Recently inducted into the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame after earning a flawless YB 5 Star score, the Pearl yachts carries Bill Dixon’s exterior lines, Kelly Hoppen’s interior schemes, and a layout that prioritizes space, privacy, and practical movement on board.
The German premiere of the Pearl 63 forms the centerpiece of Pearl’s display at Boot 2026. The shipyard will also present the design of the upcoming Pearl 73, which will sit between the Pearl 63 and the Pearl 82 and reinforce the shipyard’s emphasis on owner-focused design and build quality.
A layout designed for long stays and family cruising
The interior plan of the motor yacht prioritizes volume and privacy, anchored by a four-cabin layout with a full-beam owner’s suite set apart from the guest areas via a private stairway. The arrangement gives the owner a distinct space with wide hull windows and a calm feel during longer stays. The VIP and guest cabins carry consistent proportions, suiting family use and extended cruising.
On the main deck, large windows and bi-fold doors open the saloon to the cockpit, supporting an easy flow between indoor and outdoor areas. Owners can select from Kelly Hoppen’s interior palettes, giving the yacht a clear identity while keeping the styling grounded and practical.
How the Pearl 63’s design supports open-air living
Dixon’s exterior design presents a balanced tri-deck profile with clear access around the yacht. The aft cockpit forms a key part of the 63’s appeal, arranged as a versatile waterside space with opening balconies and adaptable tables suited to relaxed time at anchor or more structured dining.
The flybridge of the yacht holds seating, a wet bar, and a helm position with clean sightlines. Forward, the bow has been shaped as a usable daytime area. The tender garage is designed around a Williams MiniJet, giving owners flexibility for short trips ashore.
Four-cabin layout
The Pearl 63 carries accommodation for eight guests across four cabins. The owner’s suite benefits from the full beam and a layout that keeps noise and movement from other areas of the yacht at a distance. The forward VIP has broad headroom and glazing that brings light into the space. Two additional guest cabins support family cruising or mixed groups.
Crew accommodation sits aft, arranged to keep service routes away from guest areas when running with a professional crew.
The model runs on Volvo IPS propulsion, supporting predictable behavior at cruise and reliable response during docking. Joystick control helps owner-operators who want precise maneuvering in marinas. The propulsion system also delivers consistent noise and vibration levels on longer passages, which aligns with the yacht’s focus on extended use.
Recognition in the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame
The YachtBuyer Hall of Fame was created to highlight production yachts that perform at the highest standard under real testing conditions. Every entry is based on full sea trials, detailed scoring, and independent assessment across six core categories that cover handling, build quality, accommodation, helm design, deck usability, and value. Only yachts that achieve a flawless 5 Star score become eligible, making the Hall of Fame a selective record of models that have proved their capability on the water rather than through marketing claims or nominations.
The Pearl 63 earned its place after meeting this threshold during its full review and video trial. Its updated deck layout, expanded garage, fold-down balconies, and well-developed interior plan all contributed to strong scores, while the IPS drivetrain and balanced hull gave it steady, predictable performance underway. These strengths placed it among the few models to reach top marks, securing its induction at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival and positioning it as one of the standout yachts tested this year.
