46m Palmer Johnson motor yacht Norma Jean returns to market

31 October 2026 • Written by Nick Jeffery

The 45.7-metre Palmer Johnson motor yacht Norma Jean has returned to the brokerage market, now listed for sale with Michael Selter of IYC.

Built in aluminium by the US yard to a sporty design by Nuvolari Lenard and delivered in 2009 as one of the yard’s PJ150 sport yachts, Norma Jean underwent extensive refits and maintenance between 2003 and 2026, including new paintwork, a new hot tub and projector on the sundeck, updated interiors by Patrick Knowles and substantial technical upgrades.

She is described by her broker as "instantly recognisable" on the water, thanks to her signature red waterline.

Norma Jean is asking €13,750,000

A favoured space on board is the main saloon, with a custom-carved chessboard, card table, seating area and bar, flanked by two large opening sea balconies that add width and bring the natural beauty of the outdoors into the interior.

Aft, guests can dine al fresco at a large formal table or relax close to the water on a dedicated sunbathing area with sofas and sunpads.

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in five cabins plus quarters for eight crew. A full-beam master suite is located forward on the main deck and includes a lobby with a walk-in wardrobe, a king-sized bed with a study area to starboard and a seating area to port.

On the lower deck, guest accommodation includes a VIP cabin with a saloon area. This area can be isolated and turned into a separate cabin with its own en-suite bathroom. Two further double cabins can be turned into twin cabins at the push of a button and all staterooms have en-suite facilities.

The yacht for sale is designed for guests to enjoy life outdoors. With a panoramic view, the flybridge boasts a Jacuzzi, sun loungers, a dining area and a large seating area in the shade with a pop-up flat-screen television.

Powered by twin 3,650hp MTU diesel engines, she has a cruising speed of 22 knots, topping out at 27 knots, and is fitted with Naiad zero-speed stabilisers.

Lying in Fort Lauderdale, Norma Jean is asking $13,750,000.
