ABOUT PALM BEACH MOTOR YACHTS
In 1995, Mark Richards launched a boat building business in Palm Beach, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. His goal was simple: to build “A Yachtsman’s Power Boat.” Drawing from his experience as an elite ocean racing champion and racing yacht builder, he designed and developed a motor yacht that combined timeless aesthetics with modern features, ensuring comfort, safety, and readiness for adventure. The result, the PB38, was an instant success and became the catalyst for the creation of Palm Beach Motor Yachts.
Today, this brand is a globally celebrated, award-winning yacht manufacturer. The company boasts an impressive line-up of 34 different model variations across its Classic and GT ranges. The Classic models include the PB42, PB45, PB50, PB52, PB55, PB65, PB70, PB85, PB101, and now the PB107, while the GT models comprise the GT50, GT60, and the soon-to-be-released GT70. Throughout this journey, Mark Richards has adhered to a guiding philosophy: to provide customers with products that are as close to perfection as humanly possible.
Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ success is driven by its proprietary V-Warp® Technology, a revolutionary design and construction process derived from Mark Richards’ experience as an ocean-racing champion and shipwright. This technology incorporates a warped, semi-displacement hull form and extensive use of carbon fiber, setting a new industry standard for power-to-weight ratio. This results in class-leading speed, performance, and unrivalled fuel economy in these luxury motor yachts.
In 2014, Palm Beach Motor Yachts was acquired by Grand Bank Yachts Limited (GBY:SP), a publicly traded company on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Today, Mark Richards serves as the CEO, Head Designer, and a Major Shareholder. The company operates a shipyard in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia, and a sales and service headquarters in Stuart, Florida. Additionally, it maintains seven other service and sales offices globally, located in North America, California, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, Sydney, and the Gold Coast in Australia.
