Who DB9 suits

Thirty knots, a 1.6 meter draft and a metallic grey hull: DB9 is a Palmer Johnson 170 sport yacht, and nothing about her is conventional. She cruises at 22 knots, so St Tropez to Corsica is a morning run, and she can anchor in water that would stop yachts half her 52.1 meter length. She was built in aluminum in 2010 and refitted in 2025.

On deck there is an eight meter pool on the foredeck, an infinity jacuzzi aft, a second jacuzzi on the flybridge and an open air cinema on the sundeck. She takes 12 guests with 11 crew, and can entertain 80 at an event. The toys include jet skis, a waverunner, kayak, wakeboard and water skis for adults and children. West Mediterranean rates are $301,000 per week in summer 2026 and up to $329,000 in 2027.
