Palm Beach Motor Yachts Unveils the GT50 RS

Palm Beach Motor Yachts has unveiled the GT50 RS, a 50-foot performance cruiser that blends speed with luxury in the outboard-powered segment. The hull relies on the brand’s V-Warp technology, using carbon fiber, E-glass and vinylester in a fully infused monocoque for stiffness and predictable handling. Four Mercury Racing 500R V-8 outboards deliver a combined 2,000 horsepower, with a claimed top end around 50 knots. The design aims to offer rapid commutes while maintaining comfort on varying seas.

Palm Beach pitches the GT50 RS as a lifestyle machine built for fast routes between Connecticut and Long Island, without sacrificing interior refinement. Large opening side windows and a retractable sunroof create an open-air helm experience when conditions permit, while an enclosed salon provides climate-controlled comfort. The interior finishes emphasize luxury, with careful attention to ergonomics and noise reduction at high speed. The result is a versatile platform that can cover long legs quickly and stylishly.

PBM Yachts positions the GT50 RS as a milestone in its evolution toward high-performance, outboard-powered yachts. The combination of a proprietary hull, weight-saving composites and a potent propulsion package aims to redefine what owners expect from a 50-foot crossover. While the focus rests on speed, the model also prioritizes ride quality and convenience for day-cruising and commutes. The GT50 RS signals Palm Beach’s intent to push the boundaries of the category.
