Pearl Yachts has announced the arrival of a new Pearl 82 motoryacht in Thailand, signifying the brand’s entry into the Southeast Asian yachting market. The flybridge motoryacht’s home port will be at the 450-berth Ocean Marina Jomtien, Southeast Asia’s largest marina.

Iain Smallridge, Pearl’s Managing Director, said: “The arrival of the first Pearl 82 in Thailand heralds a new era for our brand in Asia. It is a tangible testament to our vision of exporting boutique British craftsmanship and sophisticated design to a global stage. We are not merely selling yachts; we are offering a unique ownership experience.

“Our strategy is one of focused growth, maintaining our identity as a builder of a limited number of high-quality yachts, each one a masterpiece of innovation. Seeing a Pearl grace the world-class cruising grounds of Thailand is the perfect realisation of this vision.”

Designed by Bill Dixon with interiors styled by Kelly Hoppen CBE, the Pearl 82 has been described by the shipyard as the “most compact superyacht on the market” and can reach 32 knots with the standard option of twin 1,650hp MAN engines.

Unusually for a yacht of this size, the Pearl 82 boasts a main-deck master suite, which also has access to a private foredeck terrace. The lower deck includes four guest cabins and accommodation for three crew forward of the engine room.

Owners can choose from two aft cockpit layouts: Veranda, with two facing sofas arranged lengthways, or Riviera, with a large island sunpad and fold-down balconies on both sides.

The raised pilothouse model also features a flybridge featuring a sliding hardtop, C-shaped dinette for alfresco dining, wet bar, optional hot tub and sunpads. The Pearl 82 includes a garage that can carry a Williams SportJet 345 tender, Sea-Doo Spark jetski and Seabob.
