At the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, the shipyard confirmed the model as the first Pearl with standard hybrid propulsion, offering silent cruising, lower emissions, and greater efficiency - an approach that may set new standards for vessels in the 30-meter class.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor living is central to the model's design. On board the yacht, the Riviera-style aft cockpit is furnished with folding balconies and generous seating, while the foredeck lounge creates another large entertaining zone with adaptable seating and sunpads.
The extended flybridge forms the social centerpiece of the motor yacht, equipped with a wellness space, Jacuzzi, dining table, bar, and loungers beneath a hardtop with a tilt-and-slide sunroof. Direct access connects the flybridge and foredeck, encouraging easy circulation across exterior areas.
Design Collaboration
The superyacht continues the long-running partnership between Dixon Yacht Design and Kelly Hoppen Interiors. Bill Dixon has shaped the exterior and naval architecture, introducing a profile that balances performance efficiency with a superyacht presence.
“The Pearl 100 is the culmination of over two decades of close collaboration,” Dixon explained at the unveiling. “With hybrid drive technology, we’ve pushed boundaries in performance, sustainability, and onboard comfort.”
Indulgence, Modern and Monochrome.
Interior Layout
Hoppen’s interiors are presented through three design moods: Indulgence, Modern, and Monochrome which each emphasize balance and clarity. The interior layout includes a main deck owner’s suite with direct access to a private forepeak terrace, a second full-beam master suite midship on the lower deck, and three further en-suite guest cabins.
A sanctuary of sophisticated luxury.

Kelly Hoppen Interiors
Hoppen described her approach as “a sanctuary of sophisticated luxury”, built on the interplay of monochrome tones, soft curves, and polished metal accents. Attention to texture and natural materials has been used to create a tactile connection to the sea, while concealed storage and modular furnishings ensure functionality. Art curation is part of the concept, further shaping the yacht’s distinct atmosphere.
Technical Advances
At the core of the Pearl 100 is its hybrid propulsion system. The yacht is powered by twin MAN V12 2000hp engines, paired with e-Motion permanent magnet electric motors. This combination allows for multiple operating modes, including silent, zero-emission cruising and low-speed electric maneuvering.
The hybrid system can power all onboard services overnight without the need for diesel generators, allowing quieter anchoring with lower emissions. Under diesel propulsion, the Pearl 100 reaches a top speed of 24 knots and cruises comfortably at 20 knots.
Fleet Context
The Pearl 100 joins a line that includes the Pearl 63, Pearl 72, Pearl 82, and Pearl 95, expanding the yard’s reach in the 30-meter bracket. By making hybrid propulsion standard, Pearl positions itself among the builders actively pushing sustainable environmental technologies into mainstream production, directon that may influence how the 30-meter sector develops in the coming years.
