Experience the Revitalisation of the 52.4-metre DB9 Palmer Johnson Yacht: Championing Elegance and Power in its New Avatar
The famed 52.4-meter Palmer Johnson sports yacht, DB9, has experienced a revived lease on life. Following an extended and rigorous refurbishment over 18 months at the Monaco Marine’s facilities in La Seyne-sur-Mer, the revitalised DB9 stands proud and ready for a remarkable summer of sailing the South of France and Italy.
The transformational refurbishment has brought about a wave of significant modifications to this renowned yacht. Primary among these is the hull repaint, in a captivating metallic light grey, which is a notable departure from the yacht’s previous iconic champagne-and-red exterior design. Augmenting this exterior redesign is the updating of the exterior decks upholstery, providing a crisp and fresh feel to the overall outside space.
The superyacht isn’t just about relaxation though - it caters to fitness enthusiasts as well. With state-of-the-art fitness equipment, including a treadmill and workout bicycle, wellness on board is given a prime pedestal. Further, the superyacht’s jacuzzi and swimming platform are fully refreshed and ready for those rejuvenating dips.
One of the few PJ170 Sport Yacht models, DB9 has always led the pack of luxury vessels with unique hallmark features. These include a sizeable swimming pool on the foredeck that smartly doubles as storage for a ultra-modern 6.5-meter tender and room for two Jet Skis on the foredeck.
Optimised for cruising comfort, DB9 boasts a spacious sundeck complete with a spa pool, alfresco dining on the main deck, and accommodation for ten guests. It’s not just about languorous luxury, the revitalised DB9 can reach an impressive top speed of 32 knots. Riding the waves smoothly, the yacht’s post-refit Naiad stabilisation system, equipped with four carbon electric fins, promises additional comfort while underway and at anchor.
Embodying elegance, power, and innovation, the remodelled DB9 is more than equipped to deliver the epitome of a luxurious maritime venture, making every journey a masterpiece of the seas. Let the adventure begin!
