2018 Palm Beach PB55 "Sweet Karen" For Sale

2018 Palm Beach Motor Yachts PB55 — SWEET KAREN

SWEET KAREN is a beautifully maintained 2018 Palm Beach PB55 that has been exceptionally well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded by an owner who has continued to invest in the yacht since 2019.

She has been maintained by a full-time crew since September 2019, with regular washing, detailing, preventative maintenance, and scheduled shipyard service. The result is a yacht that shows the benefit of consistent ownership and attention to detail. Complete service records and maintenance logs dating back to 2019 are available.

The yacht has also received an extensive program of upgrades designed to make her a more capable and comfortable cruising platform. Highlights include a Starlink Marine system, upgraded entertainment and connectivity throughout the yacht, a watermaker with dockside treatment system, dedicated scuba air compressor, additional refrigeration in the VIP stateroom, and extensive custom storage throughout. The original bowrider seat was converted to a large forward storage locker, while additional storage was added throughout the staterooms, galley, helm and cockpit.

On deck, the yacht features Awlcraft Palm Beach Cream non-skid, a refinished Midnight Blue hull with Claret Red boot stripe, fiberglass-encased teak toe rail, custom tow cleats, upgraded lighting, a padded forward sun lounge, and all-new exterior canvas. The Sirocco tender is equipped with a Yamaha 9.9 HP outboard and is carried in the dedicated tender garage. A Seakeeper gyro provides additional comfort underway, while the Opacmare Transformer swim platform makes getting in and out of the water easy.

SWEET KAREN is also exceptionally well equipped for extended cruising, with a watermaker, Starlink, scuba compressor, air compressor with Kahlenberg air horns, EPIRB, six-person life raft, and numerous system and safety enhancements. Recent mechanical work includes servicing of the Volvo D11 engines and IPS2 drives by a Volvo-certified dealer in March 2025, along with Seakeeper service and new starting batteries for the engines and generator in 2025. New bottom paint was completed in February 2026.

Inside, the PB55 offers a comfortable three-stateroom, two-head layout with a galley-up design, stand-up helm, and generous storage. The guest accommodations have been thoughtfully modified, including a bunk-bed configuration with substantial drawer storage, while custom cabinetry and storage solutions throughout make excellent use of the yacht's available space.

SWEET KAREN is a PB55 that has clearly benefited from a long-term ownership approach focused on maintenance, preservation, and making the yacht better. She is extensively equipped, thoughtfully upgraded, and ready for her next owner to simply step aboard and go cruising.
