About Pearl
Pearl was founded in the United Kingdom in 1998 and changed direction in the early 2000s, when new ownership refocused the company on a line of contemporary flybridge yachts. The brand has since kept its range deliberately compact, which lets each model receive considerable attention.
The yachts are built at a yard in Xiamen, China, and then shipped to the UK for final fitting out and commissioning. Buyers should understand that arrangement clearly: Pearl is a British-managed brand with a British design team, while hull construction and much of the build take place in Asia.
Design is at the center of Pearl's identity. Bill Dixon's hull and exterior work gives the yachts a composed, practical profile, and Kelly Hoppen's interiors bring a residential calm that sets them apart from many rivals of similar size. The largest models approach small-superyacht territory in feel, and the brand has built a loyal following among owners who value interiors as highly as performance.
Pearl yacht models
The current Pearl range consists of four flybridge models. Earlier yachts such as the Pearl 55, 65 and 75 appear on the pre-owned market as well.
- Pearl 62The entry to the current range, a flybridge yacht with notable interior volume for its length.
- Pearl 72A mid-size flybridge yacht that balances owner-operation with the option of a small crew.
- Pearl 82A raised-pilothouse design with a forward master suite and a private foredeck terrace for the owner.
- Pearl 95The flagship, a crewed flybridge yacht that brings the brand close to superyacht scale.
Pearl yachts for sale
Pearl yachts change hands both publicly and privately. There may be no Pearl in the current Reel Deal Yachts selection, but Daniel can search the wider market, including yachts that are not publicly listed.
Discuss a Pearl yacht →Buying a Pearl yacht
Because Pearl builds relatively few yachts, each example should be judged on its own history. A survey should cover the composite structure, running gear, stabilizers and systems carefully, and a buyer should ask about the commissioning work carried out after delivery and any warranty items that were resolved. Understanding who carried out subsequent servicing, and where, helps a buyer judge how the yacht has been supported since delivery.
Resale is shaped by a smaller, more specialist pool of buyers than the largest brands enjoy, so buying well at the outset matters. Daniel helps clients compare a Pearl with alternatives in the same size range, and his buying guide outlines the offer, survey and closing process.
Selling a Pearl yacht
With a boutique brand, comparable sales are fewer, so a credible valuation relies on careful adjustment for age, specification and condition. Daniel prepares a private valuation that explains the reasoning behind the figure rather than just the number.
Pearl's design credentials and interior quality are strong selling points, and they deserve good photography and a clear narrative. Daniel can market the yacht widely through cooperating brokers or approach a targeted list of buyers, using his presence in Miami and Europe.
Pearl new builds
New Pearl yachts are sold through the builder and its dealer network. Daniel can act independently for a client during that process, reviewing specification, build and commissioning timelines, and coordinating the sale of an existing yacht.
Because Pearl offers a focused range, choosing the right model and specification at the outset carries particular weight. Daniel helps a client think through crew, cruising grounds and long-term plans before the order is placed.
Why work with Daniel Grant
Daniel's approach suits a brand like Pearl, where each yacht has an individual story. He works personally with each owner, draws on Reel Deal Yachts' brokerage infrastructure, and connects sellers with qualified buyers across the United States and Europe.
For buyers, Daniel's independence is equally important. He can set a Pearl alongside comparable flybridge yachts from other builders and give a clear, unbiased view of how it measures up in build, layout and likely resale.
