British shipyard Pearl Yachts has unveiled its most ambitious model to date, the Pearl 100 Hybrid. At 30 metres, the new flagship is not only the largest yacht in the Pearl fleet but also the first to feature hybrid propulsion — a milestone that signals the brand’s commitment to sustainable luxury.
The raised pilothouse superyacht combines silent, zero-emission cruising with the performance of twin MAN V12 2000hp engines, thanks to an advanced E-Motion diesel-electric system. Capable of reaching 24 knots, the Pearl 100 Hybrid offers multiple operating modes, from low-speed manoeuvring under electric power to extended displacement cruising with dramatically reduced fuel consumption. At anchor, the yacht can run overnight without generators, eliminating noise and emissions — a feature designed for owners who value peace as much as performance.
A New Benchmark in Comfort and Design
The Pearl 100 Hybrid has been created in collaboration with Dixon Yacht Design for naval architecture and Kelly Hoppen Interiors for styling, ensuring the brand’s signature blend of British engineering and timeless elegance. The yacht accommodates up to ten guests across five staterooms, including two full-beam master suites — one forward on the main deck with a private forepeak terrace, and another midships on the lower deck. A VIP double and two twin cabins complete the layout, while discreet crew quarters ensure smooth service on board.
Interior design reflects Kelly Hoppen’s clean-lined aesthetic, with owners able to select from three bespoke moods: Indulgence, Modern, and Monochrome. Expansive saloon windows and side-opening patio doors create a seamless connection to the sea, reinforcing the sense of space and natural light throughout.
Outdoor Living at Its Finest
The yacht’s exterior spaces are designed for effortless entertaining. A Riviera-style aft cockpit features folding balconies, lounge seating and sunpads, while the foredeck offers a second social hub with adaptable lounge and sunbathing areas. The extended flybridge is the star attraction, boasting a Technogym-equipped wellness zone, Jacuzzi, dining space, and a fully stocked wet bar beneath a sliding hardtop. Direct access between the flybridge and foredeck ensures fluid circulation across all exterior decks.
For watersports enthusiasts, a concealed garage houses a Williams Dieseljet 445 tender, Sea-Doo Spark, multiple SeaBobs and other toys, making the Pearl 100 as versatile as it is luxurious.
A Statement of Intent
“The Pearl 100 Hybrid marks a pivotal moment for us,” said Iain Smallridge, founder and managing director of Pearl Yachts. “As our first hybrid and our largest yacht to date, it embodies the future of yachting: elegant, efficient and sustainable. Owners can now cruise cleaner, quieter and further, without compromise.”
Backed by a five-year warranty and supported by Pearl’s renowned aftersales service, the new model underscores the brand’s confidence in its craftsmanship and engineering.
Founded in 1998, Pearl Yachts has built a reputation for combining voluminous interiors with refined detailing across its range of luxury motor yachts. With the launch of the Pearl 100 Hybrid, the Warwick-based yard not only expands its portfolio but also sets a clear course towards the future of responsible superyacht ownership.
