Palmer Johnson Rolls Out Largest Yacht Yet

Bob Dohr was on the scene early Friday morning as workers at Palmer Johnson Yachts in Sturgeon Bay transferred the largest yacht they've ever constructed (210 feet) just down the street to Bay Shipbuilding Company to be put in the water.

Thats gorgeous!

60,000 gallons of fuel. Imagine writing a check for a quarter million dollars to fill up your gas tank. Those gas stations must have a pipeline connection because filling this thing up would require 6 large tanker trucks worth of fuel.

[@Kneedragon1962]

That's part of what you're showing off, the ability to sign cheques like that without raising a sweat. And it's all relative. There are much bigger and pricier private yachts than this one.Type 'Azzam yacht' into the youtube search bar.

[@wjbrock8976]

Kneedragon1962 Of course they do get tax write-offs!

[@ManiacMullins]

Kneedragon1962 Ah yes, the Azzam yacht. The biggest yacht in the world owned by the greediest, filthiest person in the world. While his entire country and pretty much that entire part of the world is in poverty and living in mud huts, the jackass owner of azzam is fithly stinking rich. Doesn't his like 3rd son live in a 1700 bedroom palace? We are not paying $4-$5 a gallon to help support there economy, but to help build the UAE's rich rulers "toys" and palaces. If they charged just 2 dollars a gallon they would still be Multi-billionaires... It's ridiculous that the nations of the world allow them to grossly overcharge them for crude oil... Anyway! that's my rant for the month lol. And I am proud to see this beaty was made in the USA!

[@aminman15]

+Shawn Mullins Wow, what ignorance. Have you seen what UAE citizens are granted by their government -- from education, healthcare to wages? Put it this way, the poorest Emaratis are waaaay better of than the poorest Americans. Say what you say about Saudia Arabia, for example, but not UAE. And before you think cities like Dubai generate money from oil, think again; most of the money made in Dubai comes from tourism.

+Jonathan Nellis If you are a billionaire a quater of a million is literally made in minutes. Or if your a new billionaire(worth 1bn) it will arrive in your account if you sit around for like 2 hours.

[@LandscapeMaster33]

ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!

[@krstone0]

I wonder how long it takes to sail out of Sturgeon Bay. Having to go through all of those states and Canada just to get out into open sea.

[@Bellinghamster]

This is an especially beautiful looking yacht. I guess America can still do one or two things right.

[@thomasecosse]

Fantastic!

[@DBCounihan]

PJ is know worldwide for its craftsmanship. This yacht was a boon to the city of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. With Palmer Johnson, Burger Boats and Cruisers, Wisconsin has some of the finest yacht builders in the world.

[@dieseldog00]

+Dale Counihan And maybe the worst government in the United States.

[@LDAVIDNYC]

What city was made this amazing toy?

[@dogetothemoon223]

I have one of these, they're pretty cool.

[@Mr91495osh]

I am amazed that so many people can afford yachts like this.

[@wengelder9256]

There aren’t . That’s also why the went bankrupt. Super yachts are built in Europe mostly

[@blauer2551]

Aren’t they the ones that built the littoral class ships that kept cracking?

[@michaelpomeroy9763]

9,000HP I love it

It's still to small. The wife could still find me in 20 minutes.

[@AakeTraak]

That why you buy two smaller ones...

[@MrSilverfish12]

thats why you divorce.

[@Deke1]

Just dump her overboard out at sea, she won't find you then...

[@buggyman286]

You can dress her up as a mermaid and tie her to the bow.

[@michelrodrigues110]

So sad all Palmer Johnson Yachts are gone.

[@nuruosan4398]

Isn't this 210SportYacht, is this? It's largest yacht in Palmer Johnson's SportYacht Series.

[@bulok69]

Which yacht was this? Is this Bliss?

[@abraxas81]

Maybe it's "LadyM" (Alexei Mordashov's "little yacht", cause he also owns "Nord" superyacht, only 142meters)...seized these days here in Italy (Imperia...near Genova)!!!

[@JeffErdmann]

Love the fact it was built in the USA & has a US Flag!

[@pomfrit3978]

Wolud love to see it in Puerto Banus also with the us flag..

[@MrSilverfish12]

Jeff Erdmann He probably gonna slap a Jamaican flag on it to avoid taxes. They all do that

[@Alaho65]

***** or Cayman island's flag like most to do

[@teenlinktrinidad6789]

+Im a Fox Jamaica doesn't promote or allow tax evasion. You're thinking Cayman.

[@TomHiel]

It’s not American anymore. The company moved to Europe. Americans can’t deliver what Europeans can. Company spokesman said that German and Dutch workers are more skilled in modern technologies like carbon composite materials. The company is located in Holland now and flourishes as never before. This was the last US yacht shipbuilder that closes it doors. Also Trinity Yachts closed it’s doors. America really need some skilled workers that can work with modern materials and technologies. Also Boeing gets hit because of that issue and Tesla schedules a new factories in Germany and China. So, America first? Nope, maybe 20 years ago. It’s running far behind now. The world is evolving and the US is at a standstill because they are blinded by governmental foolishness. When you want to protect your own market, you are actually selling your companies to the rest of the world. It’s a sad story

[@MrSilverfish12]

So sad that Palmer Johnson is closing. The result of higher regulation cost and taxes made if incredibly difficult for them to compete overseas. Wish them the best of luck and may someone else take up the supersport design. Love it

[@lucasschofield8716]

They're closing? but their yachts are fantastic.

[@ryanwatt9222]

Superyacht builders were the backbone of America!

[@johnallen9439]

Actually they're relocating to the Netherlands, like so many other companies when liberals are in charge. Many yachts are not available for purchase here in the US. Because of extreme over regulations imposed by liberal Democrats. @ Brick Actually the US has only one Yacht builder for really big yachts, Christensen. And a lot of smaller outfits like Burger, Sunseeker, Friendship and Trinity. Who make big boats but not near as big. Most U.S. builders build smaller yachts, companies like Sea Ray, Mastercraft, Johnson and Starcraft. The really big yachts, and the best renown come from Europe, Feadship, Oceanco, Heesen, and Amels in the Netherlands, Blohm and Voss, and Lurssen in Germany, Benetti in Italy etc.

[@azschalter]

B.S.! They are closing because of a lack of quality subcontractors and suppliers(because these companies cannot find skilled workers). If a company has to import up to 90% of the parts they need to build a yacht from Europe, it’s a wise decision to move closer to your suppliers. All the big players are located in Europe. So are are the suppliers. Trump won’t change anything about that.

[@cakesofdeath]

Only 5 state rooms! Bit of a bugger if you've got 6 state guests visiting. Just saying.

[@yusufamir859]

palmer johnson is famous for style and sleekness not efficiency and accommodation. for example, a yacht this size would usually have around 4 stories on top of the main deck, this only have 2.

[@abraxas81]

@@yusufamir859 agree...and It can reach almost 30knots!!!

[@malangope]

Ari Latvala Well i guess it depends on how many guests you are planning on taking with you when you travel.

[@DanielPierce]

It only has 5 state rooms, 80 footers I’ve looked at have 5 state rooms, at 200’+ those rooms must be palaces!!

[@abraxas81]

It's a sport yacht...It can reach almost 30knots!!!

[@zackzander4425]

60,000 gallons . . . Al Gore wouldn't approve of that carbon footprint. The cost to fuel it for an outing costs more than my house.

[@Freedo1234]

I will never conserve the environment again seeing these gas starving yacht !

Paying for thousands of gallons of fuel for this monstrosity. Wait till "Peak Oil" arrives!
