Our Thoughts

The 2006 Palmer Johnson 123 Motor Yacht "INVICTUS" represents a pinnacle example of the Palmer Johnson raised pilothouse motor yacht platform—one of only three vessels in this exclusive series. Designed by the legendary Nuvolari Lenard and built with Palmer Johnson's signature quality, this 123-foot fiberglass displacement cruiser combines timeless elegance with comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic modernization, making it an exceptionally well-maintained offshore cruising platform.

Propulsion & Performance

Power comes from dual MTU 12V4000 main engines rated at 2,735 horsepower each, operating at 1,900 RPM for efficient long-range cruising. The main engines received a complete top-end rebuild by FDDA in 2019 and run just 1,300 hours since that service. The vessel cruises comfortably at 14 knots and achieves a maximum speed of 24 knots when required. Two Northern Lights 65-kilowatt generators provide redundant electrical power, rebuilt in 2021 with 2,100 hours of operation since overhaul. The propulsion package is complemented by a Quantum proportional sidemaster bow thruster with 75 horsepower and an 18-inch hydraulic configuration, enabling precise maneuvering in confined spaces.

Fuel & Water Capacity

With a 7,599-gallon fuel capacity and 500-gallon freshwater tank, the INVICTUS delivers genuine transatlantic range and extended cruising autonomy. Dual Sea Recovery Aqua Whisper water makers, each producing 1,600 gallons per day with new pumps installed in 2020, ensure unlimited freshwater production underway. The fuel system includes dual Separ 2000 filter systems and large day-tank pre-filters for clean, reliable engine operation.

Navigation & Electronics

The pilothouse features a comprehensive modern electronics suite installed and upgraded through 2022. Primary navigation relies on Garmin displays—a 17-inch LED display paired with Garmin black box AIS, Garmin depth sounder, and a 64-mile Garmin radar. Backup radar from Furuno provides redundancy. A new Sperry Marine Navipilot 4000 Plus series autopilot was installed in 2022 and works seamlessly with the Quantum ARC 3000 stabilizer control system. The helm is outfitted with dual Stidd chairs with leather trim, chrome pedestals, and footrests, along with a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Navigation aids include a Richie compass, Furuno PG500 electronic compass, Navionics electronic charts, and an Airmar weather station mounted on the forward mast as of 2021. Dual Icom M602 VHF marine radios ensure reliable communication. The pilothouse also incorporates a Jastram rudder angle indicator and steering wheel indicator, plus a four-camera security monitoring system installed in 2021.

Exterior & Structural Condition

The hull received fresh paint in 2017 and topsides paint in 2021, with the high-gloss finish maintained through professional application of polymer coating twice annually since 2017. New teak decks were installed in 2017, including teak additions to the flybridge. The running gear received comprehensive service in July 2021, including replacement of port and starboard main strut bearings, stern tube cutlass bearings, and new anti-fouling paint. All zinc anodes were replaced,

2006 Palmer Johnson 123 Motor Yacht "Invictus" – Timeless Design Meets Continuous Mechanical Excellence
Overview
The 2006 Palmer Johnson 123 Motor Yacht " Invictus " represents a distinctive chapter in modern superyacht design, created by the renowned Italian design studio Nuvolari Lenard and built to Palmer Johnson's exacting standards of fiberglass construction and interior craftsmanship. At 123 feet in length with a 24-foot beam, this raised pilothouse motor yacht combines classic elegance with contemporary mechanical systems that have been systematically rebuilt and upgraded through 2024. One of only three vessels in this particular series, "Invictus" stands apart as the sole model powered by a pair of MTU 12V-4000 engines rated at 2,735 horsepower each, delivering a cruising speed of 14 knots and a maximum speed of 24 knots. The vessel's ownership history reflects a commitment to continuous improvement. Major mechanical systems have been rebuilt or overhauled in recent years—main engines topped by FDDA in 2019, generators rebuilt in 2021, and comprehensive air conditioning, electrical, and hydraulic systems refreshed throughout 2018–2024. Hull and topside paint work in 2017 and 2021 has been maintained by professional polymer coating applications twice yearly since 2017, preserving a high-gloss finish. An extensive interior soft goods refit was completed in 2024, including new salon furnishings, carpeting, bedding, and dining appointments. This combination of design heritage and mechanical diligence positions "Invictus" as a fully operational, well-maintained motor yacht ready for extended cruising and entertaining.
Layout and Deck Design
The Palmer Johnson 123 is organized across three primary accommodation levels plus a generous flybridge , creating distinct spaces for owner, guests, and crew while maintaining the openness expected in a contemporary motor yacht. Main Deck and Aft Deck The aft deck serves as the primary entertainment platform, featuring an inlaid teak oval dining table that seats ten, surrounded by five teak deck chairs and complete protective covers. A full-service bar with Carrara Crema marble top and copper sink anchors the forward-port area, lined with four polished chrome barstools. A Perlick ice maker and Perlick refrigerator support beverage service, while a 65-inch Samsung Smart TV and recessed speakers extend the space's functionality into evening hours. Dual staircases descend to an opening swim platform with a Sanguineti Passarelle boarding ladder and stainless steel air-actuated sliding door providing seamless access to the main salon. Two Maxwell 4000 deck winches and starboard-side storage lockers with watertight doors support both operational needs and stowage. The main salon flows forward from the aft deck as a full-beam, naturally lit space finished in preferred matte mahogany wood paneling and American walnut flooring. An L-shaped couch with throw pillows, casual seating, and a teak cocktail table create a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. A Crestron audio-visual system with 55-inch Samsung LED television, surround sound, DIRECTV satellite service, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast integration supports entertainment. Lutron programmable LED lighting throughout provides multiple ambiance settings, while Roman blinds and silhouette shades ensure privacy. The dining room opens forward from the salon with seating for eight at a high-gloss inlaid table, accompanied by a day head finished in Portoro and Thassos marbles. Galley Forward to port, the galley and serving pantry are equipped to support full-service operations. A Wolf induction cooktop (replaced 2021) and two Wolf steam ovens (installed 2020) anchor the cooking area, supported by two Subzero refrigerator-freezer drawers, one full-height Subzero refrigerator, and one full-height Subzero freezer. A Miele professional dishwasher, microwave, dual stainless steel sinks with garbage disposal, and Crema marble countertops complete the preparation space. The pantry galley opens directly to the main deck dining room, facilitating service flow. Master Stateroom The master stateroom occupies the forward main deck with a king-size bed featuring storage beneath and an upholstered headboard. Two Onyx-topped nightstands flank the bed, each with pullout drawers and lower storage. A desk and vanity to starboard and a small table with chair to port provide work and dressing areas. His and hers cedar-lined walk-in closets and a centerline master shower with dual heads maximize the forward cabin's utility. An entertainment center with media storage, 50-inch Samsung Smart TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Blu-ray and DVD capability, and speakers support relaxation. Lutron LED lighting controls and electric shades ensure comfort, while all mirrors were replaced in 2022. Marble-topped vanities and Calacatta Vagli Oro marble flooring establish a spa-like finish. Lower Deck Accommodations The lower companionway features American walnut flooring with marble inlay and a large breakfast bar with marble top and hand-crafted teak-inlaid cabinetry. A Samsung oversized washer and dryer are integrated into the lower deck, supporting extended cruising operations. Two matching guest staterooms forward to port and starboard each feature a queen-size pedestal bed with four storage drawers, marble-topped nightstands, upholstered headboards, and ensuite heads with Tecma fixtures and marble finishes. Cedar-lined wardrobes, wall sconces, and Samsung Smart TVs with sound systems complete each cabin. Cascading air conditioning ensures comfort, while Calacatta marble flooring with espresso inlay and LED lighting create a cohesive aesthetic. A full-width VIP cabin aft in the accommodation area offers a queen bed, marble bathroom aft to starboard, and a walk-in cedar-lined wardrobe to port. Dual dressers, a full entertainment center with 40-inch LED television, DIRECTV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and Denon amplification support relaxation. A large Stahl shower, Tecma head, and wood cabinetry with marble flooring complete the VIP experience. Crew Area Access through the galley pantry leads to a dedicated crew area with a mess, galley, laundry center, and comfortable seating with a 40-inch television and sound bar. The captain's cabin features a lower berth with storage, cedar-lined closet, and Corian-finished head. The engineer's cabin includes an outboard berth with storage and private head. Two additional bunk rooms provide four berths total, each with cedar-lined closets and private heads with showers. This configuration supports a crew of six, or seven with a couple, and includes a Subzero refrigerator, separate freezer, two refrigerated drawers, and microwave oven for crew meal preparation.
Helm and Electronics
Pilothouse The pilothouse represents the operational heart of "Invictus," featuring a centerline helm with hooded cherry wood dash housing all primary controls and instrumentation. Two Stidd helm chairs with leather trim, chrome pedestals, and footrests provide ergonomic seating, while a wood-rimmed steering wheel and raised settee with table create a command environment suited to extended passages. A chart table and navigation station adjacent to a Trend Marine sliding watertight companionway door facilitate passage to the flybridge. Navigation electronics installed in 2022 include a 17-inch Garmin LED display, two Cyber Research LED displays, and a Garmin black box AIS system. Dual Icom M602 VHF marine radios, a Garmin 64-mile radar, and a Furuno radar provide redundant communication and navigation capability. A Garmin depth sounder and depth meter support anchoring and shallow-water operations. The Richie compass and Furuno PG500 electronic compass ensure directional reference, while a Quantum ARC 3000 stabilizer control system interfaces with the vessel's fin stabilization. A Kallenberg air horn system, Quantum proportional sidemaster bow thruster control, and Airmar Weather Station mounted to the forward mast (added 2021) complete the navigation suite. Four camera security monitoring (installed 2021) and AM/FM stereo head control round out pilothouse amenities. Flybridge Helm The flybridge helm station mirrors pilothouse functionality with two Stidd helm chairs, a Jastram rudder angle indicator and steering wheel indicator, and single-lever engine
