Fort Lauderdale, FL – October, 2025 — Palm Beach Motor Yachts proudly unveils the new Palm Beach 85, the largest and most ambitious yacht in the company’s 30-year history. Representing Palm Beach’s entry into larger builds, the PB85 marks both an evolution in scale and a reaffirmation of the DNA that defines the brand—timeless design, uncompromising craftsmanship, and performance shaped by decades of ocean-racing experience.

Evolving the Palm Beach Vision

The PB85 extends Palm Beach’s design philosophy into a new category of luxury motoryacht. Available in Sedan, Flybridge, and Skylounge configurations, the model offers customizable layouts designed for long-range cruising and entertaining.

Uncompromised living spaces and seamless indoor–outdoor flow reflect how today’s owners live on the water, while advanced composite engineering and Palm Beach’s proprietary V-Warp® Technology deliver remarkable performance and efficiency at scale. Even at 90 feet overall (27.55 m) and a beam of 22 feet 2 inches (6.76 m), the PB85 maintains the brand’s hallmark balance of strength, light weight, and hydrodynamic precision.

“The PB85 marks an exciting chapter for Palm Beach Motor Yachts,” said Mark Richards, Founder, CEO, and Chief Designer. “It proves that even as we build larger yachts, we’ll never compromise on the principles that define us: strength, efficiency, and elegance.”

Innovation Informed by the Racecourse

For more than three decades, Palm Beach Motor Yachts has applied lessons from elite ocean racing to every yacht it builds. Founder, CEO and Chief Designer Mark Richards’s background in world-class ocean racing continues to inform the brand’s engineering philosophy—pursuing lighter, stronger, more efficient structures without compromise.

The extreme conditions of competitive sailing shaped Palm Beach’s proprietary V-Warp® Technology, now refined and scaled for the PB85. This proven hull form minimizes drag, maximizes strength, and delivers the rare combination of speed, efficiency, and comfort that defines Palm Beach Motor Yachts today.

A Flagship for Owners

From multiple stateroom options to handcrafted interiors, the PB85 is designed for owners who expect both performance and comfort. Whether configured for private cruising or as a statement vessel for entertaining, the PB85 embodies the Palm Beach Motor Yachts ethos: performance and luxury without compromise are not opposing ideas, but two halves of the same vision.
