One of the most striking superyachts sailing the Seven Seas has just gone up for sale. Khalilah and her luxe gold exterior have been turning heads since 2015 and now the showstopper could now be yours for a cool $31 million.

But it’s more than shine and dynamic lines that render this vessel worthy of eight figures; Khalilah is a straight-up history maker. The 160-foot cruiser was the first all-carbon superyacht ever built.

The handiwork of Palmer Johnson , the yacht’s carbon composite construction and revolutionary wave-penetrating hull means she can cruise at high speeds—26 knots being the top—with optimal fuel consumption. Moreover, there’s no need for zero speed stabilizers thanks to her 35-foot beam.

Onboard, Khalilah can accommodate up to 11 gilded guests within five well-appointed staterooms. The suitably opulent master suites are situated on the main deck and feature full-length windows that afford panoramic vistas. Elsewhere on this level is a generously sized living space and salon featuring a contemporary LED light installation, an ultra-modern galley, an alfresco dining area—complete with a bespoke cactus wood dining table—and vast aft deck.

Set on the upper deck is the hip skylounge. Perfect for after-hours socializing, the space is equipped with a high-tech entertainment system, overhead lights and comfortable lounges where you can while away the evening. Just ahead of the skylounge, you’ll find a sheltered terrace with a sunken spa pool to accommodate a late-night dip.

To top it all off, Khalilah comes packed with a matching 20-foot tender—dripping in gold, of course—as well as an array of water toys, including a jet pack, hoverboard, wakeboard, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables.

Exclusively for sale with SuperYachtsMonaco , the superyacht has an asking price of roughly $31 million (€28.5 million). If the festive season has you watching your shekels, you can also charter the superyacht.

KHALILAH Yacht – The Incredible $30,000,000 Superyacht

Measuring a length of 48 meters KHALILAH yacht was built by the US shipyard Palmer Johnson in 2015 and is currently available for charter.

She has space for eleven guests in five cabins and is easily recognizable due to her golden finish.

KHALILAH yacht interior

All design stages, including the interior of the KHALILAH yacht, were completed by Palmer Johnson Yachts.

There are five cabins on board that can accommodate up to eleven guests. The KHALILAH yacht has twin master suites, one VIP cabin, and one double cabin, as well as a twin and an additional Pullman berth.

Nine crew members find space in cabins below deck. The KHALILAH yacht is often described as a family-friendly yacht with a lot of features that are adjusted to children including her unusual interior design. 

In addition to her wide selection of water toys, families will appreciate the cabin layout and the onboard jacuzzi.

The beach club is perfect for a quick swim before a delicious dinner prepared by the five-star chef on board KHALILAH.

The yacht has impressive underwater lighting, wifi, and an upscale entertainment system. The interior of the KHALILAH yacht was designed to be tasteful and contemporary.

The style is somewhat eccentric in places, with colorful patterns and unusual features like a squid-shaped lamp in the main salon.

This is yet another aspect in which KHALILAH is an excellent yacht for families and not a conventional charter vessel.

Palmer Johnson gave her a unique interior to set KHALILAH apart from other superyachts and to match her already prominent exterior.

The furnishings of the yacht also have a distinct south-east Asian influence, with several buddha statues spread throughout the vessel.

Several cabins have intricate wood carvings decorating the walls, and there are traditional decorations and murals to be found onboard the luxury yacht.

Most notably, one of the bathrooms is entirely decorated with a colorful mosaic depicting cartoon-like sea animals, which is sure to be popular among children spending time aboard the KHALILAH yacht.

Other bathrooms are more minimalistic with white marble finishes and discreet mosaics of trees and other natural scenes.

Specifications

The KHALILA yacht is 48 meters (157.6 ft) long with an 11-meter (36.1 ft) beam and a 2.1-meter (6.11 ft) draft.

She is considered the world’s first all-carbon superyacht and is especially environmentally friendly with reduced emissions and exceptional fuel efficiency.

Both her hull and superstructure are built out of carbon, making her a lightweight vessel at only 485 tons.

She is powered by twin MTU engines which allow her to reach impressive speeds of up to 30 knots.

She comfortably cruises at 28 knots, making her one of the faster yachts in her size category.

Due to her highly efficient engines, she still has a range of 1,500 nautical miles and is the perfect yacht for visiting destinations in shallow waters due to her low draft.

The KHALILAH yacht is one of the most striking superyachts in the world and is guaranteed to draw attention wherever she goes with her pearlescent gold finish.

She is accompanied by a matching 6.8-meter (22 ft) gold tender, and her aerodynamic design gives her a sleek and elegant appearance.

On the aft, the yacht has a spacious swimming platform and storage area for water toys with an adjacent seating area with a beach club.

With her many floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks, KHALILAH perfectly merges indoor and outdoor living and provides guests with many choices for relaxing and enjoying the views.

One of her more unusual features is the custom extendable staircase that can be used to board guests and extend onto the water if requested as an unconventional seating area.

The exterior of the KHALILAH yacht was designed by Palmer Johnson Yachts , which is also the shipyard where the vessel was constructed. As a charter yacht, Khalilah has a fantastic selection of water toys on board to entertain her guests. There are jet skis, water skis, kayaks, paddleboards, and inflatables, all stored aft of the vessel.

The adjacent deck is exceptionally large and measures over 110 square feet giving guests plenty of space for sunbathing or exercising. 

The KHALILAH yacht has an estimated price of US $30 million. She generates annual running costs of approximately US $1 to $3 million.

Khalilah is available for charter at a weekly price of US $225,000 per week during both the winter and summer seasons. She is based in the Mediterranean and is primarily available for charter there. Khalilah is also available for sale at a listing price of US $28,5 million, although it is unclear whether a buyer has already been found.

Spotlight On  Khalilah

By Rebecca Bradbury | 11th Jun 2019

Bold, dynamic looks and a dazzling golden finish ensure the 49m/159ft superyacht KHALILAH never fails to stand out. But it’s not just distinctive aesthetics that sets this Palmer Johnson charter yacht apart from the crowd.

When KHALILAH first hit the water in 2014, she was the first model in the US yard’s SuperSport series as well as, more significantly, the world’s first ever all-carbon superyacht.

In most circumstances, this would have been enough of a unique selling point. However, designed ‘to shake up the yachting world’, superyacht KHALILAH features many more innovations, from a top-class performance to a no-compromise approach to onboard space and comfort.

Berkeley March, who was a new name in yacht design at the time, is behind the sleek and sporty profile. It combines a long foredeck with superstructure so swept-back it merges seamlessly with the hull. There is then the dramatic wave-penetrating bow which, together with her lightweight composite construction, enables the yacht to reach an impressive top speed of 30 knots.

Also impossible to ignore is the ‘Cordova Gold’ paint job, offset spectacularly by the jet black radar arch, not to mention the scores of other crisp white superyachts KHALILAH shares her cruising grounds with.

KHALILAH has much more to offer than a predatory profile and stellar performance and this is proved throughout the interior. Designed by the in-house team at Palmer Johnson , the guest living areas embody a playfulness rarely seen on superyachts alongside luxurious, Asian-inspired elements.

Guests will get their first taste of what’s in store when entering a foyer area in the main salon via the aft deck. Underneath a psychedelic swirl of LED lights inset in the ceiling sits a gold statue of a meditating Buddha.

Imparting an enduring aura of tranquillity, the Buddha is joined to port by a bar made from Karelian birch, a rare Finnish wood known for its distinctive markings and almost luminous glow, while wide beams of stained-oak flooring run forward underfoot. Enjoy a drink at the bar or head forward into the main salon.

Despite a giant purple octopus adorning the main salon’s ceiling, the floor-to-ceiling windows framing the space undoubtedly demand the most attention.

Specially made by New Zealand glass specialist Glasshape, each panel measures nearly seven metres in length and, with no mullions, guests are treated to uninterrupted views.     

Panoramas can be enjoyed while relaxing in the seating area made up of a low-lying sofa and mismatched armchairs. When not looking out at sea, a widescreen TV can provide entertainment, with a glass-topped coffee table supported by a tangle of branches adding a quirky touch.

The Karelian birch of the bar reappears in the wall panels alongside dark wooden inlays and, against this gentle backdrop, the vibrant, multi-coloured hues of the scatter cushions stand out. Then, as night falls, LED lights fitted into the cantilevered ceiling cast a soothing glow.   

A dining area in a yacht’s main salon is usually a given, but KHALILAH is not one to adhere to conventions. By leaving out a place to dine, space is available forward of the salon for a galley, a layout which departs from the standard arrangement of Palmer Johnson’s SuperSport range.

What’s more, the galley itself is distinctive. Contemporary in design, it features lacquered orange cabinets with smooth marble counters, a refreshing change from the stainless steel-clad kitchens typically found on board other superyachts in the global charter fleet.

A door to port can also open up the galley to the main salon, enabling charterers to come and go as they please. A breakfast bar provides a perch to watch the chef at work or to grab a snack, and this adds to the laidback atmosphere running throughout the entire motor yacht . 

Another deviation from the norm is apparent on the main deck forward. The area here is often reserved for just one master suite but, on KHALILAH, there are two.

Birch wall panels and oak floors are used again to create a calm and balanced base against which Asian-style details are added and long vertical portholes keep up the connection with the outdoors.

The suite to port features an orange and gold colour palette with an etched mural of a tiger above the bed. Forward, there is a spacious dressing room area with ample storage and this leads into an en-suite with his and hers sinks, a head and a large shower.

Slightly smaller in size, the starboard-side suite is more feminine in feel thanks to splashes of millennial pink on the walls and furniture and humming bird motifs painted onto the cupboard doors. A hot pink cabinet under the sink then enlivens a lightly-grained white marble en-suite.

By two master suites taking up this prime position, the superyacht is well-suited to hosting groups of friends as, when it comes to securing the most coveted cabin, neither couple will have to compromise.

The accommodation continues to excel on the lower deck. Each stateroom embodies its own individual décor while maintaining the modern, ultra-luxe vibes of the deck above.      

Stretching across the aft-most section, the full-beam VIP suite seduces guests with its sculpted carpet, which feels incredibly plush underfoot. The only source of colour comes from an ochre-hued chaise lounge, standing out perfectly against the other neutral furnishings and rich wooden accents.

It’s by far the most sensuous cabin on board, and bordering the en-suite is a monochrome mosaic replicating the undulating form of waves.

The double cabin, meanwhile, is memorable for its purple and pink colour scheme. A resin artwork depicting a cherry blossom tree in bloom hangs above the bed while a silver and lilac mosaic in the shower also calls to mind Japan in the spring.

There is no doubt children will love the twin cabin, with its lime green wall panels, cornflower blue cupboard doors and multi-coloured pom pom rug. But the biggest draw awaits in the en-suite; the entire room is covered in a colourful mosaic depicting an underwater scene with cartoon sea creatures.

Adding to KHALILAH’s line-up of guest living areas is an inviting skylounge on the upper deck aft. Flanking the salon are two built-in lime green chaise lounges, sitting beneath a wide expanse of glazing while even more natural light enters through a series of square skylights in the ceiling.

At the salon’s centre is another deep sofa arranged next to two long ottomans. The cream upholstery matches the hue of the wall panels, but bright pink curtains and scatter cushions and footstools in purple, ochre, lime and turquoise inject a huge dose of fun and vibrancy into the surrounds.

During the day, guests can come here to flop on the sofas and take some time out while watching the TV. Yet with its contemporary loft feel, the salon is also a brilliant place for socialising after dark.

Yet appearances can be deceptive. Beneath her predatory profile and cutting-edge design is a softer side, one that recognises the importance of prioritising the space and comfort available for guests.

The aft deck on board KHALILAH never fails to astonish with its colossal measurements. The beam reaches its widest point here (11 metres) and the entire area measures 105 square metres, the sort of space found on a much larger, 70-metre superyacht.

Shaded by the deck above, the dining area features a bar and a bespoke wooden Cactus table. The entire charter party can be accommodated for an al fresco dinner, with the wind conveniently kept out by the huge glass panels that frame the space to port and starboard without obstructing the views. 

Further aft and open to the sun is a gigantic seating area upholstered in a gold hue which matches the yacht’s exterior paint job. Backing onto this is an oversized sun pad.

Everything needed for daytime relaxation is provided here, but the deck area serves equally well as a place to entertain and party once the sun has gone down.

Side decks spanning off this area lead via staircases to the foredeck, where a sunning station awaits, while a staircase tucked into the starboard side of the salon aft ascends to the upper deck.

When the full-width glass doors into the skylounge slide shut, the dark tinting matches the jet black radar arch above, as well as the sun loungers lining the aft section and dining chairs flanking the table.

This is the second al fresco dining setup on board and is joined by buffet stations to port and starboard, ensuring the entire space is similarly well-equipped to provide for large-scale entertainment. 

In the forward part of the skylounge, two exits to port and starboard lead to an intimate deck area with a sunken spa pool, one of the most popular places on board for daytime relaxation.  

Although the pilothouse is accessed from the main deck, a second, smaller helm station adjoins the spa pool and KHALILAH’s low profile allows navigation in the open. What’s more, wing stations can also unfold to port and starboard for better views during mooring manoeuvres. 

KHALILAH is not a yacht for the faint-hearted. Her aggressive profile ablaze in gold and her formidable performance ensures she stands out wherever she cruises, even in the world’s most popular yachting hubs.

Back on the main deck, the port-side section of the aft sun pad lifts up to reveal a staircase leading to the teak-clad beach club below. Once the tinted glass doors are slid open, the area rolls seamlessly into the swim platform, creating a large space where guests can revel in waterside relaxation.  

The armada of water toys can also be accessed from here. Stored in twin garages forward of the beach club when KHALILAH is underway, the collection can easily be unloaded by the crew when the yacht is at anchor through doors built into the sponsons.

Highlights include jet skis, a jet pack, a hover board, wakeboards, kayaks, paddleboards and inflatables. There is even a seven-metre custom tender replicating the muscular lines and dazzling gold hue of KHALILAH and ensuring charterers go everywhere on their yacht vacation in the utmost style.  

KHALILAH is not a yacht for the faint-hearted. Her aggressive profile ablaze in gold and her formidable performance ensures she stands out wherever she cruises, even in the world’s most popular yachting hubs.

From her oversized deck areas primed for relaxation and entertainment to an interior which is simultaneously fun-loving, luxurious and laid-back, this superyacht truly shines.

M/Y Khalilah: 4 Facts

The first all-carbon 49m superyacht.

Launched in 2015, the charter markets “golden girl”, the 49m Supersport M/Y Khalilah holds the position as one of the most striking Superyachts out there. Firstly because of her exterior design, and secondly because Khalilah is the first all-carbon Superyacht to ever be built! The concept behind this was to “design a next-generation Superyacht that freed itself from the conventional compromises that yacht design generally seems to accept” said her owner. The end goal was to build a vessel with “exceptional operational performance and onboard experience, not incremental improvements.”

 4 fun facts about Palmer Johnsons, M/Y Khalilah:

1. m/y khalilah is currently available for charter and for sale with superyachtsmonaco.

The golden yacht is VAT registered in France, and her current summer base port is in Imperia, Italy.

There’s even gold found on her two MTU engines at the heart of the engine room! However, step inside the yacht, and the owner wanted Khalilahs interior design to be “simple but playful”. Each of the 5 guest cabins has a different colour scheme, personalised decor, and a beautiful shower decorated with marble and colorful mosaics.
