Palm Beach Motor Yachts
Palm Beach Motor Yachts builds custom high-performance motor cruisers, blending traditional Downeast design aesthetics with racing-derived hull engineering. Established in 1995 in Australia by ocean racing champion Mark Richards, the yard develops express cruisers, sedan models, and flybridge builds built specifically for owner-operators.
Construction relies on proprietary V-Warp Technology, a lightweight structural philosophy that integrates vacuum-infused carbon fiber components with a fine-entry, non-planing warp hull form. This design minimizes drag and lowers fuel consumption, delivering high cruising speeds, superior dynamic stability, and extended range across open-water passages.
The current lineup spans across the Classic and GT series, offering dozens of model variations ranging from compact dayboats to displacement cruisers. Manufacturing operations are conducted across specialized shipyard facilities in Australia and Malaysia, where skilled engineers and joiners execute fully custom interior arrangements, handcrafted teak joinery, and tailored propulsion configurations.
Supported by direct factory sales and service hubs in North America, Europe, and Australasia, the builder maintains active relationships with owners throughout the life of each vessel. By combining composite structural efficiency with timeless exterior styling, Palm Beach Motor Yachts continues to set benchmark performance standards in the global luxury motorboat sector.
