Strong client demand fuels new luxury high-performance sports yachts, and a new flagship for the Palm Beach GT series — the Palm Beach GT70.

There is one simple and all-defining methodology to determine the success of a yacht’s hull design: can it deliver exceptional performance no matter what type of propulsion package is selected? If the fundamentals are exact and flawless, then performance and efficiency, along with a smooth sure-footed ride can be achieved no matter if straight shafts, pod drives, jet drives, or outboards are selected. And this is precisely what Palm Beach Motor Yachts continues to prove with its range of bespoke performance motor yachts—truly defining what it means to be the yachtsman’s powerboat.

Moreover, on a Palm Beach Motor Yacht all of these attributes are delivered along with superior handling and stability even in challenging sea conditions as proven by countless owner testimonials from around the world. While other lesser yachts are tied to the dock, a Palm Beach owner can easily get to their next destination safely and comfortably even in less than ideal conditions.

Leading the way in this next generation of offshore powerboats is the GT RS Series which includes the new GT50 RS, GT60 RS, and now the GT70 RS.

The new GT70 tooling is complete and epitomizes the best of Palm Beach Motor Yachts and will be sure to turn heads from Sydney to Sardinia. Mark Richards and team designed her with three sumptuous staterooms, including a full-beam mast cabin amidships. This galley-down layout allows for a luxurious salon area with plush lounging and dining areas, as well as port and starboard double helm seats. In addition, like every Palm Beach Motor Yacht, each GT70 can be custom tailored to the owners’ specific needs and taste.

For those seeking additional speed and life in the fast lane, Palm Beach Motor Yachts offers the GT70 RS which features triple 1,000-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1350s.

This industry leading performance is delivered thanks to Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ proprietary V- WARP® TECHNOLOGY developed by Mark Richards. It’s a combination of hull form, exotic construction materials and the build process itself. Trademarks of the V-WARP® TECHNOLOGY hull utilized on all Palm Beach Motor Yacht models include a fine entry, a graceful curvature amidships, and minimal deadrise at the transom. Each hull is infused with a precise resin to E-Glass ratio with unidirectional and multi-axial fibre, resulting in a strong, fast, and efficient hull form. This hull is then fused directly to the carbon fibre structure, bulkheads, deck, and superstructure of the vessel. This all contributes to significantly superior fuel efficiency and class-leading performance no matter what engine package is selected.

Following-up on the announcements of the Palm Beach 85 and Palm Beach 107 in 2024 (both currently sold and in production) the new GTRS series is poised to captivate yachtsmen with its compelling design, exhilarating performance, and dynamic agility.

The GT50 RS, GT60 RS, and the flagship GT70 RS make up the GTRS range.

The GT50 RS is available in Quad V8 500-horsepower outboards. The newly announced GT60 RS is available with Quad V12 600-horsepower outboards , while the GT70 RS will reach exhilarating speeds with Triple Volvo Penta 1,000 horsepower IPS 1350s. Each configuration satisfies the insatiable appetite for intoxicating performance and ferocity of offshore yachting.

“We will never compromise on performance and a superior ride,” says Mark Richards. “With every boat we build, we prove that both of these attributes can co-exist easily when the design and build process are flawless. That’s what excites me every day.”

The first Palm Beach GT 50RS with quad V8 500-horsepower Mercury Racing outboard engines is being built for a highly knowledgeable yachtsman who is a current Palm Beach Motor Yacht owner. The owner has offices in both Connecticut and New York City and was fueled by a desire to commute in style and make the often-arduous slog a lot more fun.

When a buyer purchases a luxury yacht directly from an award winning boatbuilder such as Palm Beach Motor Yachts, they gain access to a personalized experience that production manufacturers simply can’t match. Working closely with Mark Richards and team ensures every detail of their yacht reflects their vision, from bespoke design features to custom finishes. This collaboration represented by these new models reminds the company’s clients they are not just buying a model off a production line; they’re creating a one-of-a-kind yacht tailored to their lifestyle, with superior quality, performance, technology and innovation.
