindful of durability. You’ll find that the walls and ceiling liners of our yachts are upholstered in a soft vinyl that is easy to clean and maintain.
However, we understand that these materials enable you to make a very personal statement in terms of taste and style. Should you choose to appoint your own interior designer, we’ll happily refund the upholstery budget to you so that you can commission materials that are of your exact choosing.
