It is an elegant gentleman's boat. I know it's a quality build, but the price is high. Great tour. Good to see an Aussie making this type of content. 🇦🇺 😊
Hey Rex, great hearing from you again. I’m more a sports flybrudge man, but Palm Beach boats looks classy on the water we see a few around the Pittwater and they’re very very easy on the eye.
When it comes to sedan style yachts, there are only two that I would purchase, Palm Beach and Mulder. Palm Beach yachts are drop dead gorgeous and the level of customization is simply outstanding. For me it is a toss up between the PB 70 and the PB80. Either would suit the admiral and I quite well and this PB70 is quite nice though I would choose a different wood.
@@darthkek1953 I liked both the Cockwell Duchy and the Elling. As for Zeelander, I am not a fan, though they are a nice yacht. Size wise, 65' is the smallest but 75' - 85' is preferred.
OK a few negative comments down below so I want to chip-in if I can. Palm Beach are founded by Mark Richards, an America's Cup bloke. AC is all about high-tech and seaworthiness, being both bleeding-edge tech wise but also secure and safe. Whilst I can see why a broker would emphasise the luxury of the boat, the "lived feel", that's second fiddle to the real design behind the boat - seaworthiness. The engines and tanks are moved forward from most boat to a central location, it's why you don't get the mid-ship full beam masters of most boats of this type. The construction also includes hull-infused bulkheads for rigidity. Finally everything above deck is carbon fibre not GRP. This means the weight of the boat (centre of gravity) is low, and central. It makes for the smoothest wave-slicing ride you can get. So good it uses half or less of other boats of its type, it's just brutally, crazily efficient. And stable. I really admire the almost fanatical dedication to engine & fuel placement, they make accommodation to fit engine location not place engines to maximise accommodation. The result is a the opposite of a Gin Palace Harbour Queen. This is BOAT first, BEDS second. There are some EU makers who have the same idea, for example Elling (Netherlands) you access the engine from panels in the kitchen (galley) because it's so centrally located. But their reason was this reason - sea-keeping. Low weight, central weight. You can't beat the physics of it. There are many good YT videos on Palm Beach but the two most important I would suggest a watch are "Palm Beach Motor Yachts: The Sailor’s Powerboat" which goes through construction, and "Mark Richards Interview | Palm Beach Motor Yachts" where he talks about it from a personal perspective. If you want a couple more watches, BoatTest (back under Captain Steve) have two reviews (split into Features and Performance) and the Performance ones will show you sea-trials. The slightly retro "Gentleman's Launch" styling might not be to everyone's taste, if you like the Italian "seven star hotel" look with a busy mix of modern materials, that's horses for courses. Personally I love the woodwork and it'll hold up for years and decades, the glue-on fabrics look great at a boat show but can look worn out after 10 years. The slight disrespect in the comments I think would be put to rest if anyone where to be given a sea-trial of a PB on a choppy day followed by a more conventional boat (let alone a flybridge) in the same conditions, plus then see the big difference in fuel use. PB would then earn ANYONE'S respect.
@darthkek1953 they are, no doubt, a beautiful and very well craft vessel. However, I'm not convinced the gaping big water trap in the bow makes for a sea worthy boat. Handling "chop" is vastly different than battling into any kind of swell out at sea. I can't see the point of dropping that amount of money for a boat to just motor about Sydney harbour.
Hi Teo, thanks for watching. I’d love to jump on board a Hinkley I’ve heard a lot about them. We don’t see a lot in the Southern Hemisphere but I’m told they’re gorgeous boats. 😊👍 - Scott

Hey great to hear from you ! Somebody else in the comments said that I failed to realise that that sunken lounge was a spa ? to be honest when I did the video I didn’t notice any spa jets so maybe I did miss it.

Palm Beach are exceptionally seaworthy. I'm making a "main post" about them but fear not, they have some of the best seakeeping of any yacht in production. So many reasons but I don't want to duplicate effort for a post, I'll be making a main post in this channel later today.

Faked American yacht? Palm Beach Yachts was founded by Mark Richards in 1995 in the town of Palm Beach (wait for it), Australia, 28 miles north of Sydney (a city also located in Australia that you may have heard of). Now a division of Grand Banks with Aussie Mark Richards continuing as CEO, neither PBY nor Richards have ever claimed to have American roots.
@@VoxOptimatium hi there, I actually live about 10 minutes from the PB service agent in Sydney and often walk down to see up to 10 beauties lined up for various work 😊👍
@VoxOptimatium Please excuse my ignorance, but like most Americans, I don't know much about Australia. What we do know a shit load about is cheap construction. When I say Palm Beach boat show, where are you going? Somewhere near Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, perhaps Miami? All 6000 miles away from .....
Hi there, thanks for watching 👍 Yes there are so many different Boats these days but in actual fact Palm Beach are quite well established mostly in North America and have a very very good name and waitlist. Can be up to 3 years for a boat like this because of the high high-quality and manufacturing standards, but hearing about new Boats every day I’ve never heard of such as the size of the marine industry today. I hope you watch some more videos and enjoy some more and please leave more comments 😊👍 - Scott
It's walnut, it's not a toilet it's a head, a VIP is not an owners suite, not much of a boater are you, 70 ft and no eating area not much of gentlemen to eat off the sofa in salon or as the british say saloon. Boat has beautiful lines but not much of an interior for 70ft and you don't show a boat without an appointment and certainly not with a boat full of oat show guests, don't give up your day job. Boat is likely overpriced and under apportioned for those with too much cash for the brains god gave them.
@@weloveboating Negative is good it makes us all better but as the owner of national boat shows I should not pick on little channels that are just starting out in the boating world. It's a tough business, i remember 30 years ago, best of luck Scott.

Me thinks the dole should be increased so those that those that earn $300 thousand a year can afford a modest home. Once govt tenants were looked down upon, now they are more fortunate than mortgage holders as their rent is fixed to 25% of their income. Mortgage holders go to charities for free food while govt tenants eat steak and buy what they want. Feel sorry for the working poor they can't buy justice. They can't buy business class tickets, they can't go on holiday for 6 weeks. They may have no future, that's free, courtesy of the LNP and the new Labour party.
