Fort Lauderdale, FL – Palm Beach Motor Yachts has officially introduced the Palm Beach 85, marking a major milestone as the largest and most ambitious yacht in the company’s 30-year history. The PB85 represents the brand’s strategic move into larger yacht builds, combining increased scale with the core principles that have long defined Palm Beach Motor Yachts: timeless aesthetics, meticulous craftsmanship, and performance rooted in decades of ocean racing expertise.

More than a new flagship, the PB85 signals a significant evolution for the brand. Known traditionally for motor yachts ranging from 32 to 70 feet, Palm Beach Motor Yachts now extends its signature design philosophy into a new category. The yacht features expansive living spaces, highly customizable layouts, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration tailored to modern cruising lifestyles.
Advanced composite construction and the company’s proprietary V-Warp® Technology underpin the PB85’s performance credentials, delivering high speeds, long-range fuel efficiency, and a notably smooth and comfortable ride—hallmarks of the Palm Beach experience, even at this larger scale.

“The PB85 marks an exciting new chapter for Palm Beach,” said Mark Richards, Founder, CEO, and Chief Designer. “It demonstrates that as we grow into larger yachts, we remain fully committed to the principles that define our brand: strength, efficiency, and elegance. These are the same principles that have led to nine Sydney Hobart victories and continue to guide every yacht we design.”
Designed with owners in mind, the PB85 offers a range of customizable configurations, including multiple stateroom layouts suited for extended cruising and entertaining. From handcrafted interior finishes to advanced propulsion systems, every element reflects the brand’s commitment to blending classic design with forward-looking innovation.

With the launch of the PB85, Palm Beach Motor Yachts reinforces its ability to scale without compromising its identity. From competitive sailing to flagship motor yachts, the company continues to set new benchmarks, proving that performance and luxury are not opposing ideals—but complementary elements of a unified vision.
