The 20.63-metre Palm Beach GT60 RS takes the Australian builder's elegant GT philosophy and adds four Mercury V12 600 outboards. The result is not simply a high-performance yacht; it is a fast weekend platform where two en-suite cabins, broad entertaining areas and a lower galley keep the social spaces open and uncluttered.
Four outboards change the character of the yacht
Quad 600-horsepower V12 outboards give the GT60 RS a very different personality from Palm Beach's more traditional inboard cruisers. The machinery is visible and unapologetically performance-focused, yet it frees valuable internal volume and supports shallow-water operation.
For owners, the appeal is less about using full performance continuously than having it available when the day calls for a fast coastal run. A distant lunch anchorage or weekend destination becomes easier to reach without turning the passage into the main event.
Two en-suite cabins make speed compatible with weekends away
The standard arrangement provides two queen-berth en-suite staterooms, allowing two couples to stay aboard without sharing bathroom facilities. That privacy turns the yacht from a dramatic day boat into a genuinely useful weekend platform.
A lower galley keeps much of the main-deck volume available for entertaining and views. Guests can move between indoor and outdoor spaces without the saloon feeling dominated by domestic equipment, while the galley remains close enough for normal private use.
The design keeps the social areas visually light
Palm Beach uses airy glazing, restrained materials and its familiar low-profile styling to prevent the yacht's performance equipment from overwhelming the atmosphere. The cockpit and saloon are designed to feel like one long social environment rather than separate compartments.
This matters when a yacht is used by a small group. People can spread out to read, eat or relax while still feeling connected, which often creates a more natural weekend rhythm than several formal rooms divided by doors and steps.
Performance becomes valuable when it creates more choice
The GT60 RS is a specialised yacht, but its strongest lifestyle argument is simple: speed widens the map. Owners can choose destinations that would feel too far for a short break on a slower boat and still retain time to enjoy them.
That makes the yacht particularly suited to owners with limited leisure time. The luxury is not only the engineering or finish; it is the ability to fit more sea, more destinations and more spontaneity into the same weekend.
