2019 PALM BEACH Palm Beach 55 Sedan Compare

Built by Palm Beach in 2019, INDEPENDENCE is a 16.76-metre motor yacht that combines practical Downeast-inspired design with the comfort and capability expected of a modern cruising vessel. She represents a thoughtful balance of seaworthiness, ease of handling and onboard livability for owners who value both performance and relaxation.

The yacht's three-stateroom layout is well-proportioned and functional. The forward owner's suite features an ensuite head, while two additional cabins—one with twin berths and one with over-under berths—provide flexible guest accommodation. The salon is bright and airy, with expansive opening windows, a well-equipped galley, comfortable seating and an L-shaped dinette that flows naturally into the teak-decked cockpit. The outdoor space accommodates 6–8 guests and is ideal for entertaining or casual dining at anchor.

Operationally, INDEPENDENCE is straightforward and reassuring to command. Twin 725-hp Volvo Penta D11 IPS engines with joystick control, dynamic positioning and autopilot, combined with a Side-Power bow thruster and twin Quick gyro stabilizers, make her exceptionally manageable in confined spaces and in variable conditions. The 740-gallon fuel capacity supports extended coastal cruising, while the included Williams MiniJet 280 tender with dedicated garage extends exploration and recreation options. Recent updates—new 2026 AGM service batteries, freshly sanded teak, recently refinished exterior varnish and a new 2026 aft-deck bimini—reflect thoughtful maintenance and a professionally managed ownership. With approximately 620 hours on the engines as of August 2026 and lightly use, INDEPENDENCE presents as a well-cared-for vessel ready for her next chapter.
