Pearl Yachts, one of the best British yacht manufacturers celebrating this year its 20th anniversary, is attending the upcoming edition of the Cannes Yachting festival with a European debut, the successful Pearl 80, and the world première of the 29.2-metre Pearl 95, the yard’s new flagship.
The Pearl 95 is yet another result of the highly successful design collaboration between Bill Dixon and the renowned British designer Kelly Hoppen. As innovative and ground-breaking as its smaller sisters, the Pearl 95 is more luxurious and sets higher standards in style and performance, while retaining the same excellent seakeeping capabilities and impressive manoeuvrability.
Respecting the Pearl Yacht exterior design family-feeling, the new Pearl 95 is both aerodynamic and yet practical with plenty of glazing to illuminate the interior and add to its sense of spaciousness. The 95 takes the sporty style into a semi-raised pilothouse design, with an innovative and voluminous interior. The superstructure maximises glazing, introducing sweeping curves in the shearline which enhance the connection with the sea. From the hull design through to the styling, engineering and interior space planning, the Dixon design team has strived to produce a yacht that really stands out from the crowd.
The new Pearl 95 will feature exclusive Kelly Hoppen luxurious interior design, on par with the impeccable standards expected by superyacht owners. The feedback from past and current Pearl Yacht owners has had a positive impact on the development of the new 95: the owner’s cabin is located forward on the main deck and features a full beam design maximising space and creating a class-leading cabin. The main deck saloon is vast with space for a huge L-shaped sofa and a dining table for eight. A unique feature is the floor-to-ceiling fully glazed automatic patio doors on three sides of the saloon which when open allow for an unrivalled connection to the outdoors. The Sie Matic galley, manufactured to the highest standards is complimented by Gaggenau appliances and has access from the side deck allowing for separate and discreet crew access.
On the lower deck, there are two double cabins and two twin cabins, all en-suite with owners given the option to specify a breathtaking full beam cabin with walk-in wardrobe and large bathroom in place of the two double cabins. Crew accommodation for four in addition to a captain’s cabin is towards the bow. The yacht offers, reverse air-conditioning, a central vacuum system and Control 4 integrated audio and video system.
Exterior space is made up of a large area aft of the saloon on the main deck, ideal for dining; the vast flybridge features a Jacuzzi, extensive social seating areas and a sun pad, wet-bar with sink, BBQ, fridge and ice maker offers convenience for smooth entertaining as well as an impressive external helm position. A curved door forward leads to the pilothouse featuring a glass bridge with integrated navigation and vessel control systems. More sun pads and another seating area on the foredeck are sheltered from the sun by a stylish awning. To the stern, the jet ski and tender garage can be opened to reveal a surprising and convenient beach club complete with bar. A hydraulically operated bathing platform and fold down buttresses are the perfect place for sun loungers to relax close to the water’s edge. Teak decks and a hydraulic passerelle contribute to the yacht’s feeling of outstanding quality.
The Pearl 95 achieves a top speed of 28 knots and has a cruising range of 380 nautical miles thanks to its 2 x MTU 16V M96 2400hp engines. Caterpillar C32 1925hp and 2 x MTU 16V M96L 2600hp are also available.
The Pearl 95 offers everything the Pearl client has come to love but on a considerably larger scale. In addition, the Pearl 95 and all new Pearl Yachts come with a unique and comprehensive five-year warranty. With most new boat warranties running for only two years, this programme of support will provide Pearl Yacht owners with total peace of mind for an extra three years than is traditionally given.
