KHALILAH

KHALILAH is a 49.50-metre motor yacht built by Palmer Johnson in 2014 to their 48M SuperSport model, with a refit completed in 2023. She flies the Marshall Islands flag and is constructed in carbon fibre — a material choice that distinguishes her from the majority of steel or GRP vessels in her length category and that Palmer Johnson employed to deliver performance figures unusual for a yacht of her size. She achieves a maximum speed of 25 knots with a cruising pace of 15 knots. Interior design is credited to Palmer Johnson in collaboration with the owner, a bespoke arrangement that produces a vessel with an individual rather than production character.

KHALILAH accommodates 11 guests across five cabins, supported by a crew of nine. Her charter regions are focused on the Western Mediterranean: France, the French Riviera, Monaco, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, and Calvi. This is a deliberately curated operating zone suited to guests seeking efficiency of passage between recognised anchorages and ports. Those looking for Caribbean deployment or large-group accommodation will need to look elsewhere; for those whose preference is the Côte d'Azur and Tyrrhenian coast, her specification aligns well.

The carbon fibre construction of the Palmer Johnson 48M SuperSport is a meaningful differentiator, reducing displacement and enabling the performance envelope that places KHALILAH among the faster charter yachts in her class. The 2023 refit supports confidence in her current mechanical and cosmetic condition. With 495 gross tons on a 49.5-metre platform, she carries her volume efficiently, and the beach club, deck jacuzzi, sun deck, sunpads, and stabilizers both at anchor and underway create a well-rounded amenity profile.

Water activity provision aboard this charter yacht includes two SeaDoo jet-skis, paddleboards, an inflatable sea pool, hobie kayaks, wakeboard, water-ski, kite surfer, towables, foilboard, and full scuba diving equipment with a compressor. The crew of nine is sized to deliver a high standard of personal service across both the leisure and passage functions of the vessel. For a group of up to 11 seeking speed, technical distinction, and Western Mediterranean focus, KHALILAH presents a compelling case.
