A MASTERFUL FUSION OF SUPERYACHT HERITAGE, REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY & TIMELESS DESIGN
A NEW EXPRESSION OF PALMER JOHNSON
For more than a century, Palmer Johnson has stood at the forefront of luxury yacht design, engineering innovation, and uncompromising craftsmanship. With the PJ63 Open Sport, the legendary American shipyard brings the sophistication, distinctive styling, and technological expertise of its iconic superyachts into an extraordinary 63-foot open sport yacht.
The result is a yacht unlike any other in its class: a bold expression of individuality, performance, and contemporary luxury that challenges conventional expectations of what a sport cruiser can be.
The PJ63 embodies Palmer Johnson's unmistakable design DNA, combining sculpted surfaces, sweeping architectural lines, and an aggressive yet elegant profile. Its signature reversed bow, flowing shoulders, and distinctive unibody silhouette create an instantly recognizable presence on the water.
REVOLUTIONARY TRI-HULL TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of the PJ63 is Palmer Johnson's advanced tri-hull architecture, a refinement of the groundbreaking technology developed for the shipyard's celebrated 48-meter superyacht, KHALILAH.
Unlike conventional planing hulls, the PJ63 features an exceptionally slender central hull complemented by carefully engineered side sponsons. This innovative configuration is designed to reduce hydrodynamic resistance, improve stability, and deliver an exceptionally smooth and efficient ride.
Its fine-entry bow and sophisticated underwater geometry help minimize slamming, reduce pitching, and maintain a remarkably level running attitude, even during high-speed maneuvering.
The result is a unique combination of agility, comfort, and confidence at sea, with handling characteristics that distinguish the PJ63 from traditional high-performance sport yachts.
ADVANCED CARBON-COMPOSITE ENGINEERING

Built using sophisticated Gurit SPRINT composite technology, the yacht's predominantly carbon-composite structure combines exceptional strength, structural rigidity, and reduced weight. Selected sections of the hull bottom incorporate glass fiber to improve impact absorption and acoustic comfort.
This advanced construction philosophy contributes to the PJ63's exceptional performance, fuel efficiency, and refined onboard experience.
According to Palmer Johnson's original design documentation, the advanced hull concept was developed to achieve fuel-consumption and associated emissions reductions of approximately 33–50% compared with selected conventional yacht configurations.
PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The PJ63 was conceived to deliver exhilarating performance without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.
The original PJ63 demonstrated a maximum speed approaching 34 knots, while its advanced hull geometry allowed for exceptionally efficient cruising and a remarkably composed ride.
For future new-build opportunities, an upgraded triple Volvo Penta D8-IPS800 propulsion package, delivering a combined 1,800 horsepower, is proposed, subject to shipyard engineering approval and final performance validation.
More than simply achieving impressive speeds, the PJ63 is designed to maintain stability, comfort, and predictable handling across a broad range of cruising conditions.
It is performance delivered with refinement: exhilarating when desired, effortless when cruising.
EXCEPTIONAL SPACE. EXTRAORDINARY COMFORT.
With an impressive 6.29-meter (20'8") beam, the PJ63 offers an expansive open deck lounge that rivals the outdoor entertaining spaces of substantially larger yachts.
The remarkable beam creates generous social areas, expansive sunpads, comfortable seating arrangements, and wide walkways, providing an exceptional environment for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying life on the water.
Below deck, the PJ63 reveals an equally impressive interior, featuring a spacious full-beam master stateroom, forward VIP guest cabin, elegant salon, and fully equipped galley.
Contemporary architectural forms blend with warm natural materials, refined finishes, and carefully integrated lighting to create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.
Every detail reflects Palmer Johnson's philosophy that exceptional craftsmanship and luxury should never be compromised by size.
THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF THE OPEN YACHT LIFESTYLE
The PJ63 Open Sport was conceived for owners who desire the prestige, individuality, and craftsmanship of a Palmer Johnson superyacht in a more personal and versatile platform.
Equally suited to exhilarating day cruises, Mediterranean island-hopping, weekends in the Bahamas, or serving as an exclusive chase boat for a larger superyacht, the PJ63 offers a remarkable combination of freedom, elegance, and practicality.
From Miami Beach and the Hamptons to Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Ibiza, and the Balearic Islands, the PJ63 is designed for a sophisticated lifestyle centered around the sea.
Its manageable dimensions, intuitive IPS joystick maneuvering, and owner-friendly operating concept make it an attractive alternative to larger, more crew-intensive yachts.
AN ICONIC DESIGN. AN EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY.

The PJ63 incorporates Palmer Johnson's proprietary tri-hull concept, featuring an exceptionally slender central hull complemented by two carefully engineered lateral sponsons.
This distinctive underwater configuration is designed to reduce hydrodynamic resistance while providing enhanced transverse stability, improved seakeeping characteristics, and exceptional efficiency.
The yacht's generous 6.29-meter (20'8") beam is achieved through this innovative architecture, creating an extraordinarily spacious platform without compromising the refined running characteristics of its slender central hull.
The fine-entry bow is engineered to slice smoothly through the water, while the hull geometry contributes to reduced slamming, a level running attitude, and controlled banking during high-speed turns.
SIGNATURE PALMER JOHNSON DESIGN
The PJ63's sophisticated construction is seamlessly integrated with Palmer Johnson's unmistakable exterior design language.
A powerful sculpted shoulder originates at the distinctive reversed bow and flows continuously toward the stern, culminating in the signature transom blade characteristic of the Palmer Johnson Sport series.

Innovation has always been central to the Palmer Johnson philosophy.
The shipyard has continually explored advanced materials, innovative hull geometries, and sophisticated construction techniques to improve performance, efficiency, and onboard comfort.
Among its most remarkable achievements is the development of advanced carbon-composite superyachts and pioneering tri-hull technology, exemplified by the extraordinary 48-meter KHALILAH.
This innovative engineering philosophy has subsequently influenced the Palmer Johnson Open Sport Series, including the PJ63 Open Sport, where sophisticated carbon-composite construction and advanced hull architecture deliver a distinctive combination of performance, efficiency, and refined cruising comfort.
SUPERYACHT CRAFTSMANSHIP WITHOUT COMPROMISE

This commitment to quality, innovation, and individuality has earned the brand international recognition among discerning yacht owners who value distinction, performance, and exclusivity.
