Pearl Yachts has unveiled the Pearl 82, an innovative 25-metre yacht that redefines its class with an array of superyacht-inspired features. Designed to balance a sporty exterior with expansive interiors, the Pearl 82 showcases cutting-edge design and seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces.

A key highlight of the Pearl 82 is its five en-suite staterooms, including a main deck master suite—a rarity in this size category. The master suite provides direct access to a private terrace at the bow, which is connected to the flybridge via a dedicated passageway to port. This semi-walkaround flybridge is a first in the 80-foot market, allowing fluid movement between exterior areas. The foredeck lounge, located just steps from the owner’s terrace, offers a sunbathing area around a cocktail table, further enhancing the yacht’s luxurious appeal.

Pearl Yachts has introduced two aft deck configurations—Riviera and Veranda—allowing owners to customise their experience. The Riviera layout prioritises relaxation, featuring aft-facing sun pads behind a sofa and dining table arrangement that offers uninterrupted sea views. Additionally, fold-down balconies extend the space, creating an immersive connection to the water.

Designed by Bill Dixon for exterior styling and naval architecture, and Kelly Hoppen CBE for interior aesthetics, the Pearl 82 boasts a refined and cohesive design ethos. Extensive hull and superstructure glazing floods the interiors with natural light, ensuring uninterrupted sea views and a seamless connection to the surrounding environment. The flybridge includes a full-sized dining table, a versatile wet bar, and a combination sun pad and hot tub, while electric shades, a foredeck Bimini, and a variable hardtop offer adaptable comfort across different settings.

Performance is equally impressive, with three propulsion options powered by twin MAN V12 engines ranging from 1650hp to 2000hp. The most powerful configuration reaches a top speed of 33 knots, while the others achieve 32 and 28 knots respectively. Refined naval architecture ensures a smooth and efficient cruising experience.

By pushing the boundaries of design and functionality, Pearl Yachts has created a standout model in the 80-foot category. The Pearl 82 successfully combines superyacht-level luxury with exceptional performance, setting a new benchmark in its class.
