One of the most striking superyachts sailing the Seven Seas has just gone up for sale. Khalilah and her luxe gold exterior have been turning heads since 2015 and now the showstopper could now be yours for a cool $31 million.

But it’s more than shine and dynamic lines that render this vessel worthy of eight figures; Khalilah is a straight-up history maker. The 160-foot cruiser was the first all-carbon superyacht ever built.

The handiwork of Palmer Johnson , the yacht’s carbon composite construction and revolutionary wave-penetrating hull means she can cruise at high speeds—26 knots being the top—with optimal fuel consumption. Moreover, there’s no need for zero speed stabilizers thanks to her 35-foot beam.

Onboard, Khalilah can accommodate up to 11 gilded guests within five well-appointed staterooms. The suitably opulent master suites are situated on the main deck and feature full-length windows that afford panoramic vistas. Elsewhere on this level is a generously sized living space and salon featuring a contemporary LED light installation, an ultra-modern galley, an alfresco dining area—complete with a bespoke cactus wood dining table—and vast aft deck.

Set on the upper deck is the hip skylounge. Perfect for after-hours socializing, the space is equipped with a high-tech entertainment system, overhead lights and comfortable lounges where you can while away the evening. Just ahead of the skylounge, you’ll find a sheltered terrace with a sunken spa pool to accommodate a late-night dip.

To top it all off, Khalilah comes packed with a matching 20-foot tender—dripping in gold, of course—as well as an array of water toys, including a jet pack, hoverboard, wakeboard, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables.

Exclusively for sale with SuperYachtsMonaco , the superyacht has an asking price of roughly $31 million (€28.5 million). If the festive season has you watching your shekels, you can also charter the superyacht.

KHALILAH Yacht – The Incredible $30,000,000 Superyacht

Measuring a length of 48 meters KHALILAH yacht was built by the US shipyard Palmer Johnson in 2015 and is currently available for charter.

She has space for eleven guests in five cabins and is easily recognizable due to her golden finish.

KHALILAH yacht interior

All design stages, including the interior of the KHALILAH yacht, were completed by Palmer Johnson Yachts.

There are five cabins on board that can accommodate up to eleven guests. The KHALILAH yacht has twin master suites, one VIP cabin, and one double cabin, as well as a twin and an additional Pullman berth.

Nine crew members find space in cabins below deck. The KHALILAH yacht is often described as a family-friendly yacht with a lot of features that are adjusted to children including her unusual interior design. 

In addition to her wide selection of water toys, families will appreciate the cabin layout and the onboard jacuzzi.

The beach club is perfect for a quick swim before a delicious dinner prepared by the five-star chef on board KHALILAH.

The yacht has impressive underwater lighting, wifi, and an upscale entertainment system. The interior of the KHALILAH yacht was designed to be tasteful and contemporary.

The style is somewhat eccentric in places, with colorful patterns and unusual features like a squid-shaped lamp in the main salon.

This is yet another aspect in which KHALILAH is an excellent yacht for families and not a conventional charter vessel.

Palmer Johnson gave her a unique interior to set KHALILAH apart from other superyachts and to match her already prominent exterior.

The furnishings of the yacht also have a distinct south-east Asian influence, with several buddha statues spread throughout the vessel.

Several cabins have intricate wood carvings decorating the walls, and there are traditional decorations and murals to be found onboard the luxury yacht.

Most notably, one of the bathrooms is entirely decorated with a colorful mosaic depicting cartoon-like sea animals, which is sure to be popular among children spending time aboard the KHALILAH yacht.

Other bathrooms are more minimalistic with white marble finishes and discreet mosaics of trees and other natural scenes.

Specifications

The KHALILA yacht is 48 meters (157.6 ft) long with an 11-meter (36.1 ft) beam and a 2.1-meter (6.11 ft) draft.

She is considered the world’s first all-carbon superyacht and is especially environmentally friendly with reduced emissions and exceptional fuel efficiency.

Both her hull and superstructure are built out of carbon, making her a lightweight vessel at only 485 tons.

She is powered by twin MTU engines which allow her to reach impressive speeds of up to 30 knots.

She comfortably cruises at 28 knots, making her one of the faster yachts in her size category.

Due to her highly efficient engines, she still has a range of 1,500 nautical miles and is the perfect yacht for visiting destinations in shallow waters due to her low draft.

The KHALILAH yacht is one of the most striking superyachts in the world and is guaranteed to draw attention wherever she goes with her pearlescent gold finish.

She is accompanied by a matching 6.8-meter (22 ft) gold tender, and her aerodynamic design gives her a sleek and elegant appearance.

On the aft, the yacht has a spacious swimming platform and storage area for water toys with an adjacent seating area with a beach club.

With her many floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks, KHALILAH perfectly merges indoor and outdoor living and provides guests with many choices for relaxing and enjoying the views.

One of her more unusual features is the custom extendable staircase that can be used to board guests and extend onto the water if requested as an unconventional seating area.

The exterior of the KHALILAH yacht was designed by Palmer Johnson Yachts , which is also the shipyard where the vessel was constructed. As a charter yacht, Khalilah has a fantastic selection of water toys on board to entertain her guests. There are jet skis, water skis, kayaks, paddleboards, and inflatables, all stored aft of the vessel.

The adjacent deck is exceptionally large and measures over 110 square feet giving guests plenty of space for sunbathing or exercising. 

The KHALILAH yacht has an estimated price of US $30 million. She generates annual running costs of approximately US $1 to $3 million.

Khalilah is available for charter at a weekly price of US $225,000 per week during both the winter and summer seasons. She is based in the Mediterranean and is primarily available for charter there. Khalilah is also available for sale at a listing price of US $28,5 million, although it is unclear whether a buyer has already been found.

On board Khalilah, the first all-carbon 49m superyacht

Uncategorized

There is no doubting the hottest topic of conversation in Miami Beach in February when the great and the good of the superyacht community gather for the Yacht and Brokerage Show. The boat in question is not part of the showcase event but her abstract sculptural quality, her golden pearlescent finish and black radar arch make  Khalilah  indisputably the star attraction – even tied up at a private home on the Indian Creek Waterway, a stone’s throw from the show. Craft of all sorts mill about as passengers crane their necks for a better look at the gleaming, golden goddess.

One man is keeping his cool amid all the hullabaloo. Timur Mohamed, owner of the iconic American boatbuilder  Palmer Johnson  (PJ), which has produced the 49 metre SuperSport  Khalilah , seems to be half-expecting the acclaim and attention when I join him on board. “This,” says Mohamed, sweeping a hand towards the huge aft deck by way of explanation, “is what this is all about.”

Clear and bold aim

Her goldness is not what sets  Khalilah  apart. Nor is the fact that  Khalilah ’s the largest private yacht built entirely in carbon composite. Rather, it’s that amazing aft deck, formed by its 11 metre beam. “This yacht has the beam of a 70 metre,” he says proudly.

And Mohamed can rightly feel proud, knowing as he does the amount of effort and the degree of innovation that has gone into creating this new SuperSport series. It has been under development since 2010, when Mohamed came across a concept to serve as the starting point for a yacht to shake things up, in what he considers the conservative world of yachting. It came courtesy of a designer called Berkeley March, a finalist in Boat International’s 2008 Young Designer of the Year awards, who had recently started working for Palmer Johnson.

What Mohamed wanted was a yacht without compromise and, with March’s design, he had it. “We wanted to tick all the boxes of what owners want,” Mohamed says. “The design intent had a clear and bold goal from the start: to create superyachts that did not compromise speed, efficiency, comfort and space. Once we had exterior elements we liked, along with the new hull form, the next [goal] was that design, technology and performance had to be woven seamlessly into the essence of the yacht. We were aiming to capture the hearts and imagination of the discerning and knowledgeable.”

The first designs were produced in late 2011. A contract for the first yacht came a few months later. “It was a high-risk project,” says Mohamed, who admits he likes just this sort of challenge. A second hull, which was sold earlier this year, is under construction.

“Innovative is when you change something fundamental,” Mohamed says. And this first SuperSport vessel did just that: a displacement yacht with no fin- or gyro-stabilisers, capable of reaching 30 knots and of providing the space of a multihull. “Thirty knots on a displacement hull simply does not happen,” he asserts. In February, shortly before heading to Florida, the yacht’s GPS registered 29.9 knots. Further fine-tuning inevitably followed.

Palmer Johnson, founded in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, in 1918, long before its expansion into Monaco a few years ago, is no stranger to innovation. In the 1960s, the yard began building fast sailing yachts in aluminium. It expanded into the superyacht market, where it carved its niche with alluring and sporty yachts developed in co-operation with Italian design firm  Nuvolari Lenard .

Part of the Palmer Johnson story

It was the company’s SportYacht series, launched in the mid-2000s, that first caught the attention of Mohamed. Th e first PJ120, Cover Drive, was built for him. “It’s all part of the PJ story,” he says. “From Fortuna (a 30.5 metre built in the late 1970s for King Juan Carlos of Spain) to the SportYachts to the SuperSport series, PJ has always bred performance yachts with dynamic styling ahead of the market.”

It helps that the builder has like-minded clients. Palmer Johnson built the first SuperSport for a repeat customer who, in 2007, took delivery of another head turner: the golden, Nuvolari Lenard-designed 46 metre named  O’Khalila  (now  Skyfall II ). Unlike her predecessor, which was built in aluminium,  Khalilah  is entirely carbon composite: carbon fibre sandwich and vinylester.

Khalilah  oozes the best of automotive styling with a soupçon of later-generation Palmer Johnson genes. On the water the 49 metre, despite her wide body aft, is sleek and sporty, with a long foredeck ending in what appears to be a reverse bow. Above deck, nothing is revealed: no tenders or cranes, no anchors, winches or mast clutter that foredeck; there is no towering superstructure, as Palmer Johnson eschewed such features many years ago. A wave-piercing element designed to part the water is visible only below the surface. Waves may rise occasionally to the level of side deflectors that also serve as interesting styling elements.

Seen from land,  Khalilah  offers a very different perspective and reveals her imposing scale. But even as  Khalilah  towers above, when you stand quayside (she is 16 metres tall from the waterline to the top of the mast), little prepares you for the space that she offers. The aft main deck sits on top of the widest part of the hull, courtesy of two sponsons that are designed to give stability. On closer inspection these thin appendages have doors built right above them to allow the crew to unload tenders and toys.

Seen from the inside, they expand the storage space significantly. Twin side garages, one with a fuelling station, hold a seven metre tender and three jet skis, and frame a large beach club protected from the elements by a wide glass door. With at least three functions, the sponsons are an integral part of the design and, when  Khalilah  is at anchor, they contribute to the feeling of space on board.

Creating space

The aft deck’s size – 110 square metres – is closer to the space you’d expect on a multihull. Compounding the effect of that 11 metre beam, and the almost 12 metres from the transom to the saloon door, is the extensive use of glass, which opens up views everywhere you look. Seated or sprawled on the large outside banquette, or lying on enormous sunpads, you still enjoy uninterrupted views. Shapely railings support glass panels that break the wind effectively but don’t spoil the view.

More glass is inset in the carbon supports framing the main deck’s outdoor dining area, with the largest panes found forward at the main saloon level. “They are the biggest glass panels aside from  Steve Jobs’s  boat [ Venus ],” says Mohamed.

Each panel framing the superstructure at the saloon’s level measures 6.6 by 2.2 metres. Palmer Johnson worked with New Zealand glass specialist Glasshape, which made and installed the specially formulated DuraShield Marine Glass. Each window panel comprises two layers of laminated glass, with an interlayer of resin that helps refract heat. One-inch thick (26mm), each panel weighs more than one tonne. “They are the largest windows installed on a superyacht in the United States,” says Andrew Forrest, who heads the Glasshape North America office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Speed ability

Thanks to the slender naval architecture and carbon composite construction (which represents a weight saving of about 20 tonnes according to PJ’s own estimation), the SuperSport 48 requires relatively modest power to reach her noteworthy top speed of 32 knots. The engines are twin 16V MTU diesel M94s from the 2000 series, with a maximum 5,200hp output. As a result, total consumption at top speed is about 1,000 litres per hour. Consumption, says the captain who took the yacht from Wisconsin to Florida via Montreal, goes down significantly with speed. With an extra tank extending capacity up to 41,600 litres, and a consumption of 159 litres per hour, the yacht has transatlantic range at about 15 knots.

To build  Khalilah  entirely in carbon composite, Palmer Johnson selected a Norwegian shipyard well-versed in the material. Brødrene Aa, which specialises in fast ferries, built the first DNV-approved vessel in GRP sandwich panels in the 1970s and a few well-known yachts marketed under the Norship name, including the 36.5 metre Moonraker, once the world’s fastest yacht, in the early 1990s.

The assembled hull and superstructure, with engines and drives in place, made their way from Norway to Wisconsin in late 2013, and the PJ craftsmen installed the mechanics, electronics, a complex network of lights and built the custom interior to the owner’s requirements.

Interior comfort

This owner wanted a simple but playful interior. A spiral of LED lights inset in the ceiling above the entrance foyer, a glass octopus, and low-lying colourful seats on top of wide-beam parquet flooring set the tone. But it is not long before the eyes wander towards the floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the saloon.

PJ’s standard layout calls for a larger main saloon, a galley down and a palatial master suite sprawling full-beam forward on the main deck. Khalilah  has a different layout, according to her owner’s wishes. The galley, a contemporary and alluring space with windows, stainless steel appliances and lacquered orange cabinets, looks as though it came from a Boffi showroom but was designed and built in-house. It was installed on the main deck at the owner’s request. Two similar-sized owner’s suites occupy the space forward, benefiting from great views through vertical portholes.

The guest cabins, including a comfortable VIP, are on the lower deck. Each has a different colour scheme, highly personalised décor and beautiful marble and colourful mosaics in the showers. The crew cabins (four twins and one single for the captain) are forward of a pleasant crew mess. A clever use of skylights allows light to stream belowdecks and the space is both practical and comfortable.

The pilothouse, up a few steps from the main deck, mirrors the progressive styling of the yacht herself. The modern bridge at the centre of it all was designed, assembled and built at Palmer Johnson, with control panels from Praxis Automation Technology. The wide windscreen offers a surprisingly good view despite the pronounced slant. A second, smaller helm station, or “skybridge”, is on the sundeck above. Modern Edge, an industrial design company based in Portland, Oregon, worked with Palmer Johnson on the design of this stainless steel and GRP console, which fits perfectly with the yacht’s exterior styling and integrates neatly with the Praxis control panels. Wing stations are on fold-out balconies, usually framed by removable stanchions and rails. Like many of this yacht’s design features, they are revealed only on closer inspection.

Disappearing navigation mast

Khalilah  does have a forward navigation mast, but it d isappears into the bowels of the vessel when not in use. The only indication of something there is the round shape of the teak detail forward of the sunpads. A system brings the mast up from below. Opening the trap and descending a rather steep ladder reveals a massive and perfectly finished mooring room where several crew can stand fully erect to supervise docking operations. Two anchors drop vertically from the bottom of that room, a system the yard chose to avoid unsightly anchor pockets that distract from the styling.

Practicality dictated most of the choices that the yard made on the technical side, from the sound damping material (Dynamat, a product commonly used in automotive and architectural applications) to the fixed Kohler generators and the conventional diesel power plant included. Most, but not all, of course. When you seek to provoke an emotional reaction and create a strong attachment from an owner to his or her yacht, the details count.

The owner of  Khalilah  clearly has a thing for gold, which is found at the heart of the engine room as a custom finish on the two MTU engine blocks. Gold suggests glamour and confidence but also courage and passion. It took all of that to imagine and build the first SuperSport. Now let’s hope the golden Khalilah will also mean prosperity for this forward-thinking US yacht builder.

Lawless Lands: 7 Dangerous Places With No Laws

7 east coast places where you would theoretically be safe from hurricanes, how to get kicked out of a national park.

The Khalilah yacht was recently spotted off the coast of Croatia which has generated some buzz about the $28-million dollar sea craft. Outfitted with a gold exterior, this yacht is one that's tough to miss as it cuts through the shimmering waters off coastal cities. A yacht this expensive deserves to be seen and when it is, people have questions.

As it turns out, the yacht is currently for sale, but it's also available to charter... for a fairly steep price. Despite its construction back in 2015, Khalilah is still just as luxurious and decadent in design as if it were built only yesterday. So what does the inside of this seaworthy gold bar, and why is it such a big deal?

Outside Of The Yacht

Khalilah was designed by Palmer Johnson and was always intended to be eye-catching. Its design was a perfect example of modernity and sleek curves, which are apparent in its streamline shape. As it cuts through the water, the sun shimmers not only off its cresting wake but also off its exterior - which is finished in a custom shade called Cordova Gold.

Everything about the exterior of this yacht has been designed with competitive luxury in mind, from the bow that simply slices through the water to its minimalistic, yet high-end, options for deck seating and ocean views. Under the open sky, guests can socialize in the covered dining area or spend some lazy days on the sunpad-filled lounge.

The stairs down to the beach club are actually hidden from the exterior view but can be found off the outside art deck. From here, a pair of sliding glass doors lead to a bathing area, where a jetpack, wakeboard, waterboard, kayaks, paddleboards, and inflatables are kept. The skylounge is also located here, which is home to al fresco dining and entertainment space, as well as a covered terrace with a spa pool and oversized sunpad.

Inside The Yacht

If that wasn't enough to sell anyone on the amazing architectural detail of this yacht, then the inside surely will be. The interior design has subtle Asian influences combined with modern detail, combining massive windows with sleek lines and a contemporary finish of simple textures.

The yacht's birchwood bar leads directly into a full-beam salon. The decor here revolves around the strategic placement of LED lights and glass window installments, creating the perfect balance of natural and artificial lighting. The galley kitchen on the yacht was worked into the overall design, intending to be seen with its open floor plan. Here, guests will also find a breakfast bar for smaller meals, but the entire area can be opened as one space with the connecting salon.

The skylounge is the true gem of this yacht; with a fully-equipped entertainment system, this space is perfect for lounging or dancing the night away. The walls were designed with curved glass, offering a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding ocean while out at sea.

Speed, Guest Size, Renting Protocol

The Khalilah can cruise at a top speed of 26 knots , with an average cruising speed of 15 knots. The craft also required no stabilizers, due to the installation of a 10.8-meter beam.

When it comes to personal space on the yacht, there's plenty - a total of five staterooms can be found, including two master suites, which accommodate a total of 11 people. On the lower deck, a 9-person crew can be accommodated as well, and each stateroom has its own en suite bathroom.

This 160-feet superyacht with a glistening gold exterior is the shiniest vessel on the high seas – The cruiser comes with a stately master suite, a massive deck, and two garages for water toys.

Khalilah boasts a matching gold tender, in addition to a wide selection of water toys, kept inside two garages – one with a fueling station. Amongst her excellent crew of nine is a two-star Michelin-trained chef.

Correction – In an email, the representatives of Mr. Alexei Gulobovich have informed us that Mr. Alexei does not own or has ever been in possession of the Khalilah yacht. As of 23rd July 2023, 1.15 am EST, the article has been edited to reflect that.
