The yachts making their debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025

Kicking off on 19 March and running until 23 March, the Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) is becoming one of the number-one boat shows for big yachts. As brokers bring some of the most expensive yachts for sale to the show, shipyards are also putting new launches and some of the world's largest yachts on the global stage. Stay in the know as BOAT rounds up some of the yachts making their global and US debuts. 

Go

Length: 45m
Builder: Tankoa Yachts
Year: 2024

The first unit in the Italian yard's T450 series, Go, was sold to a "young" North American client in late 2021, who requested several customisations to the model, including larger windows on the main deck and a longer upper deck saloon. This resulted in an increased interior volume from 435GT to 450GT, with accommodation encompassing a main deck master cabin and five lower deck guest cabins. The 45-metre superyacht has an exterior by Giorgio M. Cassetta, with onboard highlights including a hydromassage tub and shaded dining area on the sundeck, as well as a dedicated gym on the upper deck and a fire pit in the bow. Don't miss the beach club with opening side platforms that wrap around the stern and a sliding sunpad that closes the swimming pool during navigation.

Priceless

Length: 35.8m
Builder: Westport
Year: 2024

The Palm Beach boat show marks the big return of US-based shipyard Westport with its new W117 series. Construction on the first unit, named Priceless, began in 2022 following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions. The yard would then launch the 35.8-metre raised pilothouse model in November 2024 ahead of her debut at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show. Accommodation is for 10 guests, including a main deck master cabin with a his-and-hers bathroom and backlit Majelite headboard. Look out for the beach club bar and a flybridge fitted with a centreline hot tub, settees, barbecue and bar.

Bravissima

Length: 61m
Builder: Benetti
Year: 2023

Construction of the full-custom superyacht Bravissima began in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, so to ensure she made her delivery date, the yard used 3D technology. Designer Giorgio Cassetta's work is seen on the interior and exterior, while hull lines are courtesy of Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Expect a range of convivial areas, space for dive gear and a bow which acts as a touch-and-go helipad. This is the first time the world will lay eyes on Bravissima as she makes her global debut.

Diamond Binta

Length: 58m
Builder: Tankoa Yachts
Year: 2024

Now listed for sale, Diamond Binta made her world premiere at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show and is now making her US debut. The worldwide explorer is designed comes from long-time Tankoa collaborator Francesco Paszkowski Design with an interior by the designer in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. Amenities to get a closer look at are the forward helipad on the upper deck and the sundeck setup with a gym and pool. Stepping on board, a glass-encased corridor stretches from the beach club to the cabins directly through the engine room, offering a glimpse at the inner workings of the superyacht. The beach club (with a treatment room) benefits from light filtering in from all angles – think glass wall, side terraces and a skylight from the main deck.

Fox

Length: 34.9m
Builder: Pendennis
Year: 2024

The highly-anticipated 34.9-metre yacht Fox borrows her name from one of Falmouth's 19th-century scientists, Robert Were Fox the Younger. He invented a special type of compass that ultimately guided the expedition that discovered the South Pole – a fitting namesake, then, for a compact explorer. British studio Q London is responsible for interior and exterior styling, characterised by an expansive open aft deck which measures 103.5 square metres and is capable of storing a pair of 7.5-metre tenders (not to mention Jet Skis, quad bikes and a sub). Other crowd-pleasing features include a DJ station, a glass-walled sky lounge and a dedicated wine fridge. This yacht is making her US debut following her official premiere at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival.

Daybreak

Length: 52.3m   
Builder: Baglietto   
Year: 2024

Two new motor yachts from Baglietto will make their US debuts. First up? The 52.3-metre Daybreak, which hit the water as Dopamine in June 2024. Francesco Paszkowski is responsible for the exterior, while the "ultra-contemporary" interior is by Studio Vafiadis – "inspired by the American Deco art movement", reflected in the teak flooring, Calacata Macchia Vecchia marble and onyx accents. The series' stand-out features include the 24 metre-long sundeck, which houses sunlounging areas and an infinity pool that is "unrivalled on the market" according to the Italian yard.

Jules

Length: 40.9m
Builder: Baglietto
Year: 2024

The 40.9-metre yacht Jules was designed by Stefano Vafiadis with naval architecture developed by Sydac. The interior of the semi-custom yacht is courtesy of Leonardo Santi, and they pay tribute to major sportscar brands, as seen in the guest cabins which are designed in shades of Lamborghini orange and Ferrari red, green and blue. Accommodation is for up to 11 across five staterooms with quarters for a crew of nine. Jules boasts fold-down platforms and two pools with a convertible floor space on the main deck aft.

Abigail

Length: 37.5m
Builder: Majesty Yachts, Gulf Craft  
Year: 2024

Gulf Craft will be debuting its Majesty 120 yacht Abigail and a new Majesty 140 model at this year's show. The UAE-based shipyard launched the fifth unit in November 2024 and the 37.5-metre superyacht departed on her maiden voyage to the US ahead of her debut at Palm Beach. Recognisable by her custom grey paint job in shades of "Liquid Silver" and "Futura Dark Grey", the yacht's naval architecture is owed to Soyaslan Marine while her interiors are the work of Italian designer Cristiano Gatto. Don't miss the sofa seating and sunpads in the bow as she makes her debut in US waters.
