Palm Beach 70
Sometimes bigger is better. Clients of Palm Beach requested a larger model, and the luxury performance boatbuilder obliged, launching its flagship 70 (74’ 11” LOA, 19’ 2” beam) this past spring. With a golden teak three-stateroom interior and a 38-knot top speed possible from twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350s, the PB70 is in line with the company’s ethos of high aesthetics as well as high performance. A semi-displacement warped-hull, designed to go through the water as opposed to on top of it, offers less resistance, thus increased efficiency. Another benefit of the hull is shallow draft—just four feet, three inches. Everything above the sheerline is built with infused carbon fiber, keeping the center of gravity on this flybridge yacht nice and low. palmbeachmotoryachts.com
