Imagine cruising through deep ocean waters, surrounded by the crisp sea breeze, or hosting an exclusive soirée docked at Dubai Marina. The Pearl 82 offers both of these experiences, making it a standout choice for yacht enthusiasts.
This sophisticated vessel comes with an array of luxury features, including multiple balconies, five spacious cabins, a hot tub, and a tender garage large enough to accommodate a RIB and a jet ski. Often dubbed a “scaled-down superyacht,” the Pearl 82 deserves a closer look.
Pricing
The Pearl 82 starts at approximately $5 million (excluding VAT) for the base model with the most powerful 2,000 hp engines. A mid-range configuration, complete with a passerelle, air conditioning, and essential extras, can reach around $7 million. For precise pricing details, it’s best to consult with representatives directly.
### Performance & Handling
Measuring 25.3 meters in length with a 6.34-meter beam, the Pearl 82 is an agile powerhouse despite its 78.4-tonne weight. With twin 2,000 hp MAN V12 engines, it easily reaches 20 knots at just 2,000 rpm and can top out at around 33 knots. Even at a steady 25 knots, the fuel consumption remains efficient at approximately 700 liters per hour. However, most cruising occurs at a comfortable 10-12 knots, enhanced by Sleipner fin stabilizers for a smoother ride.
The helm station is exceptionally well-designed, offering a double bench for company, a high windscreen for protection, and easy-to-reach thrusters and throttles. Two large Garmin screens provide clear navigation and engine data, ensuring effortless control. The seamless connection between the flybridge and lower helm adds to the yacht’s ease of operation.
Flybridge Features
The flybridge enhances the superyacht feel with optional luxury touches, such as a hot tub. A built-in sunshade and standard hardtop provide comfort, while the sunroof’s tilt vanes allow adjustable lighting. The flybridge also features a cooking area, storage, and a dining section with a retractable TV available for entertainment. The seamless accessibility to the cockpit, raised pilot house, and side deck enhances functionality, while Pearl’s signature extended windscreen floods the space with natural light.
The foredeck, located above the owner’s cabin, provides a broad, split-layout space with a dining area featuring a convertible table and a sunbathing section with pop-up backrests, cup holders, and optional canopy slots for shade.
Deck & Outdoor Amenities
At the waterline, a hydraulic bathing platform leads to the spacious tender garage, which comfortably fits a Williams SportJet 395 and a Sea-Doo Spark jet ski, with a sunpad above for relaxation. Optional balconies offer an additional space to unwind, adding to the yacht’s luxurious appeal.
The cockpit layout is thoughtfully designed, with a dedicated starboard walkway for guests and a port-side crew passage that connects to the galley. Owners can choose between the “Riviera” layout, featuring a large sunpad and split tables that can be combined for dining, or the “Terrace” layout, which includes benches, a center table, and a glass transom—ideal for alfresco dining. A spacious servery and top-loading cooler add convenience to outdoor entertaining.
Interior & Living Spaces
Step into the saloon through elegant sliding doors, where the interior, designed by Kelly Hoppen, creates a modern yet inviting atmosphere. Large windows flood the space with natural light, amplified by a mirrored ceiling. The aft seating area includes plush sofas and armchairs, complemented by a large TV and a stunning Minotti dining table.
The starboard-side passage leads to the owner’s suite, while the port-side crew door provides access to the functional yet discreet galley, equipped with a large cooktop and hidden refrigeration.
Owner’s Suite
The owner’s stateroom is nothing short of spectacular, offering impressive lighting, ample headroom, and a luxurious flat-floor design with elegant underlighting. The en-suite bathroom adds to the indulgence, while direct access to a private terrace enhances the experience. When the yacht is stationary, stepping out of bed to enjoy a morning coffee on the terrace becomes a reality.
### Guest Accommodation
The lower deck features four guest cabins. The lobby area includes ample storage, signature Kelly Hoppen design touches, and a conveniently located washer/dryer setup. The two twin cabins have single beds that can electronically merge into a double, along with an additional Pullman berth. Both cabins have private en-suite bathrooms. Midship, two identical VIP suites offer a dark yet inviting décor with well-placed underlighting and en-suite bathrooms with separate shower cubicles.
Final Verdict
In the mini superyacht category, few rivals can match the Pearl 82’s blend of style, performance, and luxury. While the Azimut Grande 26M offers a raised pilot house and main deck master, the Riva 82’ Diva includes balconies, and the Galeon 800 Fly boasts a tender garage, none integrate these features as seamlessly as the Pearl 82.
With an expansive flybridge, sophisticated design, and a comprehensive five-year warranty, the Pearl 82 is more than just a yacht—it’s a floating luxury experience that balances indulgence with investment appeal.
