Pearl 62 Review (2024 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The exterior of the Pearl 62 features a distinctive Pearl style with sleek lines and practical design elements. The cockpit area has a designer table with a stainless steel leg that curves up and around, making it appear to float. The area can be enclosed with a canopy for protection, allowing it to be integrated with the interior. The yacht also features a hydraulic bathing platform, which can extend outward without descending, providing easy access to the garage without needing to launch the tender.

The flybridge is a standout feature, offering ample space for dining and relaxation. It includes a wet bar equipped with an ice maker, fridge, barbecue, and sink, making it ideal for entertaining. The flybridge also has a sunbed, which is a popular choice for Mediterranean cruising. The hardtop features an opening section, allowing for flexibility between sun and shade, along with adjustable bimini poles.

The Pearl 62's interior is available in three style options: modern, luxury, and indulgence. This particular yacht features the indulgence interior, with a smart wooden floor that suits the Mediterranean lifestyle. The galley is open and connects to the dining area, with bi-fold doors that enhance the feeling of openness. The saloon is equipped with large, comfortable sofas, a retractable TV, and overhead glass panels that flood the space with natural light. The yacht's attention to detail is evident in the storage solutions, with crockery and cutlery neatly arranged and bearing Pearl logos.

The helm of the Pearl 62 is designed with the owner-operator in mind. It is equipped with advanced navigation technology, including Garmin multi-function displays and an IPS joystick for precise control. The helm station also features traditional throttles, switchgear, and a bow thruster, ensuring comprehensive control over the yacht's operations. The design allows for excellent visibility and easy access to all controls.

The owner's cabin is a highlight of the Pearl 62, offering a spacious and luxurious retreat. Located aft, it features thoughtful details such as fold-out reading lights, a dressing table, and large hull windows that provide plenty of natural light. The cabin includes a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, complete with a large shower and high-quality finishes. 

The lower deck houses three well-proportioned guest cabins, each offering ample headroom and space. The forward cabin includes an ensuite bathroom, while the other two cabins share a day head that can serve as an ensuite at night. The cabins feature versatile configurations, allowing for conversion between double and single beds as needed. Large hull windows and high-quality finishes ensure a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for guests.

The Pearl 62 offers a crew cabin option, which is compact yet finished to the same high standard as the rest of the yacht. While primarily an owner-operated vessel, the crew cabin provides overflow space or accommodation for a skipper on longer journeys. It includes a private bathroom with a shower, ensuring comfort and privacy for temporary crew members or guests.

The Pearl 62 is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS1200 engines, each delivering 900hp. This configuration allows for a top speed of over 30 knots, providing a balance of performance and efficiency. The yacht is designed for a cruising speed of around 23 knots, offering a range of approximately 260 nautical miles. At a reduced speed of 10 knots, the range extends to 600 nautical miles.

In this tour, Nick highlights the Pearl 62’s welcoming interior and clever crew cabin layout, focusing on the yacht’s thoughtful design and attention to detail. He points out how it balances luxury and practicality, offering spacious living areas, advanced technology, and features that suit both owners and crew. The Pearl 62 stands out with its high-quality finishes and innovative touches, making it a solid choice for owner-operators who value comfort, style, and functionality. Nick’s enthusiasm is clear as he highlights the unique details that set the Pearl 62 apart from the rest.
