Pearl 62: On board Pearl Yachts' latest superyacht

With competitors backed by powerful international conglomerates, the only way for family-run builders to survive is to do things better – or differently. Andrew Johansson says Pearl Yachts’  latest model, the Pearl 62, promises both...

As I approach the 18.6-metre Pearl 62, moored in Southampton on a wet and gusty day, it is clear that she is an attempt to revive the essence of the British brand’s obsolete Pearl 60 and 65. The exterior styling, by Dixon Yacht Design , embraces the visual DNA of these older models while offering modern appeal with larger windows and longer, uninterrupted stretches of glass. Crucially, these stylistic advances retain the signature look of a Pearl yacht.

“There are clear and simple lines on the profile that we wanted to carry over from one boat to the other,” explains Bill Dixon, founder of Dixon Yacht Design, who has a long-standing relationship with the British shipyard. “While you style the outside, you need to ensure it will work on the inside too. The secret to this boat was creating it as a whole and then making sure each space worked with the other.”

In a marketplace offering a healthy variety of options, relying on the tried-and-tested simply won’t cut it: maintaining client interest is harder than ever. This fact is all too evident to Pearl Yachts’ managing director Iain Smallridge, who wanted to combine new ideas with the successes of the past to meet today’s client demands. The goal was to deliver a product that offers more than its competitors and execute it to a standard expected of much larger boats.

“We wanted to replicate the success we had with the Pearl 60, which was an aft cabin design, on the Pearl 62,” says Smallridge. “The USP of the Pearl 60 was that it had four cabins. We sold about 30 boats over a period of eight or nine years, making it the most successful model we’ve had to date. So, with the Pearl 62 we have a full-beam owner’s suite with dedicated staircase amidships, along with a double and two twin suites up forward and the option of a crew cabin or jet ski garage aft, which is unique in the market.”

With the exterior taking a back seat to the requirements of the layout, a generous internal space has been achieved with decorative schemes to suit most tastes – the yard offers two options on the 62. Stepping through the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and into the main saloon, the quality is immediately evident on this modern interior edition. The light colour palette with dark accents, together with materials such as wood and marble, have been used throughout.

The interior design’s attention to detail is worthy of a superyacht. The wooden frame that bridges the main saloon to the galley on the main deck, for example, has been constructed from individually cut wooden pieces sandwiched together – rather than routing one piece of wood – to create an engaging vertical ribbed effect.

With the exterior taking a back seat to the requirements of the layout, a generous internal space has been achieved with decorative schemes to suit most tastes – the yard offers two options on the 62. Stepping through the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and into the main saloon, the quality is immediately evident on this Modern interior edition. The light colour palette with dark accents, together with materials such as wood and marble, have been used throughout.

This detail is replicated on doors, panelling and furniture throughout the yacht. The wooden frame’s slats also act as a visual break between the two internal zones of the boat without obstructing the valuable views fore and aft.

“The joinery detailing is very organic and sculptural, using a blonde wood mixed with black and neutrals,” says Kelly Hoppen, founder of Kelly Hoppen Interiors and the Pearl 62’s interior designer. “For me, the change of textures and colour was the difference [on this project], as well as the sculptural moulded joinery, which I adore. I also love the ribbed effect throughout the yacht, enhancing the layering of textures and lighting details, which are always so important on a yacht.”

The main saloon, guest cabins and owner’s suite feel larger than they actually are thanks to the carefully planned layout and head height that rises and dips with the floor level. Multiple windows and a spacious staircase forward lead the eye ahead to the double guest suite in the bow on the lower deck. Access to this cabin is via a spacious lobby from which two twin suites are accessed. Above the double cabin is a sunpad and forward-facing seating with a foldaway teak table, while the aft deck hosts al fresco dining. The flybridge includes additional seating and sun loungers, a wet bar and cool box with shade provided by an optional hardtop with retractable sunroof.

“When we developed the Pearl 75 in 2014 we wanted a different angle on the interior design.  All the production boat builders tend to produce variations of the same theme and we all followed a predictable pattern,” says Smallridge as he explains why Pearl Yachts commissioned Hoppen for the 62.

“When we began with the Pearl 75, we wanted something that was stylish and designer but wasn’t a variation of someone else’s theme. So when I was introduced to Kelly’s work, I really liked her style, the quality of the design and its exclusivity. I think anyone who looks at our yachts styled by Kelly Hoppen will quickly understand why we went down that road.”

This partnership certainly offers something different from the market, but the special appeal of this boat is really the space on offer. By adopting the qualities of the Pearl 60 combined with a fresh new look outside and in, and by pushing the engines as far aft as possible with the use of Volvo IPS drives, Pearl has made this yacht bigger than would otherwise have been possible. In particular, the space saving nature of the pods allows for a jet ski garage or crew cabin above them. While the engine room is fitted with one of three twin engine options, at the time of writing most clients have specified the most powerful IPS 1200s.

In short, the Pearl 62 delivers what the market wants – a spacious, well-executed and finished yacht that is simple for owners to navigate. The limited production of these boats over its competitors also adds an element of exclusivity. The quality and space that comes with the 18.6-metre is evident as soon as you step on board, and with nine boats already sold and interest continuing to grow, the Pearl 62 is on course to beat its much-loved predecessors in every sense.

Meet the Pearl Yachts 62

• By Patrick Sciacca
• Updated: June 30, 2020

I stared at the Pearl 62′s image above, switching back and forth between placing my thumb over the flybridge and then removing it. The exercise, to my eye, displays lines that appear inspired by an express cruiser—but with the added function of a flybridge. That flybridge does not distract from her sporty look and instead flows with the yacht’s superstructure.

Bill Dixon, who also penned the builder’s 80- and 95-footers, did the exterior design and naval architecture on the Pearl 62. Dixon drew motion into the yacht’s profile via the raked window forward, the curved glass reaching aft in the superstructure and the fiberglass line between the panes flanking the salon. That line rises up and aft, similar to the look of a wake breaking behind the transom. The flybridge hardtop’s supports lean forward, contrasting the sweptback look and adding sleekness to the yacht’s appearance. Hullside glass extends the profile visually, while adding light and views in the four-stateroom, three-head layout belowdecks.

There is a full-beam master stateroom amidships with an en suite head, two chairs and a table to starboard, and a private entrance from the salon. This stateroom’s volume is possible because the yacht’s Volvo Penta IPS diesels are farther aft than straight-shaft powerplants, increasing living space. There is a forepeak VIP with an en suite head. Abaft to port and starboard are guest staterooms with double berths.

The flybridge has a helm console to starboard with a sun pad to port. There is U-shaped seating abaft the sun pad, and two L-shaped seats are far aft.

Power options are IPS950s (725 hp), IPS1050s (800 hp) and IPS1200s (900 hp). Preliminary sea trials showed a reported top hop of 32 knots.

The Pearl Yachts 62 might be the builder’s smallest model, but it has all the function and flair of her bigger siblings.

Pearl 62 review: New flybridge contender doesn’t follow the crowd

With four double cabins, sprawling deck spaces and a stunning Kelly Hoppen interior, the Pearl 62 is looking to shake up the 60ft flybridge market

There are some manufacturers that effortlessly imbue their boats with a sense of occasion. Sunseeker, Riva, and Pershing have long had it mastered and in recent times it’s Galeon that has been dropping jaws for fun in the boat show aisles.

The new Pearl 62, the smallest model of the current range, is a worthy new addition to this club. It’s a boat that has real presence, even from the pontoon where its height, style and impressively hefty mouldings and deck gear make it appear larger than its LOA of 61ft would suggest. … Read full post here: https://www.mby.com/video/pearl-62-review-flybridge-110857

Azimut 62 Fly First Look: Seting New Standards for Outdoor Entertaining

• Top stories

Azimut unveiled the brand new Fly 62 at the Cannes boat show this month. Along with the world premiere of the Seadeck 7 and show premieres of the Seadeck 6 and a revamped S8, it caps an impressive flurry of new launch activity from one of Italy’s biggest yards.

The big news on the Azimut 62 Fly is an exciting new cockpit treatment. Called the Beach Cockpit, it features a clever new electrically powered aft sofa with a seat base that drops down into the deck while the backrest simultaneously folds out and back, converting it from a forward- facing dinette sofa to a low-level aft facing sunpad. The result is an unobstructed view of the sea from both the saloon and cockpit, all without recourse to the complex and costly fold-down terraces that some yards favour.

Other outdoor spaces on the Azimut 62 Fly look equally inviting. There’s a long and well-equipped flybridge with a cosy lounge area overlooking the stern and a larger dining and helm station forward under the shelter of a hardtop.

The Beach Cockpit’s low-level sunbed converts to a raised transom bench

And there’s a very sociable-looking foredeck lounge with lots of deeply upholstered face-to-face seating and a walkway through the middle. While the overall design comes from Alberto Mancini, the interior is by Fabio Fantolino, whose speciality is clean, fresh spaces with minimal clutter. The Azimut 62 Fly renderings show a bright, user-friendly saloon/galley with big windows, light oak veneers, neutral coloured fabrics and curved edges for easier movement around the main deck. The split-level saloon includes an aft galley to port with a cosy coffee/dining area opposite and a larger lounge amidships.

Azimut 50 Flybridge used boat review

Azimut 62 fly with vip spaces.

Azimut hasn’t yet released renderings or layout plans for the lower deck but we know there will be three ensuite guest cabins and a crew cabin. Expect a full-beam owners’ suite amidships, a VIP forward and a twin between them plus a small crew space aft.

Soft curves and neutral colours make for a safe and calming interior

With an LOA of 63ft 8in and a maximum beam of 16ft 8in, the new Azimut 62 Fly is around 4ft longer and 1in wider than the current Azimut 60 but thanks to extensive use of weight saving carbon fibre, especially in the superstructure and flybridge, it’s actually marginally lighter at a claimed 35.3 tonnes. The other big change is the switch from shaftdrive engines to IPS pods, giving a slight increase in speed (up from 31 to 32 knots) and efficiency from the same 900hp Volvo Penta D13 engines.
