Palm Beach GT60 For Sale

The Palm Beach GT60 is a 19.85-metre sport motor yacht that marries the builder’s Downeast pedigree with a sleek, effortlessly seductive profile. Timeless yet unmistakably contemporary, she is designed for owners who want the sea-keeping and craftsmanship of a classic Palm Beach wrapped in a lower, sportier and more dynamic form. Exquisite lines, superior fit and finish and advanced composite construction combine in a yacht that looks as assured at the dock as she feels under way across varied sea conditions.

At the core of the GT60 is Palm Beach’s proprietary V-WARP Technology, a warped semi-displacement hull laid up in high-grade E-Glass with epoxy resins and extensive carbon fibre, fused to the deck, bulkheads and superstructure for a light, stiff and exceptionally strong platform. The result is the soft, dry and level ride that defines the marque, delivered with notable efficiency. Standard twin Volvo Penta IPS 950S engines of 725 horsepower give a top speed in the mid-30-knot range and a comfortable cruise, while the optional twin IPS 1350S of 1,000 horsepower, or a twin 1,000-horsepower Volvo D13 jet-drive package with Hamilton HJ403 waterjets, lift top speed towards 40 knots for owners who prize outright performance and shallow-water versatility. Range extends to around 622 nautical miles depending on configuration.

Below decks the GT60 accommodates up to four guests across two en-suite staterooms, each finished in the warm, hand-crafted timber joinery for which Palm Beach is renowned. The accommodation is bright, beautifully detailed and generously proportioned for a yacht of this sporting character, with comfortable berths, well-appointed heads and thoughtful storage that make weekends and longer coastal cruises equally civilised.

The main deck is designed for sociable, single-level living, flowing from a capable galley through a light-filled saloon to a deep cockpit, with large glazing and opening arrangements that keep guests connected to the water. The cockpit and swim platform make boarding, swimming and tender handling easy, while the foredeck provides additional lounging in the sun. As with every Palm Beach, secure side decks and seamanlike detailing make the GT60 reassuring to handle in all conditions.

Conceived under founder and champion ocean racer Mark Richards, the GT60 is built factory-direct and individually finished to each owner’s specification, ensuring that every example is a genuinely bespoke yacht. For those seeking style, sports appeal and unrivalled Palm Beach build quality in a mid-size sport cruiser, the GT60 offers a rare blend of elegance, performance and sea-keeping that rewards every time the lines are slipped.
