The Pearl 82 has been honored with the prestigious Best Motor Yacht Under 25 Metres award at the International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2025. The ceremony was held on Friday, 6 June 2025, at the Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo, drawing leading figures from the yachting and aviation sectors.
Measuring 25 meters, the raised pilothouse yacht was designed by Dixon Yacht Design, with interiors crafted by Kelly Hoppen Interiors. It boasts five en-suite staterooms, including a main deck master suite, a spacious tender garage, and dedicated crew quarters. The vessel has attracted acclaim for its innovative layout, elegant design, and seamless balance between luxury and performance.
This latest accolade marks the third major award for the Pearl 82 since its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2024. Earlier, it won Best Layout in the 24m to 30m category at the World Yachts Trophies in September 2024, and secured first place in the Flybridges over 60ft category at the Motor Boat Awards 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this international recognition for the Pearl 82,” said Iain Smallridge, Managing Director of Pearl Yachts. “Securing three major awards in under a year highlights the strength of our product and the successful collaboration between our design partners and internal teams. It underscores our dedication to advancing yacht design in both aesthetics and functionality.”
Paul Hannah, Production Director at Pearl Yachts, emphasized the company’s focus on quality: “At Pearl, we produce a limited number of high-end yachts annually. This approach allows us to prioritize innovative design, optimise every inch of space, and maintain exceptional craftsmanship throughout our fleet. This recognition confirms the effectiveness of our strategy.”
