PEARL 82 NAMED BEST MOTOR YACHT UNDER 25 METRES AT THE 2025 INTERNATIONAL YACHT & AVIATION AWARDS
The awards ceremony took place on Friday, 6 June 2025, at the iconic Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo, bringing together leading figures from the worlds of yachting and aviation to celebrate excellence in design and innovation.
The Pearl 82, a 25-metre raised pilothouse yacht, stood out for its innovative layout, refined aesthetics, and the perfect balance between performance and luxury. Designed by Dixon Yacht Design, with interiors by Kelly Hoppen Interiors, the yacht offers five en-suite staterooms including a main deck master, alongside a generous tender garage and crew accommodation.
This latest accolade follows two previous prestigious wins:
- In September 2024, at its world debut during the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Pearl 82 was honoured at the World Yachts Trophies with the award for Best Layout in the 24m to 30m category.
- In January 2025, the yacht triumphed in the Flybridges over 60ft category at the Motor Boat Awards 2025, held in Düsseldorf, Germany, where it was praised for its exceptional space, style, and intelligent design.
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this international recognition for the Pearl 82,” said Iain Smallridge, Managing Director of Pearl Yachts ” Winning three major awards in less than a year is a testament to the strength of our product and the creative collaboration between our design partners and in-house teams. It reflects our ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of yacht design in both aesthetics and functionality.”
Paul Hannah, Production Director of Pearl Yachts, added: “At Pearl, we build a limited number of high-quality yachts each year. This allows us to truly focus on delivering innovative designs, maximising every space, and ensuring outstanding quality and attention to detail throughout the range. Recognition like this confirms the success of our approach.” This string of accolades represents a significant milestone in Pearl Yachts’ continued rise on the international stage, further establishing the Pearl 82 as a benchmark in the sub-25-metre segment and reinforcing the shipyard’s reputation as a leader in boutique yacht building.
