PEARL YACHTS ANNOUNCES SALE OF FIRST PEARL 100 HYBRID, VALIDATING A NEW ERA IN SUSTAINABLE YACHTING
In a resounding endorsement of its pioneering vision, Pearl Yachts in conjunction with Mallorca Marine Group is delighted to announce the sale of the first Pearl 100 Hybrid. The sale of the cutting-edge new flagship was secured shortly after the project’s global unveiling at the Cannes Yachting Festival, representing a significant market validation of the British shipyard’s commitment to a new era of sustainable yachting.
The buyer, a discerning British owner and existing member of the Pearl family, has chosen to continue his journey with the brand, a remarkable testament to the enduring quality and exceptional ownership experience that defines Pearl Yachts. The Pearl 100 is scheduled to be launched in the summer of 2026, with her official world debut poised to be a highlight of the Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show in the same year.
The Pearl 100 Hybrid is the largest and most ambitious yacht ever to be built by the shipyard. This groundbreaking 30-metre superyacht is the first in its class to feature a hybrid propulsion system as standard, offering the choice of silent, zero-emission cruising or a thrilling top speed of 24 knots, without compromise. The yacht’s innovative design, a masterpiece from the long-standing collaboration between naval architect Bill Dixon and interior designer Kelly Hoppen CBE, features five luxurious staterooms, including two full-beam master suites, and a host of features designed to foster an intimate connection with the ocean.
Iain Smallridge, Managing Director of Pearl Yachts, expressed his profound satisfaction with the sale: “The sale of the new Pearl 100 Hybrid is a defining moment for us. It confirms our belief that the future of yachting lies in a harmonious blend of luxury and sustainability. To have the first hull acquired by a loyal client is the highest praise we could hope for; it validates not only our design and engineering but the very essence of the Pearl ownership journey. This sale is not just a transaction; it is the start of a new chapter for Pearl Yachts, as we lead the charge towards a cleaner, quieter, and more sophisticated era of sustainable yachting.
