The Pearl 82 has sailed off to yet another spotline at the prestigious International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2025. It has won the title of Best Motor Yacht Under 25 Metres. This is the third international accolade for the Pearl 82 within a year. The yacht made its official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, where it won the Best Layout (24m–30m) award at the World Yachts Trophies. This year, it also won the award for Flybridges over 60ft at the Motor Boat Awards 2025 in Düsseldorf. Each of these awards shows that Pearl Yachts is solidifying its position as a design-forward, boutique yacht builder.
At the prestigious 2025 International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2025, the Pearl 82 stood out for its intelligent layout, modern silhouette, and high-performance capabilities. Designed in collaboration with Dixon Yacht Design and styled by world-renowned Kelly Hoppen Interiors, this 25-metre yacht is innovative, elegant, and an example of engineering excellence.
It can accommodate up to ten guests and has five en-suite staterooms. The luxurious full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck of the yacht is a rare feature in this size category. The Pearl 82 interiors showcase Hoppen’s signature understated glamour and tonal harmony that’s sophisticated, comfortable, and visually pleasing
Besides, this special yacht also boasts:
- a spacious tender garage,
- dedicated crew quarters, and
- an expansive flybridge ideal for entertaining or relaxing at sea.
Its raised pilothouse configuration allows for improved visibility at the helm while optimising space on both the main and upper decks.
Iain Smallridge, Managing Director of Pearl Yachts, says that this recognition is not for one yacht model of their company. It reflects a philosophy. He says:
“The Pearl 82 is a result of purposeful innovation. From the drawing board to the final detailing, it’s built to surprise and satisfy. To be recognised across three major international platforms confirms that we’ve succeeded in delivering something truly unique to the market.”
The modular, flexible layout of the Pearl 82 allows owners to customise the vessel according to personal lifestyle preferences. They might choose to have expansive entertainment zones or maximise the storage and crew efficiency of the yacht. The yacht design of the Pearl 82 can adapt to such requests beautifully without compromising on aesthetics of the boat.
Paul Hannah, Production Director, shared:
“Our commitment to building only a limited number of yachts each year allows us to give extraordinary attention to each project. The Pearl 82 reflects our meticulous craftsmanship, from the bespoke joinery to the balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. It’s not just a yacht—it’s a floating statement of design clarity and engineering discipline.”
Pearl Yachts is one of the UK’s premier yacht manufacturers. Founded in 1998, it is known for its clever spatial solutions and spacious interiors. It has emerged as a brand of choice for yacht owners who want both individuality and performance.
With the Pearl 82, the brand has set a new benchmark in the sub-25-metre category. At Glamour Yacht, we see the Pearl 82 as a model that redefines dynamic styling, liveable luxury, and technical precision. It offers the essence of a superyacht experience in a more accessible footprint, which in itself is an award-winning feat.
