Naples buys a boat to sit still on it. Palm Beach, increasingly, does not — owners commissioning new builds are asking for space to move, not just to lounge, and yards are answering with layouts built around staying active rather than stretched out. It is the kind of shift that shows up first at the dock in West Palm, where a boat's floor plan says as much about its owner as its flag does.

The American Set on film — also on Instagram.

With reporting from Robb Report.
