Palmer Johnson 120

  • By Chris Caswell
  • Updated: October 4, 2007

It would be hard to imagine anyone better as your tour guide to Cover Drive than Dan Lenard, not just because he’s half of the Nuvolari & Lenard design team responsible for this new Palmer Johnson yacht, but because he is so clearly delighted with the finished product.

Lenard, all lanky 6 feet-plus of him, bounds through the yacht with energy, stopping to show off features that might escape the casual observer. “Look at this”, he says, his face lighting up with pleasure, “Isn’t it wonderful?

It is, in fact, all quite wonderful and not just because Lenard’s enthusiasm is infectious. Cover Drive is one of those rare yachts that, without seeming to try, sets new benchmarks.

That said, Cover Drive will not be to everyone’s taste. She is a big 120-foot day boat that was designed from the outset to be used in short bursts: a quick run to a deserted cay for snorkeling or an elegant dinner aboard for a half-dozen guests. One look at the minimalist crew quarters (captain plus three) makes it clear that the crew will only stay aboard temporarily.

In fact, that’s exactly the plan. Cover Drive was built for Tim Mohamed, owner of Palmer Johnson, who will keep the yacht in front of his island home and use it like others might use a day boat one-third this size. She is an express cruiser on steroids.

The third yacht in the Corniche series, which started with the 115-foot Mostro , Cover Drive is the first of the Express Bridge Sport Cruiser versions with the Ray Hunt-designed hull trimmed to accommodate the striking and stiletto-like styling. The yacht represents an interesting shift for Palmer Johnson (see sidebar), because she has a composite superstructure atop the traditional aluminum hull, all built to ABS class and MCA rules. Weighing nearly four tons less than all-alloy construction and combined with a pair of DDC 12V396 diesels putting out a total of 4,500 hp, it’s no surprise that Cover Drive has a 40-knot top speed.

For those more used to conventional cockpits or afterdecks on large yachts, the layered look of Cover Drive was no happenstance. “I wanted this yacht, like a fine European resort, to have a beach at waterlevel, then a terrace, then a restaurant”, Lenard said with an impish grin.

His beach is the swim platform, with a hinged transom that reveals a spacious garage for several jetskis (the tender and crane reside in a concealed gullwing hangar under the foredeck). The terrace is the mid-level, with a centerline sunpad that fairly begs for a covey of bikinied crumpets. And the restaurant is another of Lenard’s surprises.

Rather than placing the dining area in the usual location forward in the saloon, Lenard placed it aft between the twin sliding doors. With a curved banquette facing aft over the round table and four loose chairs, it provides a far better view than the traditional dining area.

Outside, the seemingly small coffee table can spin and expand with leaves to create an alfresco restaurant capable of serving eight guests.

Placing the dining area aft let Lenard devote the remainder of the saloon to a trio of Italian Minotti sofas (covered in elegant Rubella fabrics), which face a pop-up television in the back of the dining banquette. Joinerwork of dark-stained anigre (a West African wood that’s naturally light in color) in a traditional raised panel style and fluted moldings, should have created an ambiance as formal as an Old Boy’s club, but it’s just the opposite.

“I wanted it to be elegant”, said Lenard, “but not needing a coat and tie. This is a T-shirt boat.”

To offset the formal woods, the sole is planked walnut, broken up by area rugs rather than full carpeting, and wide-blade shutters on the windows are more casual than traditional window coverings. The full-service bar forward, with twin refrigerators and marble counters, is clearly intended for serious entertaining. An egg-crate bulkhead provides a visual separation for the pilothouse, while still allowing light into the saloon.

The pilothouse continues the surprises. It has Stidd pedestal seats behind a green leather dashboard, but the steering wheel is on the back of a console between two of the seats. This is sensible, because the throttles and jog stick steering atop the console are easily within reach from either chair.

Elegantly banistered stairs lead from the pilothouse to the lower foyer and the day head on its starboard side. Though not expected to get much use, the master suite spans the full beam and is finished in dark anigre. You enter through an office/dressing area, which has a built-in desk and double closet with beveled mirrors.

Palmer Johnson Returns

“I promised you the first thing we’d do is lay a keel. There it is.” Speaking to the workers at Palmer Johnson as the yard started a new megayacht last February, new president Mike Kelsey Jr. served notice that PJ was definitely on the road back.

It had been a rocky road recently, however, for this 86-year-old builder of megayachts. Founded in 1918 to build fishing boats and named for the owner’s son, Palmer Johnson quickly moved into yacht construction and, by the ’30s, had a reputation for high quality.

Much of the recognition for making PJ a world force in megayachts goes to Mike Kelsey Sr., who joined the company in 1961. Through the ’60s and ’70s, PJ was known for fast ocean racing yachts but, in 1979, the company set a world motoryacht speed record with the 100-foot Fortuna for King Juan Carlos of Spain.

By the ’90s, PJ was firmly entrenched in motoryachts, launching La Baronessa as its largest all-aluminum motoryacht for a private owner. In 2000, Kelsey Sr. retired to a consulting capacity, and a private investor, who had a yacht under construction at the yard, bought the company.

The new ownership ended in Chapter 11 last year and a dispute arose over who owned the Palmer Johnson brand name. In the end, Tim Mohamed (owner of Cover Drive ), fought through arbitration to buy the company, along with PJ’s refit yard in Savannah, Georgia, which he since sold to Global ShipSystems. According to Global, PJ planned to remain a tenant at the complex.

“ Cover Drive is the most significant yacht that Palmer Johnson has built in decades”, said Kelsey Jr. “It marks a departure from conventional motoryachts, as well as into composite construction….”

Mohamed has placed the Palmer Johnson name in a trust and, if the company doesn’t retain at least 100 employees for two years, the employees will own the name.

The future for PJ, said Kelsey Jr. will include aluminum yacht construction in Wisconsin and composite construction in Savannah.

A 50-inch flat-screen television is in the bulkhead of the master, with a powerful Bang & Olufsen sound system that Lenard quickly turns up to a painful level. “Listen to this”, he shouts, herding a guest back into the foyer and closing the door. Even with an ear to the door, the crash sequences of the Bruce Willis adventure movie are barely audible. The total silence is a testament to the sound-deadening package, which includes everything from floating bulkheads to rubber seals on all the doors.

Also surprising are the twin VIP staterooms, each identical with angled beds for more floor space, and en suite heads with showers. A fourth cabin has twin berths, two Pullman beds, and a smaller head.

Galley? Oh, yes, it’s tucked away below the saloon, reached via stairs from the dining area. Although well equipped, it underlines the limited plans for cooking aboard (no stuffed turkeys here), though dual washer/dryers should handle the beach towel inventory.

A final delight aboard Cover Drive is the flying bridge, which, in keeping with everything else aboard this yacht, is quite unusual. This isn’t the usual “seats-20-barbecue flying bridge” found on most 120-footers. Instead, it is extremely personal and private, to the point where the stairs leading from the afterdeck are almost invisible.

Once atop the cabin, you’ll find just two seats, albeit extremely comfortable leather bucket seats that seem to have been snicked from a Ferrari. There is no windscreen, and the dashboard seems to levitate above the teak decking. The wind rushing up the deck toward your face brings to mind a vintage sports car.

“I admit it!” he says without guilt, “ Cover Drive -and this bridge-were inspired by the Aston Martin Vanquish, where hard muscle blends into soft lines. A pair of sunpad/settees is tucked aft under the rakish electronics arch, which sports a pair of winglets evocative of those on business jets. Asked about the flying bridge, which is invisible from the beam ends of Cover Drive , Lenard says, “I wanted this yacht to be as much fun as possible on a serious megayacht platform.

For anyone who is curious about yacht names, a Cover Drive is one of the most graceful, but also most difficult, strokes in the game of cricket. For Mohamed, formerly a professional cricket player, the name is a natural.

It was also a perfect name for a yacht that is so graceful and so powerful, yet so hard to achieve. While not for everyone, there will be many like me who will fall hopelessly in love with Cover Drive .

PALMER JOHNSON Yachts – Operating Since 1918

Palmer Johnson is one of the iconic yacht builders to emerge from the Americas. The company is located in the Great Lakes region in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

The company constructs high-end performance yachts up to 81.4m, with showrooms in Fort Lauderdale and Monaco.

Once highly regarded, they built famous vessels, such as the Fortuna for the King of Spain, and the Turmoil, an explorer vessel that sailed the globe three times.

PALMER yachts history

In 1918, Hans Johnson and Herman Gmack founded Palmer Johnson under the original name Sturgeon Bay Boat Works.

The boatyard specialized in repairing rowing boats and commercial fishing vessels in the 1920s.

In 1928, they launched their first wooden yacht and became known for building high-end wooden sailing yachts. Hans’ son, Palmer Johnson, takes over the company in the same year.

As with many companies with a 100-year history, Palmer Johnson went through hard times and prosperous times.

The WWII period was a particularly good time for business for Palmer Johnson as they built over forty 45-foot air-sea rescue boats and four “T” class freighters.

In 1956, the shipbuilding company was sold and renamed after the founder’s son, Palmer Johnson.

Throughout the 1960s and into the next four decades, Palmer Johnson was at the forefront of innovative yacht construction using aluminum. 

The company delivered FIREBIRD just a few short years after this shift to aluminum yacht construction. FIREBIRD was the world’s largest aluminum sailing yacht at the time of her launch, a 25.6m ketch.

FORTUNA soon surpassed this record in 1979. FORTUNA was King Juan Carlos of Spain’s 30.5m yacht.

FORTUNA held the title of the fastest yacht globally for over a decade as she could reach the incredible top speed of 46 knots, which was unheard of at the time.

Celebrating its 80th anniversary, Palmer Johnson launched LA BARONESSA, a 59.5m all-aluminum yacht, the largest in the USA, in 1998.

In 2003, Timur Mohamed bought the stagnant Palmer Johnson Yachts after purchasing his 120-foot yacht, the Cover Drive, from the shipbuilders.

The English businessman purchased it as the company had experienced several unproductive years.

In 2004, the company burst back onto the shipbuilding scene when it introduced its popular SportYacht series under its new owner’s direction.

The series featured exterior and interior designs from Nuvolari Lenard, the major yacht design company renowned worldwide.

In 2012, Palmer Johnson introduced the new carbon-fiber SuperSport performance. The SuperSport was a new carbon fiber performance model.

Unfortunately, this series was launched in a different economic climate and didn’t reach the success of their SportYacht series. 

Notable launches

Palmer Johnson has several other notable launches besides its most iconic launches like the FORTUNA and LA BARONESSA.

In 2007, the 41.5m PJ 135 SportYacht Dragon was launched. The superyacht rose to international acclaim with a maximum speed of 30 knots. 

Although Palmer Johnson struggled to keep traction in the yacht market after 2012, an ongoing project in partnership with Bugatti is a point of interest for yacht fans.

A contract for thirty of the new PJ 48 Niniette and PJ 63 Niniette Open Sport series yachts has been signed, which amounts to EUR 40M for the yacht building company.

Palmer Johnson has a rich history in yacht building, with over 100 years of innovative yacht building that will hopefully continue with the new Niniette model.

This super yacht is equipped with a PMC alarm and monitoring system providing continuous supervision of approximately 100 critical machinery functions, continuous level indication for 20 tanks, and an eleven zone fire alarm system with over 45 smoke and heat detectors throughout the vessel. Remote alarm repeaters are located in the Captain's stateroom, Engineer's stateroom, and crew lounge. The alarm and monitoring system consists of five Type 8001 Alarm Annunciators, six Type 8101 Alarm Repeaters and five Type 8110 Tank Level Monitors.  The use of two wire multidrop communication significantly minimizes shipboard wiring between annunciators and repeaters.  PMC's Type 8012 Navigation Light Control Panel was fitted in the wheelhouse to provide continuous supervision of the vessel's twelve navigation lights. Two Type 8201 Pushbutton Propulsion Order Telegraphs are installed to provide emergency communication between the wheelhouse and control room in case of remote control failure.

The record breaking La Baronessa is the largest privately owned vessel of any kind built in the United States since the 1930's, and the largest aluminum hull yacht in the world.

Coat of arms

  Gatchina is the largest city within the Leningrad Region and is famous for being home to a former imperial residence, which is now a museum. The UNESCO-protected Gatchina Palace is more reminiscent of a castle than the traditional decorative Russian palaces. As such it became the favourite residence of Emperor Alexander III who thought Gatchina safer for his family during a time of unrest. Gatchina can be easily visited as a day trip from St Petersburg .
