The 23.24-metre Palm Beach 70 is unusual because the same basic yacht can become several different kinds of private escape. Sedan, extended sedan, flybridge, extended flybridge and skylounge versions allow owners to decide whether their ideal long weekend revolves around open-air driving, upper-deck entertaining or a more enclosed all-weather retreat.
Five configurations create genuinely different lifestyles
Palm Beach does not limit customisation to fabrics and timber choices. The PB70 can be ordered in several major deck configurations, changing where guests gather, how the helm relates to the social spaces and how much protected upper-deck living the yacht provides.
A couple cruising mostly in warm weather may prefer the simplicity of a sedan, while an owner entertaining larger groups may value an extended flybridge or skylounge. The same hull therefore adapts to different definitions of a good weekend.
The cockpit remains the social centre
Regardless of configuration, the aft cockpit is a major part of the design and can be tailored around dining, lounging and access to the water. Palm Beach emphasises the ability to customise furniture and layout rather than forcing every owner into a standard arrangement.
This is where many private owners spend most of their time. A cockpit that suits breakfast, swimming, sundowners and informal dinners can have more effect on enjoyment than an elaborate feature used only occasionally.
Efficiency supports spontaneous coastal travel
The PB70 combines lightweight construction with Palm Beach's V-WARP hull philosophy and publishes cruising speeds around 28 knots. Optional power packages can deliver useful range at 21 knots, giving the yacht enough pace to expand a weekend itinerary without turning every passage into an all-day event.
For owners with limited time, speed is valuable because it creates more destination choices within the same number of days. A Friday departure can reach farther, while Sunday does not have to be dominated by a slow return passage.
Luxury becomes more personal when the layout fits the owner
A highly polished yacht can still feel wrong if the galley, helm or entertaining areas do not match the way the owner actually spends time aboard. Palm Beach's broad configuration choices allow those practical decisions to be made early.
The result is a form of luxury that is less about visible excess and more about fit. The best version of the PB70 is not necessarily the most elaborate; it is the one that makes the owner's normal weekend feel effortless.
