Alexander Marine Australia's global yacht acquisitions & superyachts division are pleased to present the 2019 Palm Beach Motor Yachts 55 Sedan 'Independence'.
The 2019 Palm Beach 55 Sedan 'Independence' is a standout example of a design celebrated for its timeless down-east lines, elegant proportions and unmistakable on-water presence. Her unique galley-up, three-cabin accommodation layout adds to the appeal for yacht owners requiring more accommodation. Finished with a deep navy hull colour and varnished teak capping rails, she presents a truly refined profile underway and at rest. One owner from new and having cruised only around 620 hours, 'Independence' has been maintained to an exacting standard and is presented in superb condition.
Stepping aboard, the aft deck is the natural heart of the vessel, thoughtfully configured for entertaining. A centreline settee and table sit beneath the bimini, a wet bar to port keeps refreshments close at hand, and teak underfoot runs out to the swim platform beyond. Twin sliding transom doors open the cockpit through to the saloon, creating a single, connected living space close enough to the water that the sea is always part of the company.
A single sill leads into the main saloon, where 'Independence' shows the defining feature of the Sedan layout, a single-level main deck. Wide opening windows draw an abundance of natural light inside and hold an unbroken sightline from the galley aft through to the helm forward, so the cook is never shut away from the company. The joinery carries the understated warmth that is a Palm Beach hallmark, timber and light rather than gloss and glass, while a television rises on a lift when it is wanted and disappears when it is not.
The helm station, positioned forward, is set cleanly ahead of the wheel and equipped with twin 18" Garmin displays, radar, AIS and Volvo autopilot. Docking is made effortless by the Volvo IPS joystick and Dynamic Positioning System (DPS), while the whole arrangement makes plain that this is a yacht designed to be run by her owners. The galley shares the same main-deck level as the living space, a configuration unique to the Sedan that keeps owners and guests together and maximises the sense of space on board.
Below, three cabins sleep six to eight. The owner's stateroom features a centreline berth with a private ensuite, while port and starboard guest cabins share a well-appointed day head, each finished with the same care as the master. On deck, a foredeck sun pad offers a quieter retreat forward, away from the entertaining spaces aft.
Beneath her, 'Independence' is powered by twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS diesels delivering 725 horsepower apiece for a 26-knot cruise and 30 knots at the top, while twin Quick Gyro X16 stabilisers hold her level at anchor and underway alike. A Side-Power bow thruster, Zipwake trim interceptors and a MagnaSine inverter drawing on the new 2026 AGM house bank round out a systems package that has been methodically upgraded rather than left to age, supported by a Fischer Panda generator. A dedicated garage with a deck lift stows the 10-foot Williams jet tender cleanly out of sight.
The Palm Beach 55 Sedan is widely admired for its exceptional seakeeping, effortless handling and handcrafted finishes. 'Independence' embodies these qualities beautifully, offering a refined blend of performance, comfort and classic styling for the discerning owner seeking a truly capable and elegant motor yacht that a couple can genuinely run themselves.
