The British brand premiered its Dixon-designed 100 Hybrid at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Pearl Yachts staged the much-anticipated world premiere of its 100 Hybrid at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026, where the builder’s new flagship was also a finalist in the Best of Show awards.
“A special thank you to all our guests, partners and everyone who joined us at FLIBS to celebrate this exciting milestone,” Pearl Yachts stated.
“Being named a Best of Show 2026 finalist highlights the industry’s recognition of the Pearl 100 Hybrid’s pioneering approach to luxury, innovation and sustainability. From her striking exterior lines to her sophisticated hybrid propulsion system, the Pearl 100 Hybrid is redefining expectations in the 30m segment.”
The 100 Hybrid is the largest Pearl to date and the brand’s first model to feature hybrid propulsion. Its twin-shaft e-Motion hybrid system pairs two 2,000hp MAN V12 diesel engines with two radial-flux permanent-magnet electric motors.
The installation supports several operating modes including silent electric cruising and extended range. The associated Power Pack is also designed to support the yacht’s hotel loads without generator use.
Like other Pearl models (63, 73, 82), the Pearl 100 Hybrid features exterior styling, layout and naval architecture by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design and interiors by Kelly Hoppen.
The 30m motoryacht includes a raised pilothouse, while the flybridge includes a passage that links the extended flybridge directly with the foredeck. The aft cockpit can be expanded by fold-down terraces on both sides, while the garage has space for a Williams DieselJet 445 tender and Sea-Doo Spark jetski.
Hoppen’s new Monochrome interior design scheme features on the first Pearl 100 Hybrid, while owners can also choose from Indulgence, Luxury and Modern styles.
The five en-suite guest cabins include two principal suites. Forward on the main deck, the full-beam owner’s suite opens directly on to a private foredeck terrace, while the second full-beam suite is midships on the lower deck. A forward double suite and two twin cabins complete the guest accommodation, with separate quarters for four or five crew.
