Congrats to Pearl Yachts as they Celebrate 25 Years!
In the world of luxury yachting, few names conjure as much respect and admiration as Pearl Yachts. This year we celebrate a Pearl anniversary. The prestigious company celebrated its 25th anniversary at the exclusive Puerto Portals marina in Mallorca. The VIP guests came to see Pearl’s latest yachts at the anniversary event.
The remarkable journey of Pearl Yachts began in 1998 when founders Iain Smallridge and John Yarnold decided to take on global yacht builders. Their dream was simple – to create a brand that could stand tall amidst the best in the world. Margaret and Tony Whittaker shared this vision and in 2003, they invested in the brand, setting the stage for the next phase in Pearl’s evolution.
Under their influence, Pearl launched a series of sleek, stylish flybridge yachts, starting with the gorgeous Pearl 55. This was a game-changer, a yacht that perfectly encapsulated the brand’s commitment to elegant design and superior performance. Each model that followed carried this ethos forward, propelling Pearl into a league of its own.
One of the key figures in Pearl’s success story is Bill Dixon. Famous for his naval architecture, he lent his expertise to Pearl, helping shape the brand’s distinct identity in the industry. Equally significant was the contribution of Kelly Hoppen CBE, who developed exclusive interiors for Pearl. The result was a series of yachts that not only performed admirably on the water but also offered a luxurious, comfortable experience for those onboard.
Pearl’s dedication to pushing design boundaries has been rewarded with a flurry of awards. Their innovative designs and cutting-edge technology have made them a favorite amongst critics and yachting enthusiasts alike. Their consistent performance over the years has sparked speculation about their possible venture into the superyacht market. As they approach the 100 feet mark, the expectation is building.
Over the past 25 years, Pearl Yachts has proven time and time again that they are more than capable of competing with the best. Their journey is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and their willingness to push the envelope.
As they celebrate this significant milestone, the future looks bright for Pearl. The anticipation of what they will do next is as exciting as it is palpable. Atlantic Yacht and Ship would like to wish another 25 years of innovation and excellence to Pearl Yachts. We are proud to be a dealer for this elite and amazing yacht builder.
Pearl 95
The largest of the fleet. The Pearl 95 features a full-width owner’s suite on the main deck, in addition to a spacious beach club with fold-down buttresses. This yacht has demonstrated to be an award-winning blend of performance, aesthetics, and quality, clinching the ‘Best Layout’ award at the World Yachts Trophies. The Pearl 95 has also been recognized with awards such as ‘Best Interior Design – Power Yachts’ and ‘Best Main Saloon’ at the International Yacht and Aviation Awards.
Pearl 72
The newest Pearl 72 introduces a unique feature to its size category: two Master Suites. One is located at the front with a private entry, a feature usually found on significantly larger yachts, while the other spans the full width of the yacht in the middle.
This innovative design not only provides a perfect solution for co-owners who use the yacht simultaneously, but also allows owners to enjoy a stunning view even when the yacht is docked stern-to at a marina. The yacht also includes two additional en-suite double rooms and crew quarters, as well as an impressive garage that can accommodate a William 345 tender (or equivalent) and a jet ski.
Pearl 62
The Pearl 62 stands out as the sole yacht in its size category that provides lodging for eight guests in four cabins. This includes a full beam owner’s suite with its own entrance, along with the option for the owner to choose between a crew cabin or a jet ski garage. Significant characteristics also encompass a back kitchen that leads to the cockpit, a roomy flybridge, a front deck lounge, and the benefits of Volvo IPS pod drive propulsion, like joystick management and station maintaining function.
