New Model: Palm Beach Motor Yachts PB85

Palm Beach Motor Yachts has launched its largest build to date as it delivered its first PB85 at the start of the fall. The PB85 enters Palm Beach into 24 meters plus super yacht and expands its size from from its previous largest PB70 which arrived in 2019 by six meters.  For those less attentive to details the PB85 also shares hull with the same owned Grand Banks GB85 which launched in 2021, and to date has been delivered in three units.  The first hull of the Palm Beach PB85 came in the Sedan hard-top version, but the model is also available in Flybridge, and enclosed bridge Skylounge versions.  The Palm Beach PB85 features a galley up layout, with a three stateroom lower deck.  Crew cabins for two are at midships in between the engine room and the owners room, and this area also features a galley, L-shaped dinette, and direct access to the spacious engine room aft.  The Palm Beach Motor Yachts PB85 is standard powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with IPS pod drives for speeds up to 28 knots and a cruise at 23 knots.  Other options are triple Volvo 1000s and IPS pods for speeds up to 35 knots, and twin Man 1300hp with shaft drives for speeds up to thirty knots. It is not understood with what power the first hull was launched, but rumours say it is powered by the standard twin Volvo 1000hp set up.
