The Palm Beach International Boat Show may be behind us, but the momentum at HMY Yacht Sales is just getting started.
A huge thank you to our entire team—brokers, support staff, the service team, marketing, and operations—who came together to deliver another successful show. And of course, a well-deserved shoutout to the show’s MVP, our Director of Events, for keeping the entire operation running seamlessly throughout the show. It truly takes an army to execute an event of this caliber, and the effort showed.
While overall attendance may have felt lighter this year, the right buyers showed up. With nearly 1,700 customer tickets distributed, our team did an outstanding job driving serious prospects to the docks, and it paid off.

Viking Yachts Announces New Model
There was an exciting announcement at this year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show from Viking Yachts, who unveiled the second-generation Viking 70 Convertible. This next evolution of one of Viking’s most popular models introduces a completely redesigned platform, featuring improved hull efficiency, enhanced ride quality, and a refined layout built from direct feedback from owners and captains. Offered in multiple configurations—including Open Bridge, Enclosed Bridge, and Sky Bridge—the new 70 delivers increased cockpit space, a four-stateroom layout, and performance capabilities expected to reach into the low 40-knot range. The announcement gave buyers and tournament anglers an exciting preview of what’s next in this highly competitive size range, further reinforcing Viking’s leadership in the sportfishing market.
The Princess F58 – First Time At The Palm Beach Show
A major highlight for HMY was the Palm Beach Show debut of the Princess F58, marking the first time this highly anticipated model has been showcased at the event. The F58 drew significant attention throughout the show, with its refined design, exceptional performance, and thoughtful layout resonating strongly with attendees. Its presence reinforced the continued demand for next-generation luxury motor yachts within the Princess lineup. And even better news? HMY sold it. Congratulations to the proud new owners!
