Palmer Johnson’s 135’ Sport

Already recognized as the benchmark for innovative design, meticulous engineering and superyacht pedigree, Palmer Johnson is more recently acclaimed for their prestigious sport yachts. Palmer Johnson’s impressive history, from championship sailboats to luxurious motor yachts, reveals the dedication and passion behind the PJ product philosophy.
The latest Palmer Johnson’s 135’ Sport Yacht is striking, with crème colored paint, sparkling merlot accents and black mist domes that reflect the pedigree and time proven build quality of one of the world’s premier superyacht brands.
The PJ Sport Yachts are distinctively styled, and are widely recognized as the leading design in the Sport Yacht class. Along with PJ’s 150’ and 170’ models, all take their styling cues from the PJ 120’ to create a family of megayachts of worldwide recognizable identity. Seventeen of these yachts have been built with three to be delivered by the end of 2009.
The PJ 135-04 offers her owner and guests the relaxed elegance and mechanical superiority this line has become famous for. With a top speed of 30 knots, guests in her quiet sound-proofed interior can enjoy a smooth experience in rough seas or at anchor due to her excellent sea keeping abilities and at rest stabilizers.
The 135’s generous outdoor areas are devoted to the elements of the sea, air and sun and as well as arguably the most private upper sundeck in its class where guests can relax in the Jacuzzi and on the large sun pads. Her 16ft Castoldi jet tender is hidden beneath the forward garage with two jet skis while the spacious aft deck conceals a two-seat wave runner.
A serene light interior blends beach house simplicity with sophisticated elements. Light walnut cabinetry, white oak bulkheads with the patina of driftwood, and soft leather accents are punctuated with cabinet doors that feature an elegant pinstripe of aluminum inlay, and fine Rubelli fabrics.
The owner’s suite features a grand king-size bed, twin en-suite bathrooms and a large lounge with dressing area. Four more en-suite double/twin staterooms, with a Pullman berth in each of the twin staterooms, give the yacht accommodation for 12 guests and additional berths for 8 crew.
The well equipped galley, located below and forward of the pilothouse, has stainless steel cabinetry and a stainless steel countertop. Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers lead the appliance list.
With the addition of PJ135-4, Palmer Johnson shows their continued dedication for refining and perfecting the ultimate modern sport yacht.
