Palmer Johnson Yachts builds custom yachts in the North and South yards in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, with sales offices in various worldwide regions. From its start as a builder of wooden fishing boats in 1918, Palmer Johnson has grown to be a leader in the United States for custom megayacht construction. The yachts feature an emphasis on a quiet, low vibration ride. The first aluminum megayacht in the United States to have both a United Kingdom MCA and Lloyd’s certification came from Palmer Johnson. A Palmer Johnson yacht also set a world speed record in the large motoryacht class. A reference to a Palmer Johnson megayacht is in the Hollywood movie “The Bourne Identity.” The motor yachts made from Palmer Johnson range from an 80-foot sportsfishing yacht to a 195-foot aluminum tri-deck model and above.
