Description

PIPE DREAM features a two-stateroom, two-head layout with the open, light-filled interior Palm Beach Motor Yachts are known for. Satin-finished teak cabinetry, teak soles, custom sisal carpeting and Ultraleather upholstery carry throughout the interior.

Boarding from the teak swim platform, the cockpit offers an L-shaped Ultraleather settee that converts to a sun lounge, along with a removable sun awning supported by carbon-fiber poles. The space is equipped with an Isotherm refrigerator and freezer, stainless-steel icemaker, electric BBQ, custom drink and glassware storage, and upgraded teak surrounds on the cockpit cabinetry and refrigeration.

The aft galley is a standout feature of the PB50 layout. A large aft window opens the galley directly to the cockpit, connecting the interior and exterior entertaining spaces. The galley is equipped with a Kenyon two-burner induction cooktop, Samsung microwave, Isotherm refrigerator, stainless-steel sink, water purification system and a custom liquor and spirits drawer added in 2026.

Moving forward, the salon offers an L-shaped Ultraleather settee to port with additional seating to starboard. A custom ottoman, satin-finished teak cabinetry and generous storage complete the space. Entertainment includes a Fusion Apollo stereo and 40" OLED television on an electric lift, upgraded in 2026.

Below, the master stateroom features a tapered island berth with storage beneath, vanity with Ultraleather seat, hanging locker, satin-finished teak cabinetry, custom sisal carpeting with acoustic underlay and a 32" Samsung Smart HDTV. An overhead hatch provides additional natural light and ventilation. The master is complemented by a private ensuite head.

The guest accommodations provide a large settee that converts to a double berth, along with teak hanging lockers, shelving, reading lights and additional storage. A separate guest/day head features a dedicated shower with glass partition and frameless door, teak sole, satin-finished teak cabinetry and Tecma head.

From the helm to the accommodations, PIPE DREAM combines the performance and efficiency expected from Palm Beach with a comfortable and highly functional cruising layout. Her aft galley, two-stateroom, two-head arrangement and generous storage make her equally suited to weekends aboard or extended cruising — a capability already proven by PIPE DREAM’s completion of the Great Loop.
