Presented at the prestigious 2018 World Yacht Trophies Awards, organised by French magazine Yachts France, the Pearl 95 obtained the award for Best Layout in the 80' - 125' range. Held on Saturday the 15th September with the Carlton Hotel as an iconic backdrop, the World Yacht Trophies returned for it's 15th anniversary on the penultimate day of the spectacular Cannes Yachting Festival.
As the yachting industry's alternative to the Oscars, the World Yacht Trophy for Best Layout is an exciting addition to the trophy cabinet for the team at Pearl Yachts.
Featuring exclusive design work from the international design star Kelly Hoppen and long term collaborators Dixon Yacht Design, the Pearl 95 proves it is a vessel that will turn heads in every marina. Making it's worldwide debut at the 2018 Cannes Yachting Festival, the popularity of the brand new British flagship has already set the benchmark for Pearl Yachts this season with an award win at its debut show appearance.
Contrasting sweeping curves and linear lines create a modern edge to the deep V hull, which promotes a sporty silhouette. Extensive glazing on the exteriors reflects the superior finish to the vessel, with a semi raised pilothouse providing extra shape to the streamlined look.
Impressive features immediately strike the eye with a spacious beach club and drop down balconies. Guest comfort is a primary focus for the Pearl Yachts flagship, making an outdoor haven a must. Easy access to the sea and plenty of storage for watertoys combined with volumes of space for spectators makes the Pearl 95 an iconic vessel for outdoor entertaining.
Pearl Yachts are renowned for their combination of modern “sporty” styling, and extremely spacious interiors. With the 95 the challenge was to take that “sporty” ethos into a semi raised pilothouse design, with an innovative voluminous interior.

Interiors for the Pearl 95 can only be described as luxurious and timeless. Three alternative schemes are available for yacht owners including; Luxury, a chic monochrome look, Taupe, a paler palette with stripes and rich browns and Studio which presents more earthy tones with ivory and warm greys. Contrasting light and dark woods and a high gloss white lacquered ceiling produce an enviable feeling of space onboard, with natural light flooding in from full length automatic patio doors.
The main saloon is spacious with plenty of room for social occasions and a formal dining area for up to eight guests. For more informal dining, guests also have an option to use a breakfast bar adorned to a Sie Matic galley. Discreet side deck entry for crew opens up into a top of the range galley, which is complimented by Gaggenau appliances.
With the new Pearl 95 I really wanted to bring back the traditional feel of yacht design but mixing it with modern detailing to bring it into the 21st century.
Accommodation on the Pearl 95 comprises of a four or five cabin layout. An impressive owner's cabin is located forward on the saloon deck with huge windows for a panoramic view of the bow. An adjoining antechamber also contains a dressing table and stowage.
The lower deck has a layout of two twins and two doubles, but owners have the option to replace the two doubles for a full beam VIP cabin with it's own walk in wardrobe and large bathroom. To finish off the elegant decor in the cabins, a selection of curated furnishings by Kelly Hoppen are available to add some extra luxurious touches.
