Palm Beach Motor Yachts arrives at the Melbourne Boat Show this October carrying the momentum of a landmark anniversary year, with the Palm Beach 45 set to take centre stage across four days of celebrations.
The brand is marking three decades of design and craftsmanship throughout 2025, and the year got off to a memorable start at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. There, Palm Beach Motor Yachts gathered more than 130 owners, friends, and guests for an evening of tributes and shared history, complemented by four days of busy on-water activity. The Palm Beach 65 and the award-winning Palm Beach 50 both generated strong interest from visitors, further cementing the brand's reputation as one of Australia's most respected builders of luxury motor yachts.
CEO and founder Mark Richards reflected warmly on what the Sanctuary Cove occasion meant to him and the company. "We shared a meaningful tribute with lifelong friends, mentors, and supporters, which made this milestone all the more memorable. I am deeply grateful for our incredible team, for all we have achieved together, and for the support and friendships we've built along the way."
With the northern leg of celebrations behind them, attention now turns to Melbourne. Palm Beach Motor Yachts will be on show at the Melbourne Boat Show from 16 to 19 October, bringing the Palm Beach 45 as its centrepiece exhibit. The model speaks directly to what has defined the brand across thirty years: classic styling, a performance-oriented hull, and interiors that balance relaxed luxury with precise, considered craftsmanship.
Visitors will be able to step aboard for a personal tour conducted by the factory-direct Palm Beach team. The showcase is designed to give people a genuine feel for what separates the marque from the rest, from its efficient hull design and precision construction through to the refined details that make the living spaces aboard a Palm Beach yacht feel both timeless and liveable.
For those who already own a Palm Beach vessel and for those encountering the brand for the first time, Melbourne offers the chance to connect directly with the people behind the boats. The conversations on offer go beyond specifications and price points, touching on the design philosophy that has guided the company from its earliest days and the thinking that continues to shape where it heads next.
For Palm Beach Motor Yachts, 2025 represents a moment to honour thirty years of shared passion while keeping a clear eye on what comes next. The Melbourne Boat Show gives the brand a fitting southern stage to bring that story to a new audience and to welcome back the community of enthusiastic boaters who have been part of the journey all along.
