The sleek profile and aggressive stance of the instantly recognizable PJ Sportyacht series is even more emphazied on the PJ 170 yacht PJ-501, because of the increased length of this model. The 170 also enjoys technical advancements which include dual Gyro stabilizers which negate external fins under the waterline, a first in a large Sportyacht .
The company Palmer Johnson is also building two 210’ Sportyachts for delivery next year along with a 135’ and the 82M PJ World yachts.
