New Palm Beach PB85 Sedan Yacht to Attend the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

The 28m Palm Beach PB85 Sedan will make its global debut at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where it is expected to be the largest new model on display. 

Staying true to the design heritage of Palm Beach, the PB85 Sedan presents a timeless, low-profile silhouette defined by sweeping lines and a purposeful stance. Delivered earlier this year, the motor yacht Falcon will serve as the show representative for the new model.

Inside the PB85 Sedan

The open-plan saloon flows directly to the aft cockpit, providing a unified social hub ideal for entertaining on board the yacht. Palm Beach’s hallmark craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the fine joinery to the clean-lined furnishings and subtle use of natural materials.

There are several interior layout options of the superyacht tailored to the owner's preference. The standard configuration includes three guest cabins for up to six guests, though the layout can be expanded to as many as five staterooms with additional accommodation for crew. Below deck, the staterooms are designed for privacy and comfort, while maximizing usable space within the hull’s elegant profile.

On the Water: Speed and Stability

The hull of the motor yacht has been carefully engineered to deliver smooth handling and low fuel consumption across a wide cruising range. The use of lightweight GRP for both hull and superstructure ensures responsive performance while keeping maintenance demands low.

Powered by twin engines driving screw propellers, Falcon reaches a top speed of 26 knots and cruises comfortably at 23 knots. With a fuel capacity of 10,000 liters, she combines performance with impressive range, making her suited for extended coastal or island cruising.

Other World Premieres Worth Seeing at FLIBS 2025

While the Palm Beach PB85 Sedan stands as the largest world debut at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, several smaller models are also making their global premieres, each bringing its own appeal for prospective buyers.

At 21m, the Riviera 64 Sports Motor Yacht Series II offers a more compact yet highly capable cruising platform compared to the PB85 Sedan. With four staterooms and a fully enclosed flybridge, this bluewater-ready model refines Riviera’s successful 64-foot line with enhanced functionality, improved interior comfort, and a more versatile deck layout. It is ideal for buyers seeking performance and luxury in a manageable size bracket.

For those who prefer open-air dayboating, the 16m Solaris Power 52 Open ST represents Italian craftsmanship focused on lifestyle and social space. Compared to the PB85’s enclosed saloon configuration, the 52 ST emphasizes exterior living, with the longest deck layout in its class and seating for up to 14 guests. Its 35-knot top speed and sleek, modern design make it a compelling choice for Mediterranean or coastal U.S. cruising.
