Pearl 72 Review (2022 Edition)

Following the immense success of the Pearl 62, can the striking 72 follow suit? It's full of clever ideas, as we discovered during our exclusive sea trial

The Bill Dixon/Kelly Hoppen partnership returns with Pearl's all-new 72. It's a four-stateroom design with what Pearl describes as two owner's suites - one right forward in the bow with private access and the other in its traditional amidships location.

The other part of this complex lower deck puzzle is the inclusion of a tender garage with space for a tender, jet-ski and Seabob and a two-person crew space. Engine options are from MAN and MTU, the 1,600hp MTUs good for 32 knots flat out and a 250nm cruising range at 25 knots. Tongues were wagging after the 72 was unveiled at the 2022 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show but does the 72 live up to expectations? Read on to find out.

Our Scores Explained

Around the Marina

Those meaty MTUs may provide awesome power out at sea but their low-speed grunt also makes negotiating marinas pretty straightforward. An Aventics joystick is an option that our test boat didn't have but the tactile ZF throttles snick in and out of gear with ease and the boat responds with a positive shove in either direction. Around the marina you can leave the wheel alone and just manoeuvre the boat on the throttles, such is the level of shove from the propellers. 

Our test boat was fitted with the standard thrusters but it's well worth upgrading to the (£13,920) hydraulic bow and stern thrusters which provide proportional thrust, won't fade under heavy load and have a hold mode to pin the boat against the dock. 

You can't see the bathing platform from either helm but a suite of cameras provide a view of all sides of the boat via the MFDs. If stern-to mooring is going to be the norm then shelling out £7,230 for the third docking station in the cockpit is well worth it. Here you get engine start/stop, another pair of throttles and bow and stern thruster controls so you can handle the boat from within the cockpit. It's not only in the Med where this position can be useful, but the berth we had on the test day also was tight and I felt most comfortable helming from the cockpit to give me the best sight lines aft and it worked brilliantly. 

The joystick is a £23,870 option but, if you're used to handling a boat with throttles and thrusters, it's an outlay that can be avoided given how docile the 72 is at slow speed.

At 2,000rpm and around 80% engine load the 72 is in its stride. The big MTUs feel like they're hardly working but this 50-tonne flybridge is purring along at 25 knots for a range of 247nm (with 10% in reserve). The performance is effortless all the way up to a top speed of 33 knots, which is up there with the best-performing boats in this class. The MTUs are a £54,100 upgrade over the standard 1,400hp MAN V8s, which is no small change, but they suit the boat well and are proven to be reliable.  

With a 4,340-litre fuel tank that is integrated into the hull, the 72's capacity is a little down on its rivals so its slow-speed range isn't quite as good as the Princess Y72 or Azimut 72. Still, at 10 knots you'll get around 600nm out of it and even at top speed you're looking at well over 200nm with a 10% reserve.

This may have been a quirk of our test boat, which was hull number one and still had some small issues to be addressed, but the MTUs were quite noisy at idle. Up at speed, they melted away to a perfectly respectable level, even when driving from the lower helm, but they were notably throaty in and out of gear.

Conditions were kind during our test in the Solent so the only real challenge the hull faced was crossing our own wash, which the 72 did with consummate ease.  As the tide pushed around The Needles a bit of swell kicked up but there was nothing to wrong foot Bill Dixon's solid feeling hull. 

Mounting the engines further back in the boat on V-drives is what allows the extraordinary use of space on board but even with the 4.5-tonne engine weight distributed further back in the boat the 72's running attitude stays level at speed. No doubt the Humphree active interceptors, which work constantly to adjust the boat's trim according to speed and conditions, have a hand in this but the boat's natural balance feels on the money. 

The steering isn't quite as engaging as the Princess Y72's, which is the best handling boat in the class, but it's very good for such a big, heavy craft. The 72 tracks neatly on passage but if you do need to hand steer it's quick to respond to the helm and has a healthy amount of heel. The turning circle is pretty neat, too. It's a very enjoyable boat to drive at speed and has greater agility and more poise than you might expect of a boat of this type.

Design & Build

Pearl's partnership with British designer Bill Dixon continues with the 72 and the shipyard ensured he had his work cut out with this brief. The desire to incorporate two master cabins (as Pearl describes them) and a garage large enough to carry a jet-ski, tender and Seabob side-by-side was made clear from the off so the packaging of this 21.99m (72ft 2in) yacht had to be as tight as a drum.

Dixon has risen to the challenge and managed to include two double staterooms with a further double and a twin plus the requisite tender space without any of these areas feeling compromised. The crew accommodation suffers slightly compared to some rivals but given many of these yachts will be owner-run that is a trade-off that most will accept. 

To include all of this and still keep the proportions in check is an absolute triumph. The latest generation of Pearls are really good-looking boats, characterised by the slashes of glazing that tear through the topsides and superstructure. The 72 is modern yet elegant and retains the typical Pearl styling cues such as the slender elliptical windows in the saloon and the extended windscreen which draws a huge amount of light into the boat's interior. 

Inside Line

Interior designer Kelly Hoppen has been working with Pearl for years and her style lends the Pearl range a unique look and feel. For the 72 she developed a new theme dubbed 'Indulgence', which has a darker more masculine palette and offers a refreshing contrast to the walnuts and oaks that we see elsewhere in the market. It won't be for everyone and it's a £30,000 option, so it was a good call to have the 'Modern' and 'Luxury' themes on the options list for those who want something more traditional. 

The 72 uses a hand-laid hull construction and isn't built using vacuum infusion like the majority of its rivals. It's a sold-feeling boat out on the water and the quality of the engineering appears to be very good indeed. The engine room is slightly compromised by the presence of the tender garage moulding but it's still a very easy space to work in, even with the massive MTU 10Vs gobbling up so much room. 

Access for day-to-day checks is perfectly good and important components like the generators on either side of the space and the optional Seakeeper 18 gyro, which is mounted aft between the engines, are easy to inspect. 

Interior Accommodation

If the usual offerings of walnut or oak in various states of gloss don't float your boat then the Pearl 72's 'Indulgence' interior will be a welcome tonic. It feels completely different to pretty much anything else this boat's rivals can muster and is one of the few interiors that offers up the New York loft apartment cliché (sorry Kelly) and actually delivers on it. It doesn't feel like a boat interior, but whether that's a good or bad thing will depend on individual taste. 

In terms of layout, it shuns the ubiquitous galley-aft arrangement for an amidships location, leaving a stylish lounge area aft that has a fantastic view out of deck-level windows that sit inboard of glass gunwales. There isn't a pop-up television but a fixed one inside an elegant wooden frame that also disguises useful eye-level cupboards and the boat's switch panel.

In fact, most of the practical stuff is neatly disguised, especially in the galley where the dishwasher, cupboards and fridge/freezer are hidden behind fascias. If you like the modern, clean look then this is the boat for you. The only downside is that the fridge/freezer unit is on the opposite side of the salon to the galley. There are too many sharp corners about the place for my liking, too.  

The dinette is forward, opposite, and sits beneath the extended windscreen, a Pearl trademark that deluges the space in natural light. With an interior this dark it makes a huge difference. 

On the lower deck, things get really clever. The guest accommodation is accessed via a dedicated staircase amidships in the salon and it leads to a pair of double cabins and a twin, all of which are ensuite. Amidships is the VIP stateroom (or 'second master' if you're Pearl), a full-beam cabin that stretches across the 72's 5.75m (18ft 10in) beam and gets a generous ensuite to port and a handsome bureau to starboard. It is a lovely space and is separated from the engine room by the crew quarters it should be well insulated from any engine room din, too. 

Across the lobby are two further cabins, a decent double with an athwartships bed, ensuite and bureau and a twin whose ensuite is also the day head. The lobby area is quite tight but considering the quality of the accommodation here there are very few compromises. 

What about the owner? Their cabin has its own access adjacent to the lower helm and it's quite something. The bed is against the aft bulkhead with a breakfast dinette tucked in the point of the bow, flanked by handy cupboard storage. On this boat's rivals, such as the Princess Y72, the owner's cabin is amidships so the ensuite can run behind it making the most of the boat's beam. That's not the case on the Pearl, but even though the ensuite is in the corner of the cabin it's still a good size and, like the rest of this space, dripping with style. The addition of some eye-level windows is a nice touch as well, they bring more light in and provide a view out as you move around the cabin.

The other clever aspect of the configuration of the accommodation is the flexibility of the spaces. For example, if the owner and their family are on board with guests then they can take over the accommodation in the middle of the boat leaving guests to enjoy the privacy of the owner's suite. Alternatively, the owner has a private space forward if they have guests on board with their kids. 

Helm Station

The lower helm seats have been raised since I first saw the boat at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show and they're all the better for it. The seated view for someone of 6ft is good and with the sliding adjustment on the seats and bolster sections it's easy to get comfortable whether you want to sit or stand. The wheel is sited centrally, which means the navigator is trapped in by the skipper, but it also reduces the blind spot created by the starboard windscreen mullion.

It's a well-organised and stylish dashboard with the bulk of information displayed through a pair of flush-mounted Garmin MFDs. There's no criticising MTU's engines but its info screens with their thick plastic surround and chunky buttons look like relics of the 1980s compared to the hardware that other manufacturers are producing these days. It's a brilliantly light area though, thanks to both the extended windscreen and the side door, which is also helpful when it comes to communication and help with crewing. 

The layout of the dash upstairs is slightly better than below because everything is angled more towards the helm seats and is easier to read. As with the lower helm, there are two MFDs at the top of the dash and a pair of stylish seats that allow the occupants to adjust their position individually. It's good to see the ZF throttles mounted on a plinth so they fall more easily to hand. Both helms lack device charging; neither has an induction charger or even some USB sockets to charge smartphones or tablets, which is an odd omission these days. 

The flybridge helm is on the opposite side of the deck to the companionway hatch so it's hard to see the aft end of the boat from behind the wheel. Thankfully, as well as a suite of cameras that show all sides of the boat, there is a third control station in the cockpit, where it couldn't easier to keep a close eye on the boat's proximity to the quayside when stern-to berthing. A joystick that combines the shafts and thrusters is a £22,000 option but for most, the bow and stern thrusters and throttles will offer good enough control at slow speeds, though it's definitely worth upgrading to the proportional thrusters fore and aft. 

Deck lifestyle

It's not just inside the boat where the use of space is impressive. The platforms that fold down to water level on either side of the bathing platform are a great example of manufacturing usable space where there wouldn't ordinarily be any. The only thing they're missing is some pop-up cleats so they can be used to tie off water toys and keep them clear of the main platform.

They connect with the main platform, which will always be clear of obstructions because the water toys stow inside the tender garage. Drop the platform, flip down the bench built into the garage hatch and, even though it can't reasonably be termed a beach club, you have a great place to relax if people are enjoying the water. 

The cockpit features a wrap of seating and a split table system. The two tables remain separate so it's easy to move in and out if guests are lounging or having a drink but, if you want to dine in this area, the tables open up to meet in the middle and create a full-width dining table. There is a bar tucked up against the cockpit doors, too, which is handy given the galley isn't immediately inside the salon.

The side decks are deep and safe and have built-in side gates on both sides so it's easy to hop on and off at a fuel dock, for example. Instead of LED lights dotted along at deck level, the 72 has an unbroken strip light that runs down both side decks and meets at the bow. It's not something I've seen before but it's a really smart solution and will look fantastic in the dark, no doubt. 

The foredeck is well-designed, too. It has the familiar sofa and sun pads setup with a passageway that links the side decks but it has a much larger table than you would normally find and it drops down on telescopic legs to either adjust the height or drop right down to create extra sunbathing space. Elsewhere there are pop-up lights, cup holders and a pair of really useful lockers on either side of the sofa that are the perfect size to swallow lines and covers. 

Flying High

The flybridge feels big for a boat this large. It extends a long way back over the cockpit and the neatly integrated hard top adds a sense of security as well as the obvious protection benefits. There is the option to have a fixed hard top, one with a canvas sunroof or the vane and tilt roof that the test boat had. I don't usually like these slatted roofs but this is the first one I've seen that opens fully as well as tilts and leaves a wind deflector at the forward end. It's a best-of-both-worlds solution but, as a £93,000 option, you certainly pay for the privilege. 

Aft there is clear space which can be filled with sleek free-standing furniture to create an appealing sundowner spot, the see-through coaming ensuring there's still a clear view out of the water. The double sun pad butts up to the starboard side of the deck and it can be shaded by a pop-out canopy that comes out from the hard top moulding. The sun pad lifts to reveal a really useful storage bin large enough to swallow all of the covers for the flybridge furniture. 

Amidships, beneath the cover of the hard top, a large dinette sits opposite an L-shaped wet bar with the usual suite of appliances for cooking, cleaning and cooling. Small details stand out like having both an under counter and top-loading fridge and the way the BBQ links to the sink so all the grime can easily be swept away when cleaning. 

Opposite the helm, there is a versatile little seating area with a small table that can be used either as a spot to enjoy the ride when the boat is on passage, a drinks area or, with the help of the hi-lo table and some in-fill cushions another sun pad. The clever design just keeps on coming. 

Value For Money

The base price for the 72 (at the time of publishing) with twin MAN 1,400hp engines is £2.43 million ex VAT. Pearl generally aims to undercut its European rivals by 20-25%, something it can do by designing the boats in the UK with parts sourced across the UK, EU and USA and assembling them in China. 

 As a general rule, Pearl's tend to be good value for money compared to their closest rivals with no apparent compromises regarding engineering or quality. The boats use the same engines, machinery, electronics and other components as their competitors and Pearl has built enough boats to know how to put them together properly. And in terms of design, will Bill Dixon on board, Pearl is right up there with the very best. 

Our Options & Pick 

Our heavily optioned test boat came in at £3.73 million ex VAT (at the time of publishing). What options you choose will depend on budget and how the boat is going to be used but there are a few that I think are with particular consideration. The MTU 1,600hp engines are £55,000 upgrade but their easy power and flexible cruising band make a big difference, especially on a boat loaded with toys and cruising gear. I wouldn't usually plump for the tilt/vane hard top but, even though it's nearly £100k, the fact that it opens fully really adds to its usefulness so it probably is the one to have.

The folding side platforms are £40,000 but they're a useful addition if you like your water toys and will spend a lot of time at the waterline. The Modern interior decor, which uses lighter woods, is a non-cost option and you'll pay £30,000 for either the darker wood Luxury interior or the signature Kelly Hoppen that you see in these photos. It won't be to all taste but for its individuality alone it's a tempting prospect and some will just fall for its anti-boat style. 

Items like the passerelle (£28,000) and air-con (£42,000 for Med spec, £50,000 for tropical) may come into the equation depending on where the boat will be berthed but if you plan to spend any real time on anchor the £130,000 Seakeeper SK18 could be a game changer and it will have some effect during slow speed cruising, too. 

Pearl is well aware that it has to do things differently to tempt buyers away from the more mainstream brands and it embraces this challenge. The 72 is a clear product of this mentality and there is ambition all over this boat, from the tender garage to the thought that's gone into the deck spaces and, of course, the layout and decor of the interior. It never feels like things are being done for the sake of it, however, and the design decisions add so much to the way this boat comes together as a whole and, most importantly, improves life on board for those who own and live on board it. There are compromises here and there but considering what good value the 72 represents, these are easier to accept. This is all well and good but it's worthless if the boat doesn't perform on the water but that is not an issue that haunts the 72. It's a delight to drive at low and high speeds and a level performance that suits whatever speed you want to cruise at. Is this the best boat Pearl has ever made? It might well be. 

Reasons to Buy

• Brilliant packaging
• Big tender garage
• Characterful interior
• Value for money
• Handling & performance

Things to Consider

• Engine room and crew space are a little cramped
• Subjective 'Indulgence' interior decor
• Sharp edges in the interior

This is one of the most competitive sectors so there is no shortage of talent for the Pearl 72 to come up against. Here is a selection of its closest rivals.

The Princess Y72 is one of the best boats the Plymouth-based shipyard builds. It looks great, has a brilliant balance of deck space and interior volume, is beautifully put together and nearly cracks 35 knots flat out. The Princess and Pearl share similar engine options and tank capacity so their performance is likely to be pretty similar. On board, there isn't a tender garage but it does have larger and more comfortable crew accommodation than the Pearl. The Y72's guest accommodation comprises two doubles and two twins, but the twin beds do have the option to slide together to create double beds when required. The design is safer than the Pearl's and it costs a bit more money but in this sector, it is the one to beat. 

Rounding off the British rivals are the Sunseeker Manhattan 68 and Fairline Squadron 68 , both of which are slightly smaller than the Pearl but would no doubt be in the conversation for anyone looking to buy a flybridge of this size. Neither boasts the space on the lower deck of the Pearl and they don't have tender garage options but the Fairline has a very flexible layout with the choice of three cabins and a day head, the same arrangement with a utility room or a four-cabin option. Interestingly, the Sunseeker, which runs on Volvo Penta IPS1350, has a lower deck galley option as well as the standard galley-up arrangement. 

One boat that can certainly keep up with the Pearl in the style stakes is the Azimut 72 . It isn't the latest generation of Azimut flybridge so it doesn't have the Alberto Mancini/Achille Salvagni design combination. It is a great-looking boat with a similar penchant to the Pearl for mirrored glass, though its deck spaces - especially the flybridge - aren't as expansive. It does, however, have both the amidships galley arrangement and three doubles and a twin on the lower deck like the Pearl. The cabin spaces aren't quite as roomy but then because there is no tender garage it does have a more spacious crew area. It shares the MAN V12 1,400hp engine option with the Pearl and will perform almost identically, though with a 1,000-litre greater fuel capacity its slow speed range will be superior.

Meet the Pearl Yachts 62

• By Patrick Sciacca
• Updated: June 30, 2020

I stared at the Pearl 62′s image above, switching back and forth between placing my thumb over the flybridge and then removing it. The exercise, to my eye, displays lines that appear inspired by an express cruiser—but with the added function of a flybridge. That flybridge does not distract from her sporty look and instead flows with the yacht’s superstructure.

Bill Dixon, who also penned the builder’s 80- and 95-footers, did the exterior design and naval architecture on the Pearl 62. Dixon drew motion into the yacht’s profile via the raked window forward, the curved glass reaching aft in the superstructure and the fiberglass line between the panes flanking the salon. That line rises up and aft, similar to the look of a wake breaking behind the transom. The flybridge hardtop’s supports lean forward, contrasting the sweptback look and adding sleekness to the yacht’s appearance. Hullside glass extends the profile visually, while adding light and views in the four-stateroom, three-head layout belowdecks.

There is a full-beam master stateroom amidships with an en suite head, two chairs and a table to starboard, and a private entrance from the salon. This stateroom’s volume is possible because the yacht’s Volvo Penta IPS diesels are farther aft than straight-shaft powerplants, increasing living space. There is a forepeak VIP with an en suite head. Abaft to port and starboard are guest staterooms with double berths.

The flybridge has a helm console to starboard with a sun pad to port. There is U-shaped seating abaft the sun pad, and two L-shaped seats are far aft.

Power options are IPS950s (725 hp), IPS1050s (800 hp) and IPS1200s (900 hp). Preliminary sea trials showed a reported top hop of 32 knots.

The Pearl Yachts 62 might be the builder’s smallest model, but it has all the function and flair of her bigger siblings.

5 reasons to buy the new Pearl 95

Award winning design.

Impeccably finished and in turnkey condition, the  Pearl 95  is now offered for sale with Pearl Yachts. After debuting at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2018, this hull is available for immediate delivery – just in time for the Mediterranean season. Step on board this one-of-a-kind superyacht and discover why she could be the perfect vessel for you…

The flagship 95 series takes the sporty ethos embedded in  Pearl Yachts culture into a semi-raised pilothouse design, with an exterior by Dixon Yacht Design and interiors by celebrated British designer Kelly Hoppen . The pairing continues a long-standing collaboration between the two who previously worked on the Pearl 65, Pearl 75 and Pearl 80.

Designed to blur the boundaries between boat, sea and sky, glass features heavily throughout the yacht. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors allow incredible views of the seascape in every direction, while clever touches such as glossy surfaces and white marble help reflect the light to create a bright and spacious-feeling interior.

Vast outdoor areas

Perfect for an owner in search of sunnier climes, the Pearl 95 boasts vast and well-appointed exterior decks. Lazy afternoons are best spent up on the flybridge where guests can sprawl across sunpads, sip on cocktails at the bar or slip into an inviting Jacuzzi. A lounge and dining area sit centrally, sheltered by a retractable sunroof, meaning you can enjoy laidback lunches or morning coffees up on the flybridge whatever the weather. Plus, a large window in the overhang allows light to the aft deck dining area below where dinners are served al fresco.

The foredeck sun lounge is a haven for sun-worshippers with two large double sunpads and an awning system for when it gets a little too hot. And to the stern, a Jet Ski and tender garage transforms into a beach club complete with a bar and shower, with a hydraulically operated bathing platform providing easy access to the sea. Set up a couple of sun loungers and you have the perfect sunbathing spot right on the water's edge.

Impeccable interiors

Plush, bespoke interiors by Kelly Hoppen are designed to maximise natural light. The main saloon features floor-to-ceiling sliding doors on each side creating a bright and airy space, with white lacquered ceilings grounded by chocolate brown hardwood floors, and marble and chrome accents that continue throughout. There’s a large sofa and a dining table that seats up to eight guests, with an aft sliding door creating one enormous indoor/outdoor space - perfect for entertaining.

The Pearl 95 can sleep up to 10 guests in five en suite cabins comprising two doubles, two twins, and an impressive full-beam master suite on the main deck with a walk-in wardrobe and incredible sea views thanks to her large forward windows. Additional accommodation towards the bow sleeps five crewmembers, with discreet access from the side deck.

Outstanding performance

Not only is she stylish, she’s fast too. The Pearl 95 has a top speed of 28 knots with a cruising range of 380 nautical miles. Power comes from upgraded twin MTU 16V200M96 2400hp diesel engines with only 100 hours on the clock, while a deep V hull provides exceptional comfort and seakeeping underway.

Five years warranty

Most warranties on boats run for two years. However, Pearl Yachts is offering a comprehensive five-year warranty designed to safeguard your investment and give new owners total peace of mind, as well as great value for money, so you can sail her away with confidence.

Currently lying in Mallorca,  Pearl 95 is asking €6,137,000 with Pearl Yachts.

Jefferies CEO Rich Handler cashes in more than $65M in stock to buy yacht

Rich Handler recently offloaded a boatload of Jefferies Financial Group stock.

The investment bank on Wednesday disclosed the transaction in both a press release and Securities and Exchange Commission filing, saying its CEO had done so "to facilitate the purchase of a personal boat and to pay tax obligations."

The sale involved 1.5 million shares and equated to $65.25 million, according to Jefferies.

Handler said in a statement that he "do[es] not intend to sell any further shares." Jefferies shares have posted more than a 41% increase in the past year.

Handler’s stake in the investment bank became roughly 19.25 million shares "on a fully diluted basis" post-transaction, according to Jefferies.

READ ON THE FOX BUSINESS APP

"I remain extremely bullish on Jefferies and fully committed to helping us continue to build the best independent, global and full-service investment banking firm," the CEO said. 

Handler explained the offloading of shares as a "gift to myself and my family."

The only reasons Handler has ever offloaded Jefferies stock in the past were taxes and philanthropy, according to the investment bank.

Handler is acquiring a 164-foot yacht built by Westport that belongs to billionaire and Fertitta Entertainment owner Tilman Fertitta, the Financial Times reported .

Fertitta also owns a larger, 252-foot yacht that boasts a pool and helipad, according to Boat International. That newer vessel reportedly came from Feadship.

"Haha! Maybe the best advertising for @jefferies is that our customers sell us their ‘ smaller boats ’ after they can easily upgrade! @TilmanJFertitta!" Handler wrote in a Thursday tweet that included an image of the book "Where Are the Customers’ Yachts? Or A Good Hard Look at Wall Street" by Fred Schwed Jr.

More than 10,800 yachts currently exist, according to the Superyacht Times.
