Johnson Yachts is excited to announce the launch of their newest model, the Johnson 70, which will be showcased at 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show.

Johnson Yachts has been in the business for over 37 years now and has established itself as a manufacturer of yachts that provide superior interior volume. The Johnson 70 is no exception to this and with its 18-foot 3-inch beam, it offers the option of three or four staterooms, making it the perfect choice for yacht buyers who value ample living space.

The Johnson 70 is a yacht designed by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design. Its exterior design offers a superyacht experience in a manageable length overall (LOA). The yacht's styling and use of space are advanced, setting it apart from other production boats.

Interiors for Hull No. 1 will showcase a concept created by Design Unlimited, and provide a mix of textures in fabrics and materials that provide a stylish and comfortable environment that encourages relaxation in shared areas and accommodation spaces.

"With the design and engineering of the Johnson 70 - together with Design Unlimited and Bill Dixon - we have a yacht designed to be versatile," said Peter Chang, general manager of Johnson Yachts. "We want to create a new line of yachts that sets the trend rather than follows it."

Stay tuned for additional news from Johnson Yachts as the build of the first Johnson 70 progresses and new models are developed.
