Pearl Yachts is to mark its debut into the superyacht market with the unveiling of its semi-custom flagship model Pearl 95 at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
The latest 29 metre model is a step up from the award-winning Pearl 75 and will be the largest vessel to be built by the British yacht builder to date.
The exterior styling and naval architecture of the 29.2 metre yacht was handed to Southampton based Dixon Yacht Design while British designer Kelly Hoppen was appointed to design the interiors.
The pairing continues a long running collaboration between Hoppen and yacht designer Bill Dixon.
“The Pearl 95 offers everything the Pearl client has come to love but on a considerably larger scale,” the company said.
Efforts have been made to retain the seakeeping and manoeuvrability of Pearl 95’s smaller sister yachts.
The interior has been described as aerodynamic with glazing illuminating the interior in order to add to its sense of spaciousness.
However owners are able to opt instead for a full beam cabin with a walk-in wardrobe and large bathroom in place of the two double cabins.
Crew quarters are for four towards the bow with an additional captain’s cabin.
A large area aft of the saloon on the main deck has been created for dining while a curved door leads forward to the pilot house. This features a glass bridge with integrated navigation and vessel control systems.
The main deck saloon can accommodate an L-shaped sofa while the dining table seats eight.
It also includes floor to ceiling fully glazed automatic patio doors on three sides which immerses it in natural light.
Other features on board include a flybridge featuring a Jacuzzi, BBQ, wet-bar with sink, fridge and icemaker.
The Pearl 95 also includes a Jet Ski and tender garage which can be opened to reveal a beach club and bar.
Power will come from a pair of 2400hp MTU 16V M96 engines for a top speed of 28 knots and maximum cruising range of 380 nautical miles.
Caterpillar C32 1925hp and MTU 16V M96L 2600hp engines are also available.
