AK ROYALTY

AK ROYALTY is a 41.4-metre Palmer Johnson PJ 135 motor yacht, built in 2009 and comprehensively refitted in 2023, registered in the Marshall Islands. Designed inside and out by Nuvolari Lenard, she is built on an aluminium planing hull that sets her apart from most displacement charter yachts in her size range, delivering a top speed of 35 knots and a cruise speed of 24 knots.

This yacht charter option is best matched to guests who prioritise speed and flexibility of movement — the ability to cover significant distances quickly and change itineraries with minimal delay. With berths for 12 guests across 5 cabins and a crew of 7, she offers a more intimate ratio than larger vessels and a sense of informal energy suited to active groups and families comfortable with a sportier onboard atmosphere. Her primary regions include the French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Corsica, Monaco, and the broader Mediterranean, and she is also approved for Dubai and Abu Dhabi, giving her unusual dual-season utility. She is not suited to guests seeking the stability and space of a large displacement vessel, nor to those expecting resort-scale wellness facilities.

The Nuvolari Lenard design gives AK ROYALTY a purposeful, contemporary profile consistent with Palmer Johnson's performance-oriented identity. The 2023 refit represents a meaningful investment in the vessel's condition and brings her systems and interior presentation up to a contemporary standard relative to her build year. The aluminium hull keeps displacement low, contributing directly to her performance envelope.

On deck, AK ROYALTY offers a sun deck, exterior bar, swim platform, inflatable water slide, and a deck jacuzzi. The water toys programme is oriented toward high-adrenaline activity: two jet skis including a Yamaha GP-1800, seabobs, wake boards, water skis, an e-foil, a Zapata flyboard, paddleboards, sea scooters, and a floating pool. The overall character is active and social rather than sedate, with the vessel's speed enabling day trips that slower yachts simply cannot match.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
