Palm Beach 45 Rivals

Accommodation

The Palm Beach PB45 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Palm Beach PB45 delivers a steady 28 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Palm Beach 50 Open with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots or the Palm Beach 50 Express with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. The Palm Beach PB45 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Palm Beach PB50, with the slowest cruising speed of 26 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Grand Banks Eastbay 44 impresses with its extensive range of 2,200 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Palm Beach PB50, Palm Beach PB42, Palm Beach 50 Express and Palm Beach 50 Open all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Palm Beach 50 Open is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.
