Every great company has a story. Palmer Johnson has a great storied history – an authentic brand whose story for almost a century has been about vision, evolution and innovation.
From humble beginnings as a wooden boat builder to the famous Palmer Johnson yachts winning every major championship race in the golden era of sailing yachts, to the groundbreaking design of its Sport Yachts of the last decade and now to its revolutionary SuperSport series, brand values of design, performance and emotional appeal have been a constant – core values deeply embodied in the spirit of the company and reinforced and manifested in its beautiful yachts.
It is also a story of people, of a team of third and fourth generation families who live and breathe Palmer Johnson, and the great yacht designers and naval architects who have worked with Palmer Johnson during the last century. Every one of the more than 200 Palmer Johnson yachts built is still afloat today, a true testament to the pride and passion of its people.
Palmer Johnson has long been an innovator in yachting. A pioneer in aluminium construction, now again in carbon fibre, both advanced materials of their time. Fortuna, built for the King of Spain, fastest yacht in the world for a decade. Turmoil, first explorer yacht built and which has circumnavigated the earth three times. La Baronessa, the largest aluminium yacht built in the USA.
And the story is as compelling today. The Palmer Johnson Sport Yachts shaped a recent era in sport yachting.
The next generation SuperSport Yachts now create a new class of SuperYacht that is fast, efficient, stable and delivers a revolutionary yachting experience.
Shaping the future of yachting. Again.
One of the most advanced vessels ever conceived, the Palmer Johnson World is a mega-yacht of epic proportions.
Designed by Rolls-Royce Marina in collaboration with the luxury boat specialists over at Palmer Johnson, this impressive 81-meter ship is currently being built in Norway and will feature some of the most impressive (and environmentally friendly) technologies ever developed for something of its kind. It boasts special “ice operating” capabilities, which means it can go places most yachts don’t dare to venture, such as the Arctic and the Antarctic.
The World can accommodate up to 12 guests, in addition to a crew of 27. Kept safe by state of art security features, such as a thermal imaging system, water cannons, and even a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) which can be used a sonic weapon, the yacht’s occupants will be able to fully enjoy the ultimate in style and luxury.
While no official price has been announced as of yet, the Palmer Johnson World is expected to be sold for around $150 million.
