Palm Beach Motor Yachts are well known for their vacuum-infused E-Glass hulls, which are reinforced with carbon fiber in structural areas, cored with Corecell and Airex foam and vinylester resins, with decks and superstructures of carbon fiber to keep the weight down. The 2024 Palm Beach GT50 known as Drops of Jupiter has a Speed Blue Metallic custom hull color, among many upgrades. It’s located in Stuart, Florida, and offered by Grand Banks Yacht Sales for $2.175 million.
Aside from the legendary Palm Beach construction techniques and beautifully appointed satin-finished teak interiors, Drops of Jupiter also has just 400 hours on its twin Volvo IPS800 engines as of September 2025. The Volvo Extended Warranty is effective through April 2029 or 2,000 hours, whichever milestone occurs first. The vessel also has Volvo’s Dynamic Positioning System and a Sleipner Side-Power bow thruster.
The layout has the galley down and to port, with the en suite master stateroom fully forward and the VIP stateroom aft.
At the helm are the following electronics:
- Garmin 8617 Radar/Plotter
- Volvo 9-inch Display w/Sonar function
- Volvo Autopilot
- Garmin GMR Fantom 18X Dome Radar
- Garmin VHF 315
- AIS 800
- Engine Room Camera
