The Palmer Johnson Release:

Palmer Johnson launches PJ150-7  Yacht “Vantage”
American yacht builder Palmer Johnson launched their latest 150-foot luxury yacht called “Vantage”. Vantage represents the seventh yacht in the PJ150 sport series to be launched. She can trace her roots to the highly successful PJ120 sport series which progressed to a larger platform featuring similar styling.

Vantage features a rich light cream hull and deep anthracite accents on the superstructure. On the inside, the interior is eclectic in nature involving a mixture of quality and prized materials. The colour theme is deep in contrast to each other much like the paint scheme. Deep and dark dyes are used in contrast to light and washed materials.

Vantage retains similar statistics like her sisters and features twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 Marine Diesels fed by 40,000 LT capacity fuel tanks. Her construction is welded aluminum with some composite accent pieces. The accommodation is split between guest and crew. “Mastersuite has a private study, his- and-hers bathrooms and a walk-in dressing area. There are two double cabins with ensuite bathroom and two cabins, each with two single beds and one Pullman. The 150 can accommodate twelve guests and eight crew members.”

Upon completion, Vantage will head to the Summer Med cruising grounds. As she joins the ever growing fleet of PJ sport yachts, their presence worldwide will be felt.
