Lantic Entertainment Systems, the leader in integrated AV / IT systems for superyachts, is proud to be renewing its relationship with the prestigious US luxury yacht manufacturer, Palmer Johnson. A major client for Lantic in the second half of the last decade, PJ explored other audio-visual options during the economic downturn, but has returned in fine style with an order for a comprehensive system on board the first futuristic-looking 48m SuperSport series yacht.

Lantic Entertainment renews long-standing partnership with Palmer Johnson

The order process began exactly a year ago, with a meeting between Palmer Johnson and Lantic at the 2012 Monaco Yacht Show, followed by a demonstration of the latest software in November at METS. The owner of the new 48m has an existing Palmer Johnson 150 with a Lantic system and, like the PJ executive team, appreciated the technological advances that that Lantic has made over the past five years.

Lantic’s ability to deliver a turnkey solution and meet demanding timescales was also a contributory factor. The Norwegian-built carbon composite hull and superstructure arrived at the PJ facility in Wisconsin in August, and since then work has continued in order to have her completed and delivered in the spring of 2014. The 20+ zone Lantic system is now in build in Denmark with the installation scheduled for this winter.

“We are very proud to be working again with Palmer Johnson, a boat builder that has always been an important part of the Lantic story,” said Lantic’s Joachim Kirk. “The fact that they tried alternative systems before returning to Lantic is a great vote of confidence in the advances that we have made over the past few years. And to be a part of the 48m SuperSport with her innovative design and hi-tech construction makes this all the more exciting. The Lantic style and technological sophistication will perfectly complement this cutting-edge superyacht.”
