The 2008 Palm Beach Motor Yachts 50 Sedan, Louise, is a shining expression of timeless lines, elegant proportions, and unmistakable on‑water presence. Her Awlgrip 2000 Midnight Blue painted hull sets a refined profile both underway and at rest, while her proven pedigree extends far beyond coastal waters—she was delivered across the Pacific from New Zealand to the Gold Coast, Queensland on her own bottom, a true testament to blue‑water capability and confidence‑inspiring performance.

Board via the wide teak‑laid swim platform and enter through the starboard‑side gate into a cockpit designed for effortless entertaining. The expansive L‑shaped transom seating converts easily into a generous daybed for languid afternoons at anchor. A standard Palm Beach cockpit bimini offers excellent protection from the Australian elements, and removable three‑sided cockpit clears transform the space into a well‑sheltered outdoor salon when conditions are less favourable. Practicality is woven into every detail, with a portside wet bar featuring a sink, storage, and an Isotherm ice maker, complemented to starboard by an Isotherm under‑bench fridge and freezer. Beneath the teak sole, a substantial lazarette accessed via four large deck hatches delivers outstanding storage capacity for extended cruising.

The signature saloon bulkhead with centreline door and refined timber detailing opens to a light‑filled, open‑plan interior framed by large windows on all sides, enhancing the warm, inviting ambience that defines Louise. A galley‑down arrangement maximises saloon space, creating generous lounging and dining zones with flexible configurations. To starboard, a foldable dining table pairs with a spacious L‑shaped lounge, while an additional L‑shaped lounge to port encourages convivial gatherings or quiet relaxation. A discreet Hi/Lo TV positioned in front of the port lounge ensures comfortable viewing without compromising the clean aesthetic.

The starboard helm station features a wide bench for the captain and companion, with an ergonomic layout designed for effortless control. A comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite—GPS plotter, sounder, radar, and autopilot—supports confident passagemaking, while overhead hatches, electric side windows to both port and starboard, and twin electric hi/lo aft saloon windows deliver superb sightlines, abundant natural ventilation, and a seamless connection to the seascape. Docking is simplified by Max Power bow and stern thrusters.

Below, the portside galley is thoroughly equipped for extended stays aboard, with an Isotherm under‑bench fridge, Miele microwave, Miele two‑element induction cooktop, Nespresso coffee machine, and a cleverly integrated benchtop rubbish bin. Ample storage keeps provisions neatly stowed, and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawer makes clean‑up effortless after entertaining. Opposite to starboard, the main head showcases signature Palm Beach craftsmanship with teak flooring, a satin teak toilet seat, and a separate tempered glass shower stall.

Forward, the master cabin provides a comfortable and private retreat with an island double berth, generous storage including a mirrored hanging wardrobe and additional cabinetry, and climate control via air conditioning. A Webasto diesel air heater brings cosy warmth throughout the interior in cooler weather, and a large overhead hatch invites fresh air and natural light. For additional guests, the saloon offers flexible sleeping with pullout berths, enhancing overnight versatility.

In the engine room, twin shaft drive Yanmar 6LY3 engines deliver the reliable, efficient performance for which the marque is renowned. A late model Kohler generator supports onboard systems, including air conditioning when away from the dock, while an Aqua‑Matic Sea Recovery 120LPH water maker ensures extended self‑sufficiency. Forward on the bow, anchoring is handled with confidence by a 30kg/66lb stainless steel Claw anchor on a Muir vertical windlass with 10mm chain.

Admired for exceptional seakeeping, impressive fuel efficiency, and handcrafted finishes, the Palm Beach Motor Yachts 50 Sedan is an icon of elegance and capability. Louise embodies these virtues beautifully, blending performance, comfort, and classic styling for discerning owners who appreciate a truly accomplished motor yacht.
