About Pearl Yachts

Premium production

British boutique builder of flybridge and raised-pilothouse motor yachts since 1998 — the Pearl 63, 73 and 82 and the 30-metre Pearl 100 Hybrid — with exteriors and naval architecture by Bill Dixon, interiors by Kelly Hoppen CBE and a five-year warranty.

Pearl was first conceived in 1998, when Iain Smallridge, an experienced captain, and John Yarnold, a local businessman, began building 41- and 45-foot aft-cabin yachts in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's hometown, setting out to compete with the best yacht builders in the world. In 2003 Margaret and Tony Whittaker, entrepreneurs and yachting enthusiasts, invested in the brand with a vision of sleek, stylish flybridge yachts that would catch the eye of buyers in the Mediterranean and beyond. Paul Hannah was appointed production director and the new range became reality, beginning with the Pearl 55, which premiered at the Southampton Boat Show in 2004, and continuing with the Pearl 60. The exteriors came to be drawn by the naval architect Bill Dixon and the interiors by Kelly Hoppen CBE. Over 25 years, the page says, Pearl has built and delivered more than a hundred yachts and earned a reputation for producing a low volume of high-quality yachts; it is signed by Margaret Whittaker OBE, owner, and Iain Smallridge, managing director of Pearl Yachts Ltd.
