Pearl 72 world premiered at FLIBS

It’s been about a year since the design was unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2021, but now, on the other side of the world, at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2022, the Pearl 72 is a concrete reality: with a superb exterior design by Dixon Yacht Design and an interior design by Kelly Hoppen CBE, Pearl Yachts showed the exquisitely British style of its latest jewel to the public for the first time.

Extremely spacious with its two ‘master’ cabins, one forward with a private entrance, typical of much larger yachts, and the second amidships, the new Pearl 72 has two further double en-suite cabins and crew accommodation, plus a garage of exceptional proportions with enough space for a William 345 tender (or similar) and a jet ski. Folding balconies at water level also create a beach club for those who like to spend time near the water, allowing owners to enjoy a splendid view even when moored in port.

Behind the innovation and superb seaworthiness that characterize Pearl Yachts are award-winning naval architect Bill Dixon, who worked on her aerodynamic lines, and world-renowned designer Kelly Hoppen CBE, who penned the interiors: a style that is constantly evolving, defined by a subtle fusion of clean lines and neutral tones, which has won him numerous prestigious awards. Pure British design, inside and out.

Lastly, the new Pearl 72 brings another first on board: Kelly’s new ‘Indulgence’ interior design theme. The design intent of this yacht is to capture New York City urban life, combining the incredible mechanical characteristics that have been achieved with a range of materials including wood, stone and contrasting metal details that create enchanting reflections and luxurious tones that ideally blend her interior with the ocean.

“I know I speak for each of us who has been involved in the Pearl 72 project when I say that it is an immensely satisfying moment to be relaxing under the Florida sun, surrounded by friends, with the finished product of all our efforts sparkling in front of us – said Pearl CEO Iain Smallridge The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show was the perfect setting for the premiere, and highlights the growing significance of our American market, where we now have a well-established sales network through our Partners Atlantic Yacht & Ship, the east coast dealer and Jeff Brown Yachts, the west coast dealer.”
