The Palmer Johnson PJ63 redefines the concept of a high-performance day yacht, fusing superyacht-level engineering with unmatched speed and contemporary styling. Designed for thrill seekers who appreciate refined aesthetics and cutting-edge marine technology, the PJ63 is a 63-foot open sport yacht built for both excitement and elegance on the water.
Sleek Design Meets Performance Engineering
At 19.4 meters (63.7 ft) in length with a beam of 6.3 meters, the PJ63 boasts the largest open lounge space in its class. It features a fully carbon fiber hull and superstructure, which offers a combination of lightweight strength, reduced fuel consumption, and unmatched rigidity. The result? Smooth, stable cruising—even at speeds over 35 knots.
Triple Volvo Penta IPS600 engines provide superior maneuverability, while joystick controls and dynamic positioning allow the yacht to move with precision. The innovative hull design improves fuel efficiency by up to 33% compared to traditional models, making the PJ63 both eco-conscious and performance-driven.
Open Air Living, Maximum Comfort
The Palmer Johnson PJ63 is not just about speed. It’s about social luxury. The outdoor deck is optimized for sun, sea, and style, offering expansive lounge areas, a sunbed, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Whether anchored in St. Barts or cruising the Amalfi Coast, the PJ63 turns heads everywhere.
Inside, the yacht features a master suite, a forward VIP cabin, and a galley-salon area—all finished in custom materials with minimalist elegance. Smart lighting, soundproofing, and optional Bang & Olufsen entertainment systems enhance the onboard experience.
