Find Your Perfect Model
Flexibility is at the heart of our design philosophy and nowhere is that more evident than aboard the PB42. This yacht’s internal space can be configured to meet your lifestyle needs and requirements. Choose the lower galley and you’ll find you have plenty of space to entertain groups of friends throughout the day. The option of an upper galley creates the additional space below that serves as a quiet lounge area, or transforms into an additional comfortable berth to accommodate extra guests.
PB42 SEDAN MODEL
The PB42 has all the amenities of a much larger yacht – a climate-control led-salon, a luxurious master stateroom and options for upper or lower galley to create the space you need.

DESIGN
The Beauty of our
Timeless Design
Every Palm Beach Motor Yacht combines form and function, drawing inspiration from the practicality of lobster boats in Maine while prioritizing modern needs for performance, fuel efficiency, comfort, and safety.

Exteriors Refined to Perfection
The lines one finds on a Palm Beach are nothing short of gorgeous. Its timeless beauty and sleek, modern edge sets a Palm Beach apart from anything else found in yachting. The spacious and functional cockpit creates an exceptionally comfortable entertainment area, and is customizable in layout and design.

Interior Inspirations
At Palm Beach, customization is king. We design and engineer our yachts for enhanced rigidity by fusing the bulkheads and fixed furniture with the hull. This practice allows for meticulously planned internal layouts during the early design stages. We offer flexibility in galley placement and stateroom configurations to optimize space utilization and storage. Our craftsmen take great care to ensure that every inch of the yacht is thoughtfully designed to enhance your enjoyment onboard.

“I was very impressed with the first boat I bought, a PB50. It was a great boat but more-so, it was Mark’s commitment to quality... getting things right. He is a perfectionist. His whole approach to building a boat… we both come from sailing backgrounds - he likes to build them light and fast and strong. His attitude is ’Near enough is not good enough!’”
STEPHEN AINSWORTH, PB65 “TRIPLE TREAT”
“My relationship with Palm Beach has been excellent since first meeting. My PB45 has classic good looks and is a “head turner” in every harbor, but more importantly it has excellent build quality and all onboard systems, including power and electronics, work flawlessly. And the performance, ride, and handling of my PB45 in any seaway are second to none. There’s always been full access to the entire Palm Beach team, including the president, Mark Richards. Buying my PB45, Le Reve, is one of the better decisions I’ve made in my life.”
DAVE SPALDING, PALM BEACH 45, “LE REVE”
“They’re big, fast, with superior sea handling. I’ve been in 7m (23’) swells behind us with a 2m (7’) chop on top, and on the beam coming from the left-hand side was about a 100 Km/h (54 knots) wind. And not once did any of the waves break over the bow...the bow always came up, which is testimony to how light and strong the boat is. It’s just an incredible sea-handling boat!”
ANDY GREIG, PB65 “RENA G”
“Our experience from the outset of introduction to the team, all the way through the sales process, delivery, and now follow up service has been extraordinary. We have built and owned many yachts, and the response that we have received from Grand Banks/Palm Beach has been truly exceptional. Every detail is addressed, which very obviously filters all the way through the organization. A true first class operation.”
BRIAN DARNELL, PB52, “SOUTHERN DRAW”
“It was love at first sight when we first saw a PB45 at a Florida boat show. Now a few years on, our PB45 BlackSwan looks brand-new, performs flawlessly and easily handles even the heaviest seas. Of course it is still a head turner. The ownership experience has been outstanding with the people of Palm Beach Yachts going the extra mile to ensure it remains so.”
