\n The Palm Beach 70 \u201cwas born from customer demand\u201d for a larger Palm Beach yacht, says Mark Richards, CEO.<\/span>\n Courtesy Palm Beach Motor Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n

The recently launched Palm Beach 70<\/a> meets customers’ plea for a larger version of Palm Beach<\/a> cruisers as well as the builder’s performance and aesthetic standards, says Mark Richards, Palm Beach Motor Yachts CEO. The almost 75-foot yacht (LOA) includes a flybridge, an inset bow lounge and three staterooms belowdecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Palm Beach 70\u2019s \u201cbowrider\u201d feature is a recessed seating area far forward on the foredeck \u2014 a unique way to watch the world go by while underway and a feature that \u201chearkens back to the glory days of commuter yachts,\u201d the builder says. It\u2019s not the only place to catch a breeze and a view, however; the yacht\u2019s flybridge provides both as well. Plus, its constructed of infused carbon fiber, as is everything else above the yacht\u2019s sheerline to achieve a low center of gravity, and in turn, enhance stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Below the sheerline, the Palm Beach 70\u2019s semidisplacement warped hull form was \u201cdesigned to go through the water rather than wasting energy to get on top of the water,\u201d the builder says. Her bow stays in the sea, even at top speeds. And thanks to twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS 1350s and a draft of 4 feet 3 inches, the Palm Beach 70 cruises at 32 knots and has a 38-knot top-end speed. However, the alternative power option found on hull #1 of the 70 \u2014 twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta D13 shafts \u2014 delivers an even shorter draft of 3 feet 7 inches, a 24-knot cruise speed and a 793-nautical-mile range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Step inside the 70 and you\u2019ll find a salon squared off by two facing L-shaped settees aft, with a dining table adjoining the settee to port. The captain will never go hungry at the helm station forward and to starboard thanks to the adjacent U-shaped galley. And should guests prefer to dine alfresco, they can step out into the cockpit where a dining table awaits with access to the teak swim platform on either side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Palm Beach 70\u2019s accommodations belowdecks include a master stateroom amidships and to port, which has sliding doors to open up the space when desired. Forward is a private head with a glass-enclosed shower and opposite is a laundry unit convenient for long-range cruising. Stowage like the master\u2019s hanging locker as well as the forepeak VIP\u2019s hanging locker and built-in chest of drawers are also useful for such trips. The VIP\u2019s centerline berth is a queen and guests can awake with the sun thanks to a hatch overhead. The third and final guest stateroom is aft and to starboard and has twin berths. Its head also doubles as a day head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Beyond this new flagship, Palm Beach Motor Yachts is also expanding its fleet with a new express cruiser, the Palm Beach GT50<\/a>. The GT50 is the first model in a whole GT series, which should include a 60- and 70-foot model as well. Learn more about Palm Beach Motor Yachts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
