New yacht launched in Sturgeon Bay

The 150-foot vessel from Palmer Johnson Yachts is made from carbon composite material.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Great to see PJ pushing the boundaries on design!

[@Bellinghamster]

Palmer Johnson Yachts has continually been leap frogging the Mediterranean super yacht builders in recent years. Its good to see something truly special coming from the US. We can actually do anything we want. The hole we find ourselves in is as much mental as it is economic. Socialism and Communism isn't the way to go. We just need to start dreaming again.

[@rickbar123]

Fuck you. Capitalism is dead. This is the body flapping around like a dying fish.

[@Bellinghamster]

Apparently civility is dead as well...... At least in some people.

[@thijsspijk7695]

engine room and systems is dutch, hull is norwegian and the design is Italian...

[@jetara3082]

Oh yeah...USA... U S A. It's just a boat for some rich blokes who throw their money out of the window, no need to start USA propaganda shit here.

[@andrewminott7225]

I don't believe they've leap-frogged anything. Compare this little tub (150') to the real gold master from Sunreef (the 210' Power Trimaran). Then come back with a real comment.

[@tekknorat]

No weapons and torpedoes? Fuck it, money wasted. Apart form the joke, the money is wasted anyways.

[@shayneoneill1506]

+Jailhouse Bradley I dunno, if I was ridiculously rich I'd be buying one of these bad boys. And the money goes into the local economy so everyone wins.

[@tekknorat]

Shayne O'Neill I'd donate to those who cant earn that much, but... I guess it's not considered cool. Better float around in an expensive sardine can :D

[@云梦-g7c]

+Jailhouse Bradley you not in China,ha ha.

[@tekknorat]

***** I must admit, have no clue what are you talking about.

[@tekknorat]

***** good thing that you're the smart one. wow, dude, if it's so, what are you doing here? shouldn't you be out there, doing your smart shit?

[@russpeaknuckel9525]

I was a carpenter at Palmer. They have closed and moved over seas.

[@goofyleo3869]

I was a fitter/welder on 2nd under 'Fox'. I hope Mohammed drowns. 😁

[@4SHO421]

The Romulans called. They want their Warbird back.

[@damianfugate]

funniest shit ever

[@jamalbarria7062]

4SHO421 I

[@razorbackblood06]

Best comment. The ship definitely looks like it was inspired by a Romulan design. I'd buy it, but I would prefer something more like a Vulcan design.

[@captainawasome8985]

Warp speed mr Zulu the klingons are approaching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTKfoh4js1gZtk

[@ArthurR]

SO MODERN...!!!

[@CopterPilot801]

BEAUTIFUL! Sleek...nice lines. Innovative design, state of the art. FAR better than the same ol' usual bathtub hull looking yachts out there.

[@rallycorsa1600]

Just because you can....That doesn't always mean you should!!!

[@neilmaccannell637]

judging by the bow shape a good forward wave would rip it apart what are all the odd contours for? reminds me of an 88 lambo countache

[@robertallen6710]

..odd countours look like they were grabbing at straws for a superstructure design..

[@MBC022]

unique, modern, and sexy, stop the hate, this thing looks killer

[@isakjohansson7134]

Probably the best yacht i've seen

[@carmelpule6954]

If a hull is light , it is not always an advantage in a wavy sea. For long distance comfort there is nothing like a ballasted boat which rides the waves slowly as it becomes somewhat tiring in a hull like a light catamaran which undulates so quiclkly, same with a light planing hull , be this sailed or powered. A rolling action of about 4 seconds is the least to aim for.

[@unapro3]

For those whinging about it's speed, Google "displacement hull" and "speed". You will find for a given hull, there is a point where getting bigger HP will make bugger all difference to speed. These hulls are not designed for speed, they are designed to handle oceans.

[@caycug1]

I wouldn't trade my kayak for this beast.

[@johnm6693]

lol repaint it

[@gladheateher4now]

Thats got to be 100 million.

[@dieseldog00]

Did PJ actually sell that monstrosity??? I Iove that 210'er they built but this thing is only fit to be sunk as an artificial reef.

[@tuffsing313]

the hull was made in norway.

[@user-vt4hd8hb4v]

Damn gotta get one of this!!!

[@andyvh1959]

Too bad Palmer Johnson no longer exists. All operations at Palmer Johnson closed permanently just last year.

[@natekid4]

how crazy is it that an aircraft carrier can go much faster

[@stevelawrence5404]

this yacht was in Halifax NS today. Pretty cool ship

[@user-sn5kj1gy1t]

people dont have a taste in the comments , that looks sick! the colors just amazing

[@TopTributeBands-N-Stuff]

I hauled all of the NY 40s to PJ in the late 1970s for custom interiors and then over to Rowayton Conn to drop off for the NYYC. Then I dead headed to Fla to pick up an Endeavor or Gulf Star to take back to NO LA where we built the NY 40s. Been there, done that too. Worked in OJ Young's boat yard in NO LA for several years starting doing bottom jobs for a year or so and then working up to driving our 18 Wheeler, wide, high, long and just totally over sized in every way possible. PJ can't be responsible for what a customer orders and pays for (ugly slow or whatever).

[@dannydaw59]

I thought the boat was for the sequel to "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

[@GTLees]

This is exactly what came to mind as I watched. Wild lookin' vessel.

[@anthonyperkins5856]

that is one tight ship, love it.

[@mattjubie]

Looks like a nice fishing boat

[@likbronangperahufiberglass]

Futuristic design...wow

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

Nothing but haters here... moving on.

[@davidmambrose4210]

fuck you dickhead

[@bittasweetsymphony726]

this, this is resources well spent, yay organisation skills of the human race.

[@roflcopterkklol]

32 knots thats it? The Baltimore class cruiser from ww2 which was 673ft long with a weight of 17,000 tones had a top speed of 32.5 knots.

[@unapro3]

+roflcopterkklol 120,000 hp for the Baltimore cruiser, with 4 steam turbines....the new yacht is powered by 2 x 4600hp engines, Apples and Oranges mate. These are full displacement boats, you have to throw mega HP for every knot. The military don't give a rats about economy.

[@roflcopterkklol]

unapro3 Im just saying... if they were going for speed they failed.

[@unapro3]

roflcopterkklol if I was on-board, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get off.....

[@Waneta90]

+roflcopterkklol when you are on a yacht you dunt rush.

[@roflcopterkklol]

nils einar Sundberg Yeah but it kinda seems like they were going for speed with that yacht, im just saying the thing looks like it should do at least 50 knots on level water.

[@bozenajencek]

gorgeous

[@londonspade5896]

How will it get from the US to Europe? I think it must have a range of about 1000 miles? Interesting

[@maxjohnson1758]

You will litterally be able to fry eggs on all that black surface area in a tropical environment. While the color scheme looks cool, depending on your taste, there is a reason radomes and surface areas are not painted black.

[@allowmi]

The designer was wearing at least two gold chains and sporting a fauxhawk. 'Nuf said.

[@patnovalive6865]

Rest in peace Mr Kelsey 🙏🏾

[@arthurkelsey6031]

Patnovalive Thank you

[@Jackle61]

More contracts and more workers? Then a year later they shut down the entire operation and closed the doors. Hmm.

[@richardrose9943]

ingalls did the same thing after we built the ddg 1000

[@danielporubsky1000]

We had this at my work for bottom paint and some fiberglass work.

[@yachtdude1]

Beautiful yachts...

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

to bad Palmer Johnson moved to Europe. They do build fantastic ships

[@goofyleo3869]

They DID fantastic ships. I imagine Timmur Mohammed (the owner of PJ) has a life expectancy of about 1/2 an hour should he ever visit Sturgeon Bay again.

[@tedsgrkcyp]

A 1/2 hour is a lot time! If we from Palmer Johnson gets wind of him visiting, there would be a regular old burning at the stake party! 🤣🤣🤣

[@8eSix]

I watched this being built all year. This was a huge project for Palmer Johnson. Many things were delayed, a lot of people dropped out early. There were nights where the boat just sat there and people didn't know if it was going to get finished. All in all, it turned out pretty slick. Rumor had it some Russian woman purchased it, but who knows. I'm glad to see it's finally out there bringing some recognition to the area. I don't think the building really did that much for the local economy. Many people were contracted out and stayed at the hotels and drank at the bars, etc. But so what? Anyways, cool boat.

[@goofyleo3869]

They didn't know what to do because they didn't write the coding for the automation system, and that system didn't work. That POS was a colossal fuck-up.

[@kprell35]

cool looking Yachts

[@martinigasolini4062]

Looks like a giant gold toilet.

[@upchuck619]

The woman being interviewed said 'all the openings on the inside allow direct contact' ..... umm that's why you buy a superyacht!! lmao

[@kclm7]

I was in Sturgeon Bay last fall and I remember seeing this yacht when I crossed one of the bridges over the channel. It was parked by the ship company. I remember thinking WTF!

[@goofyleo3869]

It was moored at GLY's as you crossed the blue, Michigan Street bridge. If you were headed north, it would have been on your right.

[@LVL1Yo-YoGuy]

wonder if Palmer Johnson do a mini version of this for small lakes?

[@BimaOrizaSafitra]

looks like my yatch for sure. they both are very similar.

[@michaelblackbird8058]

Looks like it could outrun some pirate ships.

[@rekless1875]

The construction of this vessel would of been great to be involved in.

[@Meuseraner]

Da ist ja meine Yacht!!!

[@robbynelson3]

This thing is docked in Fort Lauderdale as of 2 weeks ago. I hear its still for sale... Someone else said Usher bought it? Anyone know?

[@BerkerIzmir35TR]

How much is it?

[@wensis2006]

I'm late..but men this looks good.

[@trollboss4584]

Beautiful ship.

[@goldboyjr]

Ughh...loved it till I saw the back. IT better have a retractable patio!

[@hapiestar7164]

According to the comments, I'm a middle-aged 'not-so-legal' banker or businessman with no taste if I like/want one of these. I like the color, I think it looks bad-ass. Side note, anyone notice the real news in the 'scrolling bar' while Fox does a piece about an expensive yacht. Kind-of sums up main-stream media.

[@brittneybeasse1136]

I would love to spend a week on board :) Little piece of heaven...

[@smoothuncut]

Vin Diesel Will have a ball with that toy!

[@tertiuspool6715]

it is brand new but the paint is bubbeling up and there is mold all over the inside!! saw it a few weeks back in LMC fort lauderdale!! be wise who ever buy this boat

[@huntelaar1012]

Its beautiful! What a beast!

[@samcorlsamuel9074]

i saw this yacht at David u loyd state park, it looks like a cool toy.

[@kuze83]

looks awesome !

[@Johnnyjokester]

The yacht looks badass. Should have been a metal blue color instead!

[@jrregan]

Nothing like the color puke on my 20 million dollar yacht.

[@fp2231]

looks more like baby diherrea

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

You puke gold?

[@tokahontas9990]

looks gold to me bud

[@zach7161]

it looks like you're jealous

[@CSOCSO]

i have seen the boat in person. the video has a shit color. its the same gold as my car. looks freaking awesome

[@fowloutdoors9790]

Beautiful

[@zukilover2]

so that's what makes big news in the U.S.

[@RobinsM]

+zukilover2 Its not this is a local new station. They are talking how this is good for the area, they even had someone break down how it does help the local economy.

[@meekeedutsa]

very nice! one day I will own one two

[@joshs3916]

Beautiful Boat.

[@Lehmann108]

What a hideous looking boat!

[@mackenziemfull]

:35 lol at the dude just fishing like "i don't give a fuck about your yacht"

[@MrSilverfish12]

I can't believe this yacht goes 32 knots while the AZZAM(Biggest yacht in the world) goes 34 knots. Damn that's crazy

[@digfire1]

longer boats actually go faster because of fluid dynamics

[@carmelpule6954]

Hermann TheGerman True about the length, but as they say, give a brick enough power and it will fly!

[@DaddyTheTechnition]

Carmel Pule' But they should also know that if you were to use same amount of power to push a boat the boat would travel much further as the hull design is more efficient then the shape of the brick.

[@robertpapps3618]

Lots of money doesn't always equate to good taste but maybe the idea is just to be noticed.

[@nilobeebee]

The design looks like it goes 60 knots but it only goes 32.

[@doceigen]

I want three of these... not all the same, because that would be insane!... no! One in blue, one in a bronze taupe and orange!

[@_saver_]

Is it realy your Design Mr. March? But your copy is not bad.

[@christinedietterich6306]

looks like something for the army

[@2finger-Carmine]

Lol... the last reporter wanted to say something but they cut the transmission just before she spoke

[@darleneworthy5412]

YESSS BAY LOVE THE NAME...IM GOING TO CALL HER BAYBAY

[@paulmchone]

So that's how the 1% live!

[@salmaanahad1256]

Less than 1% lol

[@norbertkasko1438]

Probably the 0.1 percent in America.

[@adriansmith6247]

If really like that boat in a deep blue

[@FreakyScaryChannel]

Purchased by a Dirty Banker...

[@WOLFMAN305]

Jealous much?

[@fritzr.4722]

true story

[@swemsonspeaks]

With a tiny weiner....

[@MrSilverfish12]

I can appreciate Bill gates and Warren Buffet but private bankers just piss me off. If you control the printing presses you can literally print 300mil to buy a yacht.

[@AmerikanGrizzly]

***** That is the federal reserve, its not a private bank. Wtf are you talking about. Private banks (investment or commercial) do not have that ability and make money by either investing (investment bank) or issuing loans (commercial).

[@FNHaole]

The supercar profile says 50 knots. 32 deserves the lines of the S.S. Minnow.

[@mickee7863]

Gilligans island?

[@n40tom]

just a little note to Titanic had a top speed of 28 miles an hour

[@mickee7863]

But it was built in Ireland...

[@n40tom]

+Dort gamin who gives a fuck . it is still ugly as a Dort. whatever the fuck that is.

[@inthenameofgamingstudios191]

Star Wars called, they want their spaceship back.

[@romanogalluzzo5951]

that looks like a race car

[@jamespostle6894]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ohsangwoo9951]

that is a Palmer Johnson

[@ohsangwoo9951]

+miles. no

[@3DPeter]

it's a cool design that is waaaaay different than conventional old school yachts.

[@chrisle360bludgeon]

ikr !)

[@ebitlagger8840]

James Postle Lambo build a yacht

[@corymccarty6496]

seen in person when I was up there fishing there was a rumor that the owner was part of the Russia mafia

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

This Yacht, with all its speedy looks can only go 2 knots faster than a Nimitz class aircraft carrier.

[@HalcyonVoid]

To be fair. proportionally, the carrier power plant and population system is massive. compared.

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

GlintTheStrong Population system? Did you mean propulsion? To be fair. Google the Yacht: The world is not enough. 70 KNOTS. Alamshar: 70 Knots. Foners: 68 knots. GALEOCERDO: 60 KNOTS Gentry Eagle: 64 Knots. Why Knot: 55 knots... COMPARED. So... I'm going to say it again: This Yacht, with all its speedy looks can only go 2 knots faster than a Nimitz class aircraft carrier.

[@HalcyonVoid]

Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch Yes, that is what I meant. Never said it was fast. The weight of the ship was taken off the hull, but that doesn't mean the weight isn't moved elsewhere. There are faster ships, sure, no argument there.

[@G8GTJav]

Well, they did call it a "super sport" and said it was built for speed. Looks like all-show, no-go to me.

[@pedroabarzua8480]

VERY GOOD DESIGN LIKE A MAC LAREN OR F-35 RAPTOR........CONGRATULATION PALMER JHONSON.....

[@GUSDURNGOK]

cant wait to hv this

[@rogeranderson8763]

Beautiful.....and while the rich enjoy their fine toys, thousands of people are sleeping rough on our streets and under our bridges. We can ignore that....and just wait for the next demonstration of national dissatisfaction....or do something about it. I'm 75, experience indicates which it is likely to be. -Veteran '66-68

[@fred6319]

we need more austerty because of the crisis

[@BillWa]

Suppose they cried recession but nobody played. Spend money and keep the economy going. Defy Obama's misguided and dangerous policy!

[@watchulukingat]

Could have made it 100' longer for that much money with conventional materials. Plus a longer boat would easily hit 30 knots.

[@tylerdurden639]

I would prefer a solar powered yacht. At some point I will have one.

[@markschembri3142]

nice

[@Amazingcharters]

It certainly is more special than pretty.

[@thatguyfor2adefendtheconst732]

good paying jobs that's what's important here.

[@asknotwhatucan9951]

You can thank President Trump for this boost in confidence.

[@chrisle360bludgeon]

That is the most beautiful yacht in the world.

[@davidmambrose4210]

you have no fucking class or taste

[@gsb1616]

Duhhhhhhhhhhh I just got a .57 cent raise today. How much is that down payment?

[@Countryboy2206]

That's badass
