DB9 (52m/172’) is an iconic Palmer Johnson 170, combining unmistakable Nuvolari Lenard design with exhilarating performance and exceptional outdoor living. 

DB9 is defined by her low-profile lines, metallic finish, and powerful proportions. Built in aluminum in 2010 and comprehensively refitted in 2026, she pairs performance with outstanding spaces for life on the water. With a maximum speed of 31 knots and a shallow draft, she brings added freedom when exploring secluded bays and anchorages.

Outdoor living is central to DB9’s design. The main deck aft brings together open-air dining and generous lounge areas, with steps leading down to an aft hot tub and swim platform at the water’s edge. Forward, the foredeck is dominated by an exceptional 8-metre swimming pool, surrounded by sunbathing space and uninterrupted views ahead. Above, the sundeck provides another private retreat with a second hot tub, sun beds and shaded lounge space. An open-air cinema completes an impressive setup for entertainment from day into night.

Inside, Nuvolari Lenard created a warm contemporary interior where large windows draw natural light into the main salon and dining area. Rich woods are balanced by polished detailing, while statement lighting and a dedicated bar add character to the main deck entertaining spaces.

DB9 accommodates 12 guests in 5 well-appointed staterooms. The Owner’s Stateroom, located on the main deck, benefits from generous lounge and dressing areas and a marble ensuite. Two VIP staterooms and 2 twin staterooms complete the guest accommodation.

More than €5 million was invested in a comprehensive refit at Monaco Marine and Shipyard Portosole Sanremo over the last 3 years. Presented following this significant program of works, she combines the pedigree and performance of the Palmer Johnson 170 series with substantial recent investment.
