News: New Model GT50 RS Launched At Palm Beach

Palm Beach GT50 RS Launched
​

Palm Beach Motor Yachts is typically known for its line of inboard powered performance yachts that blend braun and a hint of modern downeast styling. Their newest model to hit the water is the GT50 RS which is the first of a broader line of 'RS' yachts coming from the builder. Under construction, the yard has the GT60 RS as well as the even larger GT70 RS.

The GT50 RS breaks from the ranks with outboard power. Instead of being run by the usual inboard arrangement, the power is strapped to the stern in the form of quad Mercury Racing 500R outboards. These combine for 2,000 horse power. Top speed with this 50-foot boat is 50-knots. While there is a lot of power hanging off the back of this yacht, the proprietary V-Warp Technology® also contributes to the performance. The yacht’s lightweight carbon fiber, E-glass and vinylester construction, combined with fully infused monocoque engineering all come together as a sturdy structure designed for performance.

The interior incorporates contemporary Carbon fiber accents, beautiful Alcantara fabric finishes, and precision-crafted detailing throughout the entire motor yacht. These modern materials are balanced by the yard's high-gloss teak timberwork along with handcrafted finish work. Below deck there is a forward accommodation that is fitted with King-sized bedding and finished to a degree that is generally not seen in the outboard center console market. Given what Palm Beach does with remainder of their line-up there is no center console feel with the GT50 RS.

With additional GT RS models including GT60 RS and GT70 RS already under construction, the GT50 RS marks another milestone in the evolution of Palm Beach Motor Yachts and reflects the company’s continued investment in innovation, advanced engineering, new product, and owner-driven design. The first hull according to the builder will serve as a stylish commuter between Connecticut and Long Island — transforming the often-demanding run between destinations into something genuinely exciting, even in challenging conditions.
