Palmer Johnson have successfully launched their largest megayacht to date, the 65m (213ft) Lady M that was built under the project name Stimulus. Her external lines show the signature Palmer Johnson unbroken line from her stern to bow which gives her that bold sporty look. The combination of Palmer Johnson and Dan Lenard from Nuvolari-Lenard design have produced sexy yachts in the past but Lady M has raised the bar even higher.

She will be able to take her 12 guests to their desired locations at a top speed of 28kts. Some of her features include an innovative skylight concept design, an 8.2m swimming pool at the bow and a jacuzzi at the stern. She will remain at the yard for a couple of weeks as some work is finished off, then she will leave and head straight for the Med where a full summer of cruising awaits her.
