Creating an entirely new design for the Palmer Johnson Super Sport series meant leaving the status quo behind. It required the clever use of advanced technology and materials. The Palmer Johnson SuperSport series has been completely re-imagined from the hull up.

It sounds impossible for a yacht to be faster, more efficient, more stable and more spacious without compromising performance or comfort however the new Palmer Johnson SuperSport Series superyachts have achieved this.

The sleek and stunning carbon fibre body was designed with not a single flat surface. The next generation shape was achieved by relentlessly considering every detail – so that all the elements play together, including those not seen.

The new Palmer Johnson SuperSport Series has an innovative wavepiercer displacement hull. The slender main hull increases efficiency with sponsons that have a positive effect on stability, roll dampening, speed and power. The new SuperSport Series by Palmer Johnson will be 3 times more stable than a monohull, have a wave piercing bow that reduces pitching and will be more comfortable with no slamming as yacht goes through waves and not over them. The yachts will be able to cruise at 30+ Knots with 50% less fuel and will have a Transatlantic range.

On the new SuperSport Series by Palmer Johnson, every surface is curved and finely shaped. The superyachts have a sculpted waistline and aggressive flair in the fore section, muscular haunches, a predatory stance and a sleek profile. The clean design hides yacht handling gear, keeping the decks clear for guests and potential charterers.

The interior space is also impressive with full length windows with open bulwarks in the Salon and Skylounge, enabling an incredible amount of light to permeate the interior, bringing the outside environment it. The Aft decks were also designed for indoor/outdoor living with sensational views through the haunches. On the lower level is a spacious beach club.
