International Spotlight: Pearl 72
The new Pearl 72 is Pearl Yacht’s newest addition to the market, complete with unique features
A new wave of flexibility
As one of the UK’s prominent shipyards, founded in 1998, Pearl Yachts offers a range of luxury motor yachts with voluminous interiors and an opulent design — and the new Pearl 72 continues this standard.
There are not one but two master cabins, perfect for the whole family to get away and spend some time together. One is forward with a private entrance while the second is full beam amidships. Along with this, Pearl Yachts has included another two ensuite guest cabins and a crew cabin. The hull glass has a more modern look due to its expansion, and combined with the sporty curves, it is an elegant, yet sleek and more streamlined vessel.
The flybridge is full length to allow the owners to decide their optimum layout. The variable hard top provides three options, full shade, adjustable louvres and full sun, and is perfect for the varying weather conditions while on the water and enjoying the fresh air. Floor-to-ceiling windows are found in the lobby between the saloon and the open galley, and with the cut-out bulwarks, this area becomes an observatory perfect for watching the views.
Flexibility is also incorporated in the helm and forward-facing seating, which has been designed as an area for those at the controls to still engage with guests. For entertaining, a full-size dining table has a multi-functional wet bar opposite and depending on the owner’s needs, the aft area can have freestanding furniture, a sun pad or even a hot tub. Down the stairs to the cockpit, a table is centre with a sofa and seating, and is all sheltered by the flybridge but still provides a wide view. What’s more, another flight of stairs leads you to the beach club with a fold-out seat and extended bathing platform. Down here, owners will enjoy the garage for a large tender and a jet ski. For those after relaxation, the bow lounge has a wide sofa and sun pads and, with a retractable table, this space can be changed to suit your needs.
Iain Smallridge, Pearl Yachts Managing Director, said the Peal 72 offers owners so much more than competing yachts of the same size.
“In addition to providing an ideal solution for co-owners who enjoy the yacht together, the innovative layout allows owners to enjoy a beautiful view even when moored stern-to in a marina,” Smallridge said.
Officially revealed at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival, the yacht combines exterior design and naval architecture of Bill Dixon from Dixon Yacht Design with Kelly Hoppen CBE’s ‘Indulgence’ interior theme.
