As we stepped inside the Pearl 82 through the large glass doors at the stern, we were immediately struck by the sense of space and light that defines the interior. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the saloon with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding environment. The cut-outs in the bulwarks further enhance this open feel, bringing the outdoors in.
The saloon itself offers a serene retreat, with soft, comfortable sofas and a well-positioned television. A large dining area, which seats up to 10 guests, sits adjacent to a beautiful bar that perfectly complements the space. The galley, located on the port side, is conveniently placed for entertaining, while the starboard side leads to the suites and the raised pilot house.
The master suite, located on the main deck, is the true gem of the Pearl 82’s interior. This luxurious space offers sweeping panoramic views and direct access to the private terrace at the forepeak. Inside, the suite features a king-sized bed, stylish furnishings, ample storage, and a walk-in closet, creating a space that feels both refined and inviting.
Below deck, four more staterooms await—two twin and two double cabins. Each is thoughtfully designed, offering the same level of comfort and elegance as the master suite. Importantly, these staterooms are insulated from the engine room by the crew cabins, ensuring a peaceful and quiet retreat for guests.
For the Pearl 82, Kelly Hoppen CBE, the British designer behind the yacht’s interior, has curated three distinct styles for owners to choose from: Indulgence, Luxury, and Modern.
Commenting on her inspiration for the 82, Hoppen says: ‘There’s a unique moment when you step aboard a yacht, an anticipation of how it will make you feel. My goal was to create a space that could exist anywhere—in New York, Paris, or London—while giving you the sensation of floating. We used exquisite materials, with intricate joinery and detailing, all set in an open plan with expansive windows that make you feel immersed in the sea rather than enclosed inside the yacht.’
