Keal Over, a 2019 Palm Beach GT50, is a performance cruiser sized for the cruising couple. Stay out all weekend, stay out all week. Keal Over has a max speed of 40-plus knots with a range of 350 nautical miles, making it ideal for island hopping or weekend cruises with friends and family. Keal Over’s owners are asking $1.499 million.
“Palm Beach maximizes salon space with a galley-down design. There’s a head with a shower that’s twice the size I’d expect to see on a boat of this nature. The two staterooms are similarly spacious. While many builders would try to add a third stateroom, Palm Beach instead kept the interior areas relatively open. It’s a smart move on a yacht that’s most likely to be used for day cruising and weekending with a couple or two aboard,” Yachting previously reported.
Grand Banks stated that “Keal Over is a 2019 model Palm Beach Motor Yachts GT50 in excellent condition! She has low hour Volvo Penta IPS 800’s at 600 hp each, Garmin electronics, sunroof, opening port window from salon to cockpit, removable sun awning, cockpit wet bar and more.”
Keal Over is powered by twin, 600 hp Volvo Penta IPS800 diesel engines, but reportedly have the performance of 1,600 hp straight-shaft diesel engines due to their pod-drive design. Keal Over will quickly spool up to 42 knots with a comfortable cruise speed of 32 knots, but dial it back to 21 knots to increase range to 350 nautical miles.
Keal Over’s helm is to starboard side with an Italian sports steering wheel, a carbon fiber electronics instrument panel and twin helm seats to port and to starboard. The fully infused carbon fiber hardtop has a sunroof measuring 59 inches wide by 40 inches long. It opens electronically, allowing the ocean breezes to flow through the helm and salon. The yacht’s windscreen and side windows gives the captain a 360-degree view and allows natural light to flow inside. This GT50 has the following electronics and navigation systems:
- Garmin Navigation Package
- 7607 Volvo Penta Display
- Volvo Penta Autopilot
- GSD 24 Fishfinder/Sounder
- GMR Fantom 18″ Dome Radar
- Icom VHF M400 BB
- AIS 600
- Engine Room Camera
- Blue Sea Systems Electrical Control System
The GT50’s cockpit is laid out for entertaining with a pair of L-shaped lounges aft with a folding table, two Smeralda Italian deck chairs and a centerline walk-through to the swim platform. A wet bar with a refrigerator, ice maker, sink and stowage is forward and to port, including dedicated glassware stowage. Guests have the option of sun or shade with a Sunbrella sun shade that extends to cover the cockpit. Grill a few burgers for lunch on the grill to starboard before laying out to catch some rays on the foredeck sun pad.
Inside, the salon has dark wenge-wood accents and cabinetry set in contrast to the light-tone countertops, white headliner and a faux-teak sole. Relax on the L-shaped sofa to port or the starboard side sofa, which has a two-tone, cream-and-silver diamond stitched upholstery. Catch a game on the flat-screen TV while cruising or just relax and enjoy the panoramic views.
Keal Over’s design has a galley-down setup located a few steps from the helm station. Corian countertops provide plenty of space for food prep, and a stainless-steel Samsung microwave/convection oven along with the cockpit grill let owners to serve up big or small meals on extended excursions. Stow cold goods in the AC/DC compatible Isotherm DR160 refrigerator and dry goods and accessories in locking cabinets above and below the countertop.
After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of two staterooms. The master stateroom has a custom island berth with the head and bunk boards finished in UltraLeather. The builder says the stateroom was designed with premium-quality upholstery, satin-finish wood cabinetry, custom carpet with acoustic underlay and LED overhead lights. Owners can stow their belongings in a hanging locker with mirrors, stowage lockers with positive-locking hardware and in under-berth drawers. A Square Lewmar overhead hatch with privacy blind and screen allows a little bit of the ocean breeze to flow through the space. The guest stateroom has a double berth with the headboard finished in UltraLeather. Stowage locker and shelves provide space for guests to stow their personal belongings.
