DB9 Superyacht
About DB9
Originally launched in 2010 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, the 171ft (52m) DB9 by Palmer Johnson combines proven naval architecture with contemporary interiors and updated systems. Her 5 staterooms – 1 King, 2 Queen, 2 Pullman and 4 Single – sleep 12 guests in comfort, while day charters accommodate 12. A seasoned crew of 11 ensures smooth operations and attentive service.
Refined Comfort
The 2025 refit brought DB9 up to current standards, and it shows in every detail. Stabilizers keep the yacht rock-steady at anchor and underway at 20 knots, making her a particularly good choice for guests who value calm conditions aboard. The Infinity Jacuzzi aft, additional Jacuzzi on sundeck, a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, a beach club, and an entertainment system, and thoughtfully designed social spaces give the yacht a resort-quality feel while retaining the intimacy of a private vessel. Updated finishes throughout the interior provide a welcoming retreat after each day’s adventures.
Toys & Tenders
With 12 water toys stowed aboard, DB9 turns every anchorage into an activity hub. The lineup includes a jet ski, a Seabob, an e-foil, SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, and towable inflatables, while the 21ft Castoldi tender provides quick access to hidden beaches and reef snorkeling spots. All equipment is maintained and set up by the crew – guests simply step in and go.
Your Voyage in Mediterranean
DB9 charters throughout Italy, France, Malta and Monaco in the Mediterranean, repositioning seasonally to offer the best cruising conditions at any time of year. The recommended charter months are Jul, Aug, when sea conditions and destination access are optimal. A refitted yacht like DB9 brings peace of mind alongside luxury – updated safety systems, modern navigation, and a hull proven across thousands of sea miles. Each itinerary is tailored to the group’s interests.
