Palmer Johnson PJ120

Overall

Sleek PJ120 with a fresh 2022 refit.

Bagheera is a 36.57-metre Palmer Johnson 120 designed inside and out by Nuvolari-Lenard—a crisp, contemporary sports yacht that marries head-turning style with real performance. Delivered in 2005 and refitted in 2022, she presents with renewed interiors and updated systems, bringing a modern sheen to a proven platform. Her fast, planing aluminium hull and GRP superstructure are paired to twin MTUs for spirited cruising, while a 28-knot top end and 24-knot passage speed keep itineraries flexible. Accommodation is arranged for families and friends: four ensuite cabins sleep eight as standard, with a Pullman option for a ninth guest; a professional crew of five looks after the detail. Unique among PJ120s, Bagheera features an infinity-edge Jacuzzi on the aft deck that overlooks the swim platform—an instantly memorable signature. Day spaces inside and out are laid out for easy, sociable living, and stabilisers at anchor and underway help keep the ride level when you’re on the move or lingering in a quiet bay. In short, she’s a refreshed, high-energy Med cruiser with pedigree design and a distinctive lifestyle twist.

Exterior

Sporty lines, standout infinity-edge aft pool.

Nuvolari-Lenard’s exterior gives Bagheera the classic PJ stance: long, low and purposeful, with generous sunning and lounging zones that spill across three levels. Aft, the star feature is the glass-edged Jacuzzi that appears to flow toward the sea; it surveys the broad swim platform below for seamless dips and toy launches. Up top, an inviting flybridge/upper deck sets the tone for long lunches and golden-hour cocktails, while forward and main-deck sunpads offer quieter nooks for a book and a breeze. Wide side decks and practical detailing make movement safe and simple underway. Built on an aluminium planing hull with GRP superstructure, she couples efficient, high-speed runs with the comfort of stabilisers at anchor and underway—useful when Med afternoons turn lively. Underwater lights ramp up the theatre at night, while crisp deck joinery and contemporary loose furniture keep the look polished without feeling precious. Altogether, the deck plan is equal parts fun and functional, with that aft-deck pool delivering a signature moment each time you look astern.

Interior

Nuvolari-Lenard calm with contemporary richness.

Inside, the 2022 refit brings a warm, modern palette— with dark woods, marble accents and plush textures— all of the highest quality and in immaculate condition.  The main saloon is arranged for relaxed, social living with sofa groupings and entertainment neatly integrated; it flows naturally to the aft cockpit for shaded alfresco dining just steps from the water. Below, all four guest suites are ensuite and thoughtfully balanced: a full-beam master, two VIP doubles and a twin with a Pullman, keeping sleeping arrangements flexible for families or groups of friends. Technology meets comfort in the background: with air-conditioning and Wi-Fi and service areas configured for smooth, discreet hospitality by a five-strong crew. The overall effect is one of easygoing sophistication—refined materials, good natural light, and a layout that makes it effortless to gather, unwind and then peel off to quieter corners when you want them. It’s a refreshed, cohesive interior that complements the yacht’s sporty character rather than competing with it.
