“Jay Gatsby would have loved the Palm Beach 55, because it embodies all that he lusted after in The Great Gatsby: class, style and grand luxury,” Yachting previously wrote.” In fact, I’m convinced that he would have forgotten all about Daisy Buchanan after one look at this boat.”
For owners interested in a low-hour Downeast Cruiser, Grand Banks Marine Group has Cool Beans, a 2021 Palm Beach PB55 with just 600 hours on the engines, listed just shy of $3 million.
“This is a special opportunity to own an extremely popular model that is lightly used and meticulously maintained,” Grand Banks Marine Group says.
Construction onboard Cool Beans includes bulkheads and fixed furniture structurally bonded to the hull and deck for strength and rigidity, and a hull and superstructure built using the latest technology in composite boat construction.
“Built using Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ proprietary V-Warp Technology, this impressive Palm Beach PB55 features a revolutionary design and construction process derived from Mark Richards’ experience as an ocean-racing champion and shipwright,” the builder says. “This technology incorporates a warped, semi-displacement hull form and extensive use of carbon fiber, setting a new industry standard for power-to-weight ratio. This results in class-leading speed, performance and unrivaled fuel economy in these luxury motor yachts.”
Guests will find a warm and inviting atmosphere in the salon where satin-finished Burmese teak joinery and cabinetry harmonize with the natural light flooding the space. Custom European Adarra Sisal carpet with acoustic underlay will have guests walking on clouds. Lounge seating inside includes two facing sofas to starboard and an L-shaped dinette to port. Cool Beans has a main deck galley amidships to port, adjacent to the helm station. The galley is equipped with a range of meal-prep amenities, including:
- Kenyon induction cooktop
- Miele speed oven
- Isotherm fridge/freezer drawers
- Solid Silestone “Pulsar” countertop
- Fisher Paykel dishwasher
If owner’s and their guests are weekend cruising Cool Beans has a three-stateroom, two-head layout belowdecks. The master on this PB55 is forward, in the bow, featuring a centerline berth and an en suite head. The VIP stateroom is to starboard with a double berth while the final guest cabin has over-under single berths to port.
While Cool Beans has no flybridge, exterior entertainment spaces onboard shouldn’t be overlooked. The dancefloor-sized cockpit, which is shaded by the awning above, has transom bench seating aft and a fixed dining table. Blink and you might miss the built-in bench seat in the bowrider position on the foredeck, making it a great spot to enjoy Sundowners at sunset.
Power onboard this PB55 is provided by twin 900 hp Volvo IPS 1200s, each with the Volvo extended warranty in effect until 23 June 2025.It’s worth noting Cool Beans is offered with an exclusive factory-supplied 12-month certified structural warranty.
