Palmer Johnson Yachts’ 48M SuperSport is a Sailing Beauty:
Palmer Johnson Yachts are the premier designers and builders of luxury yachts. They are associated with vision, evolution and innovation. The brand launched the SuperSport series in the year 2012.
These next-generation carbon fiber yachts come with revolutionary hull design. They are fast, efficient, stable and spacious. Their design prevents green seas from coming over deck in extreme conditions at high speeds.
Palmer Johnson Yachts’ gold colored 48M SuperSport yacht was spotted cruising in the Sturgeon Bay shipping channel recently. This luxury yacht appears like a spaceship from some angles. Its cool design turned many heads.
This amazing yacht is the first of its kind. Its hull and superstructure are made from carbon composite, which has helped reduce the overall weight significantly.
Speaking about the use of carbon composite, Berkley March, Palmer Johnson Yachts’ Head of Design, says, “Basically it helps us reduce the structural weight by two-thirds. So it’s a third of what a conventional hull would weigh. So that helps us reduce the power needed to push it through the water”. While designing this luxury yacht, Palmer Johnson Yachts has left the status quo behind and taken many bold decisions.
The 48M SuperSport’s overall length is 49 meters; and beam overall is 11 meters. Gross tonnage is 490, which is much less than a regular yacht. The yacht is powered by MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines.
This luxury yacht can easily reach 32 knots. It can comfortably accommodate around 12 passengers and nine crew members across its three decks. The owner’s room balcony and skylights give special and private space. They add light and space to the room.
Even though the price of this luxury yacht is not yet confirmed, reliable sources say that it could be in tens of millions of dollars.
This beauty is sure to attract the attention of the uber-rich of this world.
