Palm Beach GT50 Open review: A true driver’s boat that’s perfectly poised

The Palm Beach GT50 Open hit a top speed of 37.5 knots on test

The entire helm area sits on a raised platform above the engineroom

The Palm Beach GT50 Open was designed by Andy Dovell and Palm Beach Yachts

The helm seats and forward dinette are well protected by the tall windscreen

• The galley is also unusually large and well equipped for a sportscruiser

After making its European debut at Cannes 2019, the Palm Beach GT50 looks set to see its Australian creators start conquering Europe

It’s not a household name in Europe yet, but Palm Beach Yachts intends to change all that. And with its intoxicating mix of quality construction, advanced hull design and sleek styling, it might just succeed.

An Australian boatbuilder of some repute that was bought by Grand Banks in 2014, it has introduced a new GT series to follow up its line of hardtop and flybridge models.

The first, the Palm Beach GT50, is based on an existing hull with the addition of significantly more horsepower, fuel capacity and performance. At the Cannes Yachting Festival in September the Palm Beach GT50 Open made its European debut.

It made an excellent impression. The E-glass and Vinylester hull was finished to a mirror sheen, and every aspect of the interior fit-out felt solid and long-lasting.

Being essentially a Grand Banks product, built at the company’s long-established yard in Malaysia, that might not seem too surprising, but the cool design, curvaceous mouldings and minimalist styling (no guardrails!) are hardly going to get nods of recognition from old-school trawler-yacht fans. And the deck and superstructure are constructed entirely of lightweight carbon-fibre.

The hull design is interesting. Palm Beach’s people describe it as a displacement form, which is only half the story: certainly it runs comfortably at low speeds, but when you push the throttles home it ups and goes with no discernible ‘hump’ getting onto the plane.

Grand Banks Eastbay 44 review: Efficient and appealing on every level

Fjord 44 test: wheelhouse coupe brings this scandi brand full-circle.

Fjord is going back to its roots and building coupés again but, having carved out a niche for open sportscruisers,

£563579

Our trim gauge moved smoothly from zero to three degrees in a linear progression that bore out our impression of smooth, unruffled acceleration.

Designed by Andy Dovell, an American naval architect based near Sydney, the hull has a fine, seamanlike entry reminiscent of a destroyer’s, easing aft to a very modest deadrise of just 8˚ at the transom.

With its low profile and slender platform the Palm Beach GT50 is quite likely to serve some owners as little more than a luxurious dayboat. It’s not exactly voluminous, but it does possess credible seagoing credentials.

There is its easily driven hull, happy to cruise at pretty much any speed between 15 knots and 35. It has a decent fuel capacity and a useful range. And its interior could be comfortable on a weekend, or longer.

The forecabin has a full-size bed, 6ft 6in long by 5ft wide (1.98m x 1.52m) and 6ft-plus (1.90m) headroom. The midships cabin is a cave, essentially, which could be an excellent selling point for small people, although at 6ft 2in by 4ft 10in (1.88m x 1.47m) the berth itself is of eminently useable dimensions.

Sitting headroom in there is a fair 39in (99cm) at the pillow end, although of course the 21in (53cm) clearance over the rest of it isn’t really headroom at all.

Stowage space, that bugbear of the cruising life, shouldn’t be too much of an issue either: I counted seven drawers and eight lockers in the forecabin, all of them big enough to be useful, while the head and galley are also well provided for. And there is an enormous locker under the cockpit sole.

Although propelled by IPS, the Palm Beach GT50’s engines are mounted amidships, linked to the drives on long, one-piece, carbon-fibre jackshafts. This is how boats used to be designed, with the weight concentrated as much as possible amidships, and it helps to explain a number of things about this one.

There is the pleasingly traditional feel of its deck layout, for a start, with its distinct step up from the cockpit to the helm deck, which is sited over the engine compartment.

This creates two discrete seating areas, each with their own integrity: the raised bench seats, sheltered and secure, when at sea, and the aft sofas in the cockpit, served by their own little bar, for relaxing in once you have arrived.

And then there is the Palm Beach GT50’s remarkable poise when under way. It really is something special. The fuel tanks lie along the forward engineroom bulkhead, so with its lightweight carbon deck and upperworks, and no hardtop, the centre of gravity is pretty much in the centre of the boat, not very far above the waterline.

So along with a level longitudinal trim under acceleration, which keeps the bow down to address the seas with that razor-sharp entry, there is its willing helm response, beautifully balanced and unflappable no matter how ham-fisted the helmsman.

In a full-lock, full-speed three-sixty the hull barely bled off 5 knots, then accelerated on straightening up to slice through our wake with the greatest of ease.

There is no shortage of horsepower, which helps, of course: our 37.5 knots might be some way off what Palm Beach claims for this boat, but it still felt surprising when coupled to such thoroughbred handling.

Price as reviewed:

£1,770,000.00 inc. VAT

The GT50 is a driver’s boat. It has the power to make virtually anyone feel like the most accomplished, confident hand on the helm. It is also comfortable, beautifully built and very pretty to look at. We’ll certainly be hearing more from Palm Beach.

Palm Beach Motor Yachts 65 For Sale

• By Jake Lamb
• February 6, 2024

Independence , a Palm Beach Motor Yachts 65, is currently listed with Grand Banks Marine Group for $4.45 million. The 2021 flybridge motor yacht is sure to impress with its three-stateroom layout, numerous entertainment spaces and 40-knot speed.

When Yachting first reported on the Palm Beach 65 , we noted the quality of the build down to the smallest detail, “A lot of builders get the obvious markers correct — or “correct” enough to pass the normal examination — but the true clues to a company’s obsession with quality hide from the view of all but the most careful shopper. As I stepped through the doorway to the salon, admiring the finish on the bifold door and the surround, the hinges caught my eye. After I retrieved it (my eye), I saw that the crisscross on the head of each Phillips screw perfectly lined up with every other one on every hinge. Same for the hinges on the middle joint of the door, and I found details of this sort everywhere. To wit: The reveals of each door and drawer were very narrow, and when I looked at the bank of them in the galley, I discovered that all of the reveals were visually the same width. The drawers slid fluidly in and out, and the doors opened and closed without the slightest protest. I looked for flaws within the depths of every stowage locker and cabinet, but didn’t find any…”

Independence’ s flag-blue hull is vacuum-infused E-Glass with carbon fiber reinforcement in structural areas for enhanced strength without extra weight. It’s cored with Corcell and Airex foam, stitched multiaxial fabric, and vinylester and epoxy resins. The deck and superstructure are fully-infused carbon fiber.

The Palm Beach 65’s salon has a feeling of warmth and volume thanks to the natural light via 360 degrees of glass, light neutral tones and high-gloss-wood finishes. There is an L-shaped sofa and fixed table to port and two facing loveseats to starboard with a coffee table between them, a natural area for pre-dinner cocktails and casual conversation. The lower helm station is forward of the loveseats and has additional bench seating to port for companions.

The galley is forward of the salon, to port and down a few steps. A J-shaped countertop provides enough real estate for a few people to prep meals. It is also equipped with Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop, a dishwasher, a microwave/convection oven, an Isotherm refrigerator/freezer, an Edgestar six-inch, seven-bottle wine cooler, a water-purification system and more.

Belowdecks are three staterooms outfitted with a custom European Samarra Sisal carpet with acoustic underlay, including the amidships owners’ stateroom, which also has a custom island berth, a 32-inch flat-screen TV and an en suite head. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a double berth, and an en suite head. The third guest stateroom is to starboard and abaft the VIP with twin berths, creating a solid setup for cruising families.

The Palm Beach 65’s exterior spaces provide two alfresco dining options. The first is found in the cockpit with aft bench seating, a fixed table and room to pull up loose chairs. There is also an L-shaped sofa forward and to starboard for additional seating. Stairs to port lead to the flybridge where there is an L-shaped sofa and table to starboard and abaft the three-seat helm station. There is also a grill in the after section of the flybridge.

Side decks lead to the foredeck where there is a two-person sun pad and cushioned bow-rider seating, offering a quiet getaway from noise at the quay or a place to take in a sunset with friends.

Twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS1350 diesels provide power for Independence , propelling it to a reported sporty 40-knot top hop with a 34-knot cruise speed.

Independence has a Garmin electronics package on board that includes three 8617 multifunction displays , a GSD 25 fishfinder/sounder, autopilot, a GMR Fantom 4-foot Open Array , an Icom VHF, two engine room cameras, AIS 800, WiFi, a Volvo Penta 7-inch display and an aft-facing cockpit camera.

Some other notable features on board this Palm Beach 65 include a Fusion Marine Apollo Series stereo system, a dynamic positioning system, a Fischer Panda 19,000i generator, a crew quarters and a 10-foot Zodiac tender with an 8 hp electric outboard.

From the Yachting Archive: Once Upon a Time in Oz

“You don’t have to be Hercule Poirot to find evidence of the builder’s efforts. Simply stroke the glossy woodwork with your fingertips or sight along the surface of the dinette table. You won’t see or feel any flaws in the finish. Powerful magnifying glass in hand, examine each joint for the tiniest gap or unevenness between two surfaces. Zero. In keeping with Palm Beach’s take on traditional New England styling, Herreshoff cleats of stainless-steel sprout from the teak decks in all the right places. Custom stainless-steel chocks guide the mooring lines to their destinations. Gently run the tip of your finger over the welded joints of the safety rail. If you detect any evidence of the customary weld bead, you’ll get a prize — yet to be determined.” – Yachting , October 2011

Where is Independence located? The yacht is currently lying in Charleston, South Carolina.

For superyacht shoppers, the Palm Beach International Boat Show, kicking off its four-day run this week, is set to break records with more than 60 yachts over 100 feet long on display. Last year was also a banner year for superyachts at the show. 

Headliners will include the likes of the 295-foot Corsair Nero ,  the 278-foot Victorious by AKYacht, the 230-foot Turquoise-built Talisman C , and 213-foot Benetti Triumph among brokerage yachts, and in new yachts, the 113-foot Ocean Alexander Puro 35 is making its world debut.  

There are so many gleaming white vessels over 100 feet, in fact, that the fleet will be split between the Palm Harbor Marina at the main show site on the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront and the Safe Harbor Rybovich Marina two miles north. 

Now in its 42nd year, PBIBS will also showcase hundreds of models of dayboats, cruisers, and fishing boats, as well as marine accessories. Running from this Thursday through Sunday, the show coincides with the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show, a fortuitous opportunity for yacht owners wanting to add new art to their collections.

Here are 10 must-see boats at this year’s show.

Corsair Yachts ‘Nero’

The undisputed star of this year’s Palm Beach show? That would be the 295-foot, classically styled superyacht Nero , built in 2007 and inspired by American financier J.P. Morgan’s legendary 1930s steamer Corsair IV . Nero ‘s attendance at PBIBS marks its return to the charter market after an extensive refit in 2021. Now better than new, the boat is being managed by Burgess. With weekly charter rates from $497,000, the vessel offers five-star accommodations for 12 guests in six cabins, with pampering from a crew of 20. Part of the refit included a full interior refresh by Italian interior designer Laura Pomponi, plus a major focus on wellness. That meant the construction of a new, state-of-the-art gym and spa, the assistance of a certified onboard trainer, a masseuse and beautician. After PBIBS, Nero will spend the winter in the Caribbean before returning to the Med for the summer season.

Ocean Alexander Puro 35P

Ocean Alexander is debuting the first of its new Puro superyacht series at PBIBS. The 113-foot Puro 35P comes from the drawing board of Italian designer Giorgio M. Cassetta and is a step back from the polarizing lines of OA’s recent Revolution and Explorer series with their bold, vertical bow designs. Aimed at long-distance cruising, the 35P can carry over 5,000 gallons of fuel and is powered by twin 2,000 hp MAN V12s for a 24-knot top speed. Twin 55kW Kohler generators can also keep the yacht powered at anchor for long periods. Other standout features include extensive glazing in the chiseled fiberglass hull, a forward deck plunge pool, and spacious accommodations for 10 guests. 

Think of it as the “starter” Sirena. Aimed at a younger demographic, the Turkish builder’s brand-new Sirena 48 is making its U.S. debut at PBIBS after a global reveal at last fall’s Cannes boat show. Such is its appeal that 27 hulls have already been sold, with 13 of the orders coming from North America. Looking like a scaled-down version of Sirena’s popular 58, its distinctive, trawler-style lines are from Argentinian designer Germán Frers. With more interior space than a typical 48-footer, the yacht offers three staterooms—plus a crew cabin—a spacious, light-filled salon, a large cockpit, an oversized flybridge, and a vast forward social area. Take your pick from twin 550 hp Cummins QSB, or 670 hp Volvo D11 turbo diesels. Or the builder is also offering hybrid power with twin 285 hp electric motors charged up by variable-speed generators that are good for a 30-mile battery-only range.

Feadship ‘Olympus’

Picture purchasing a classic 180-foot Feadship superyacht, and then getting a $10 million bill for a major refit. That was the case with Olympus , built by the Dutch masters at Feadship in 1996 to a design by Britain’s Andrew Winch and the celebrated naval architect Frits De Voogt. Sold in 2022, the new owner sent it to the Monaco Marine refit center in La Ciotat, France for a major makeover. It included overhauling the 2,600 hp Caterpillar engines and generators, repairs to the structure, substantial upgrades to the guest areas and crew quarters, and new paint throughout. With the work completed just last year, the vessel is said to be in mint condition. Offered jointly by brokers Fraser and Edmiston, Olympus has an asking price of $28.5 million. With accommodations for 16 guests in eight cabins, the boat’s highlights include two primary suites, tropical-spec air conditioning, and Palm Beach-chic decor.

Benetti ‘Triumph’

Italian yachting powerhouse Benetti is showing off its superyacht-building skills with the 213-foot Triumph . Delivered in 2021, this Giorgio M. Cassetta-designed steel-and-aluminum world girder features six decks, a 1,400-square-foot primary suite with outdoor terrace and adjoining lounge, a 750-square-foot beach club, and a touch-and-go helipad. What sets Triumph apart, however, is its lavish interior furnishings put together by the owner along with Benetti Interior Style and Monaco-based Green & Mingarelli Design. It includes pieces by French glassmaker Lalique, marble from Marfil, Statuario and Armani, furs, silk and wool carpets, plus a collection of cool black-and-white wildlife photographs by British fine art photographer David Yarrow. The pièce de résistance? That would be the owner’s Triumph Bonneville motorcycle displayed in the salon.

Fjord 39 XP/XL

Germany’s Fjord Yachts, part of the Hanse Group, has a new 39-foot day boat that it’s unveiling at the Palm Beach show. The 39 XP and XL keep all the bold design cues of the bigger Fjord 41 XP and XL, like a big, open cockpit, walkaround center console, vertical bow, mile-high windshield and stretched hardtop. As for the differences between the XP and XL, it’s all about power. The XL comes with a choice of twin 320hp Volvo D4 diesels, or bigger 440 hp D6 versions, both with Volvo stern drives. Likely more appealing to U.S. buyers will be the XP powered by twin 400 hp Mercury Verado V10 outboards giving a 50-knot top speed. Pricing starts at around $500,000.

Turquoise ‘Talisman C’

Chandeliers don’t come more dramatic than this. Cascading down the central spiral staircase of the Turkish-built, 231-foot superyacht Talisman C , this jaw-dropping piece of art comprises an array of multi-colored glass balls threaded on stainless-steel rods and illuminated by hanging fiber-optic strands. It’s the creation of Prague-based Crystal Caviar and is one of a number of glass installations on this sleek, low-profile superyacht. Built in 2011 by the Proteksan Turquoise shipyard, Talisman C was designed inside and out by London-based studio H2 Yacht Design, with naval architecture by Italy’s Hydro Tec. With cabins for 12 guests, one of its highlights is a huge primary suite, which boasts more crystal chandeliers and a private library. Twin 2,447 hp Caterpillar diesels give a top speed of 18 knots and a transatlantic range of 7,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. It’s listed with Burgess for $59.9 million. 

Sanlorenzo 44 ‘Kamakasa’

Delivered in 2020 and sold to a new buyer just last August, the 146-foot Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy Kamakasa will be for sale at PBIBS. The asking price, through the Italian Yacht Group, is $23.75 million. Lack of use might also be the issue here; the yacht’s twin 2,600 hp MTU V16 diesels have a mere 289 hours on the clock. Built in aluminum to a design by Rome-based Zuccon International Project, Kamakasa was the second hull in the Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy series. One of the top features is a primary suite that spans three levels and almost 1,600 square feet; it also comes with a private Jacuzzi, separate bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a private study. The yacht’s lightweight construction and MTU power combine to deliver an impressive 20-knot top speed.

Bahama 41 GT2

As ultimate, reel-’em-in, fishing center consoles go, the Bahama 41 from West Palm Beach-based Bahama Boat Works is as hard-core as they come. But when owners kept asking for a little more comfort for the family, the builder responded. The result is the brand-new flagship 41 GT debuting at PBIBS. While the proven, wave-slicing hull stays the same, the cockpit layout is new. In place of the single bench seat, there are now three-across bucket seats with a second row behind. The wider console now has space for a pair of 22-inch Garmin screens, while the new extended hardtop features sun shades and even a rain shower. Outboard choices stay the same with either twin Mercury V12 600s, or four 400 hp Mercury V10s, good for a 65-knot-plus top speed. Pricing is from around $920,000.

Heesen ‘Book Ends’

Launched in 2022, this 164-foot Heesen is part of the Book Ends collection, owned by an American couple who have had more than 18 yachts with the same name. The exterior design of this Heesen was by Omega Architects, while Dutch studio Van Oossanen did the naval architecture. The yacht is part of Heesen’s fast cruising series, which is more efficient than other vessels its size, and can reach 23 knots at full speed with its MTU 16V 4000 M65L engines. The yacht is listed through Ocean Independence for 42 million Euro, or about $45.7 million.

Palm Beach International Boat Show returns to West Palm Beach waterfront

The Palm Beach International Boat Show returns this week with more nearly 1,000 vessels on display, including super yachts from around the world.

Tickets are on sale now for the show that runs March 21-24 along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

The show, which started in 1982, has grown to a major economic engine for the community, with last year's impact estimated at $1.05 billion statewide — nearly as much as the $1.3 billion Miami International Boat Show, said Alyssa Freeman, executive director of the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, which owns the boat show.

More: Cool front for South Florida won't be its last even with the first day of spring here

"Palm Beach is really not that far behind Miami, and Miami is the biggest in the world," Freeman said. "That was really exciting."

This year's boat show features an expanded Super Yacht Show at Palm Harbor Marina, showcasing yachts that typically stretch longer than 80 feet and have a variety of luxurious amenities that include hot tubs, crew quarters, dance floors and sun decks.

"We have more super yachts there than we ever have before, and they're even bigger," Freeman said, noting that at 236 feet, the vessel Casino Royale takes the title of largest yacht at this year's show. The title of "most expensive yacht" goes to Come Together, a 196-foot vessel priced at $59.95 million.

"Everybody, when they think about super yachts, they think about Monaco and Miami, but Palm Beach is a real player in these boat shows and the yachting world," Freeman said.

Exhibitors continue to be drawn to the Palm Beach International Boat Show by the opportunity for high sales year after year when compared with other South Florida boat shows, she said.

"I've heard from several of them, this is their favorite show to attend," Freeman said, "And that's why, because their sales are higher at Palm Beach."

The show continues to make headway in improving its sustainability efforts, she said. After reducing single-use plastics, a major change this year is the addition of water bottle refilling stations throughout the show, Freeman said.

"I think that's exciting because everybody's talking about sustainability and how we can be more sustainable," she said. "Every year, we take little steps to be more sustainable."

Freeman said she is excited for this year's AquaZone presented by Nautical Ventures. The attraction showcases some of the "yacht toys" that are new or popular on the market.

"It's so cool, because there are people actually in the water demoing yacht toys, and it's usually the latest and greatest," she said. "There's always something new every year that we've never seen before."

The Palm Beach International Boat Show also features a range of seminars, demonstrations and discussions throughout the weekend, including mental health in yachting, tips to boat to the Bahamas, safe boating to protect sea turtles and how to address active threats and piracy.

Freeman, who has children, said she loves the Kids Fishing Clinics scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with captain Don Dingman.

"Captain Don has been doing this for years, and he does a fantastic job," Freeman said. "The kids actually get to go home with a free rod and reel once the clinic is over."

The association produces the Palm Beach International Boat Show with Informa Markets' U.S. Boat Shows division.

"As we gear up for the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show, we are excited for our return to Downtown West Palm Beach to celebrate the rich history of this esteemed event," Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows at Informa Markets, said in a news release. "Each year, we’re grateful for the warm welcome and support from the community, which truly makes this event a highlight on the calendar for both residents and visitors alike."

Informa also produces the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show happening March 21-24, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. A Windward VIP ticket to the boat show includes admission to the art show as well.

In addition to serving as a cornerstone festival of spring in West Palm Beach, the boat show launched the Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back program to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to local nonprofits, Freeman said.

The grant program had a soft launch last year and formalized the boat show's four-decade practice of giving back to the community, Freeman said.

"We're really excited about it," said Freeman, who added that the boat show team is working with the Community Foundation to manage the grant program, which they hope to grow. "That's something that's a super high priority for us."

Money raised through a portion of the boat show's ticket sales, optional add-ons and some related activities goes toward the fund.

The boat show in February announced that the first round of grants totaling $500,000 would go to 25 nonprofits that have marine-related programs or projects, including Florida Fishing Academy, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Florida Atlantic University, Inlet Grove High School, Palm Beach State College, Sea Turtle Adventures and Friends of Manatee Lagoon.

"We're hoping one day we'll be able to say that it's a million dollars," she said. "So fingers crossed. It relies on the success of the boat show and the support of the community. With that, we will continue to grow."

Speeding driver crossed centerline in deadly Royal Palm Beach crash, PBSO reports

by Nick Viviani

One person is dead, while three others were seriously injured in a crash in Royal Palm Beach on Monday afternoon. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) said units were dispatched Ponce De Leon Street, off Royal Palm Beach Boulevard at 2:41 p.m., to reports of a crash with fire. (WPEC)

ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — A deadly crash on Monday afternoon happened when a speeding vehicle crossed the center line on a sweeping curve and collided with an oncoming truck, according to a new report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office explained Rolando Rancano was heading south on Ponce de Leon Street in Royal Palm Beach shortly after 2:30 p.m. He could not stay in his lane as the road began bending to the right, the report continued. The Labelle man’s 2019 Audi S5 went out of its lane at the apex and into the path of a northbound 2018 Nissan Titan that was hauling a trailer, investigators determined.

The two-vehicle wreck spun both the sedan and the full-size pick-up in addition to toppling the trailer, according to the report.

Rancano, 37, was pronounced dead on the scene.

The three people in the other trailer all suffered serious injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment, the Sheriff’s Office added. One of them was transported by helicopter, while two others were taken by ground transportation, Palm Beach Fire Rescue added.

The Sheriff's Office later noted the Audi driven by Rancano was reported stolen from a grocery store about five minutes before the crash.
