Pearl Yachts, the esteemed British boutique shipyard, is delighted to announce that it has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the new Pearl 73, at a world premiere event. The project was officially presented at a press conference on Sunday, 18 January 2026, at the prestigious boot Düsseldorf, the world’s largest indoor boat show. As the latest refinement in the award-winning Pearl fleet, the Pearl 73 continues the shipyard’s legacy of combining groundbreaking innovation with the world-class design of naval architect Bill Dixon and the celebrated interior designer Kelly Hoppen CBE.

The Pearl 73 continues the design language established by the award-winning Pearl 72 while introducing a series of contemporary enhancements. Dixon Yacht Design has reinterpreted the exterior with a sleeker, sharper profile, creating an elegant yet purposeful stance that aligns the 73 with the latest generation of Pearl Yachts. Expanded glazing, refined detailing and a Riviera-inspired aft deck concept give the yacht an unmistakably modern and international appeal. Inside, Kelly Hoppen Interiors has introduced a new Monochrome décor scheme, blending tonal contrasts, layered textures and sculptural forms. The aesthetic retains the serene luxury of Pearl’s established interior style while presenting a striking new identity for the model.

Contemporary Exterior Design
Bill Dixon’s reimagined exterior styling for the Pearl 73 celebrates clean lines, refined geometry and an enhanced connection to the sea. The new Riviera-style aft deck incorporates fold-down balconies, creating an extended waterside terrace ideal for relaxing, dining or entertaining. This new configuration transforms the cockpit into a social outdoor lounge with seamless flow from the galley aft. The hull windows have been further expanded, offering a more assertive visual signature and greater natural light within. Details across the deck spaces — from the upgraded tables to refreshed wet bars and helm ergonomics — align the Pearl 73 with the newest models in the fleet.
 
Aft Deck, Flybridge & Open-Air living
Outdoor living remains central to the Pearl experience, and the 73 enhances this with newfound flexibility. The aft deck, complete with its fold-down balconies, forms a wide open, unobstructed platform overlooking the sea. Steps lead up to the full-length flybridge, protected by the hard top with its adjustable tilt-and-slide sunroof. This versatile space offers multiple configurations, including dining, lounging and optional features tailored to the owner’s preferences. Forward, the bow lounge provides a serene retreat with sofas, sunpads and an optional Bimini – the ideal place to enjoy sunset cruising.
 
The new main deck: galley aft, social by design
The Pearl 73 introduces a new main deck arrangement with the galley positioned aft, creating a natural hub between the cockpit and the interior saloon. This configuration enhances service flow and strengthens the social atmosphere onboard. The saloon benefits from full-height windows and clean architectural lines, maintaining the sense of openness characteristic of the Pearl 72. Moving forward beneath the brand’s signature double windscreen, the helm area is accompanied by a relaxed dinette and optional side deck access door.
 
Class-Leading Layout
Just like the Pearl 72, the Pearl 73 offers a layout unmatched in its category: two master cabins — one forward with private access and one full-beam amidships — plus two additional en-suite guest cabins plus accommodation for 2 crew in addition to an exceptional garage, with space for a William 345 tender (or similar) and a jet ski.
 
New Monochrome Interior by KHI
The introduction of the Monochrome interior scheme marks a new chapter in the collaboration between Pearl Yachts and Kelly Hoppen Interiors. This design concept brings a sophisticated palette of greys, off-whites and charcoals, balanced by rich textures, architectural details and reflective surfaces. The atmosphere is both calm and dramatic, echoing urban luxury while maintaining a serene nautical sensibility. Every cabin and living area has been refined with improved detailing, including updated cabinetry, modernised fittings and carefully harmonised material selections.
 
Performance & Engineering
Customers may select from a range of powerful engine configurations, all designed to provide smooth cruising and satisfy the performance expectations synonymous with the Pearl brand. Whether the owner chooses the standard 1400HP MAN V12 or the optional MAN V12 with 1550HP, the Pearl 73’s advanced hull architecture ensures a smooth, efficient cruise and easy handling. The latter engine carries her up to 32 knots, with a cruising speed of 25 knots for a range of approximately 250 nautical miles. All the performance advancements have implications for comfort, safety, and fuel economy.
 
Five-year warranty
As with all models in the Pearl range, the new Pearl 73 comes with the shipyard’s industry-leading five-year warranty, underscoring Pearl Yachts’ commitment to quality, reliability and long-term customer care.
 
Iain Smallridge, Managing Director of Pearl Yachts, commented on the launch: “The Pearl 73 is a yacht that truly encapsulates the Pearl ethos: it is an evolution, not a revolution. We have taken a winning formula in the Pearl 72 and elevated it, guided by the invaluable feedback from our owners and our deep understanding of the market. The introduction of the Riviera-style aft deck and the aft galley layout is a direct response to the way modern owners live and entertain on board. It creates a seamless connection between the interior and the sea, which is at the heart of the yachting experience. To present this new project at boot Düsseldorf, a stage we share with the world’s finest, is a moment of great pride. We are confident that the Pearl 73 will be another jewel in our crown, and we look forward to welcoming clients and press to our stand to share our vision for the future.”
