DB9

172’ · 12 Guests · 5 Staterooms · 30 Knots Top Speed

Overview

A Palmer Johnson sport yacht unlike any other… DB9 combines the performance of a thoroughbred with the amenity depth of a full superyacht, all wrapped in a metallic grey exterior that turns heads from Monaco to Portofino.

Built in 2010 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, DB9 is one of the most feature-rich charter yachts available in the Western Mediterranean. At 172 feet and powered by twin MTU 16V4000 engines producing over 9,000 combined horsepower, she cruises at 20 knots. She reaches a top speed of 28 knots—putting the entire coastline of the French Riviera, Italian Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and beyond within easy reach.

What sets DB9 apart in the charter market is the breadth of its amenities. An 8m foredeck pool, two Jacuzzis, an open-air sundeck cinema, an infinity aft Jacuzzi, a crew of 11, and one of the most comprehensive water toy packages on the charter market—DB9 is engineered to ensure no request goes unfulfilled.

DB9 is not simply a charter yacht. She is a full resort experience capable of 28 knots—an open-water sports car with a swimming pool, two Jacuzzis, an outdoor cinema, and an 11-person crew waiting to take you anywhere the Mediterranean allows.

Outdoor Living

Three Levels of Outdoor Entertainment

DB9’s outdoor spaces are a masterclass in al fresco living at sea. The foredeck features a remarkable 8m swimming pool—an extraordinary amenity at this length that transforms the bow into a private beach club. The aft deck hosts an infinity Jacuzzi with panoramic views astern, while the flybridge adds a second Jacuzzi surrounded by stylish white lounge seating and oversized parasols.

The sundeck is where DB9 truly distinguishes herself: an open-air cinema transforms evenings at anchor into a private screening experience under the stars. Generous sun pads, a full bar arrangement, and the crew’s seamless service complete a deck that rivals any land-based resort terrace in the South of France.

Interior

Contemporary Interiors Built for Modern Entertaining

Step inside DB9 and the atmosphere is immediate — sleek, contemporary, and unmistakably Palmer Johnson. The main salon is arranged for effortless entertaining, flowing naturally into formal dining for 12 guests, while a full bar anchors the social core of the main deck. The layout allows multiple seating areas to be enjoyed simultaneously without ever feeling crowded.

Supporting it all is a galley positioned to keep an 11-person crew operating seamlessly at full charter pace — whether guests are dining formally below or al fresco on the aft deck.

Main Salon

Light, Spacious, Social

The main salon’s contemporary design pairs clean upholstery with high-gloss surfaces and abundant natural light from large windows port and starboard. Updated audio-visual systems and a full bar ensure the space works as seamlessly for a cocktail hour as for a quiet evening in.

Accommodations

Five Staterooms for Twelve Guests

DB9 accommodates 12 guests across five elegantly appointed staterooms. The full-beam owner’s stateroom is a sanctuary of space and light, furnished to the standard of a five-star hotel suite with a private en-suite bath. Two VIP queen staterooms offer privacy and comfort ideal for couples, while two twin staterooms cater to families or additional guests—each with its own en-suite bathroom.

The 2025 refit brought the entire accommodation package to current standards, ensuring that every cabin reflects the same level of finish and attention to detail as the yacht’s public spaces.
