100+ Superyachts Appearing at the Palm Beach Show—Here’s What to See

The Palm Beach International Boat Show, from March 25 to 29, marks the largest lineup of yachts exceeding 80 feet in U.S. waters. Second only internationally to the Monaco Yacht Show, the event will have upwards of 100 of these yachts. Among ones 150 feet and larger, more than 30 will be present. Several of the superyachts appearing at the Palm Beach show are making their global debuts, too. Others are making their American debuts. These are among the ones you can book to visit.

Ad Astra, whose name means “to the stars” in Latin, is hull number seven in the Moonen Martinique series. LOA: 123 feet. Traditional styling pairs with equally traditional cruising priorities, thanks to a steel displacement hull. Hollander Yacht Design and the owner created a refined interior. A striking orange stripe at her waterline is a subtle nod to Moonen’s home of The Netherlands. Ad Astra is making her global show debut.

If you’re seeking a large superyacht, the Sanlorenzo 62 Steel series, which Alchemist belongs to, may suit. She has a volume of 1,300 gross tons across her five decks and 202 feet of length. Contemporary living at sea is a priority. You’ll find a commodious and private owners’ area, occupying 2,314 square feet on the upper deck. It also has access to a private alfresco area with a hot tub, spreading out over 1,507 square feet.

The yacht Amor à Vida—“love for life” in Portuguese—is one of the most highly anticipated superyachts appearing at the Palm Beach show. Her builder, CRN, hasn’t had a new yacht stateside in several years. Amor à Vida is making her global debut, too. Within her 220 feet of length, the owners arranged spaces for celebrating with friends and family. Simultaneously, they want charter guests to feel welcome. Among the fun amenities are a pizza oven on the and a TV for karaoke bridge deck.

Although delivery took place in 2021, the 251-foot yacht Boardwalk has never been in a boat show until now. Notably, she’s the second-largest of the superyachts appearing at the Palm Beach show. (The biggest is Rocinante, a 257-foot Lurssen from 2008. She launched as Madsummer and exhibited at various shows over the years.)Entertainment was a big priority for the project, owned by Tilman Fertitta, the CEO of the dining, hospitality, and gambling company Landry’s. That therefore accounts for the yacht’s six bars, 120-bottle wine cellar, and 20-foot-long pool, plus seven staterooms.

The owner of Kenshō had an ambitious goal: to re-imagine yacht design to better experience cruising. The unusual metallic paint and styling are your first signs you’re in for something different. Inside, the owner and designer Jouin Manku maximize the voluminous feel from nine feet of headroom. Soft-toned woods, for instance, along with equally subdued leathers and silks never detract from the views. Japanese design elements combine with them, further creating a calm, balanced ambience.

Few true explorers are exhibiting at the show, but Maverick is one of them. Globetrotting owners wishing to venture to the far corners of the world are the target customers for her builder, Cantiere delle Marche. The owners of this 145-footer have already taken her to the Arctic Circle since delivery in 2023. Overall, they wanted to visit areas like Iceland, Greenland, and far northern Canada on a multi-year journey. Onboard amenities include a sauna and a hefty A-frame crane to launch the custom tender, Iceman.

Making her global debut, the first Numarine 40MXP combines sporty and shippy design cues within her 128 feet. “MXP” means “Mediterranean Explorer,” hinting at Med-friendly amenities yet also more traditional long-range purpose. So, for example, you’ll find an infinity pool directly off the swim platform, as part of a terraced beach area. Yet another glass-wrapped pool is one deck up. Distance-wise, Numarine says she’s capable of 6,000 nautical miles at 8 knots.

At 112 feet, the yacht One is among the smaller superyachts appearing at the Palm Beach show, and the projects making their global debuts. Furthermore, she stands out for being entirely custom. Her American owners had strong desires, including five staterooms, a main saloon, a skylounge, and a transformable tender garage/beach club. They entertain large groups amid the four decks as well. With designer Carla Guilhem, they enjoy stylish spaces with lots of organic curves.

Westport Yachts continuously makes styling and arrangement enhancements based on customer requests. That’s why it redesigned its Westport W135/41M Raised Pilothouse Motoryacht series. The new-look hull number one just splashed two months ago and is making her global debut in Palm Beach. An owner’s party of 10 enjoy better views of the surrounding anchorages and more interior volume, 333 gross tons.

Finally, and also making her world debut, the yacht Ximena is a fully custom from Alia Yachts. Within her 141 feet LOA, you’ll find spaces tailor made for cruising the Bahamas and other islands. Notably, she has a glass-fronted gym overlooking the swim platform. Of course, she also has lots of sunning and seating areas outside. The yacht Ximena can access the islands quickly, thanks to a top speed exceeding 22 knots.
