Palm Beach 70
The efficiency of the Palm Beach 70 (76′ 3″ LOA, 19′ 2″ beam) starts with the semi-displacement warped hull. “This means it’s super fine in the bow and rolls into soft shoulders that just sort of fold all the water away so you get no hull slapping,” said Joel Butler, marketing director. Twin Volvo Penta 1,000-hp IPS 1350 drives along with the 1,585-gallon fuel supply will get you 695 nautical miles at 33 knots. That’s a good pace. Cruising at 20 knots will take you almost 1,000 miles. Comfort is key in the 70, and the three-stateroom layout includes a spacious amidships master to port and a VIP centerline queen berth in the bow. A golden teak interior finish adds warmth and class to the interior styling with the helm station forward on the main deck, large L-shaped settees in the salon, and huge windows on all sides for a 360-degree view. An open flybridge and onboard laundry room enhance the cruising experience. palmbeachmotoryachts.com
