2016 Palm Beach Motor Yachts PB50

Bella Luna is the last 50 Palm Beach built at the Australia facility before moving production to Malaysia.

Comparing the 50's from each facility you notice the Australian boats have full satin finished Burmese teak interiors (including bulkheads) and more saloon/galley cabinetry.

This is Google AI's opinion:

There is a benefit to owning a Palm Beach 50 motor yacht built in Australia due to the brand's history, but the quality is now high in both locations. The Australian-built models benefit from the brand's original, handcrafted heritage and a factory that enables all stages of construction in one facility, using modern technology and premium materials. However, the Malaysia facility also produces high-quality yachts by integrating the Australian team's training and culture into its operations, so the quality difference is minimal and both locations produce excellent boats.
