i try to avoid anything made in China, not because of quality anymore - just politics. It's hard to do this as many components are made there, but I avoid big things where I can. This is a big thing. Possibly planted with microphones too. :)
O look, a racist
nice vessel. very thorough presentation. i must say though, when I see a Hoppen designed interior I always feel I am seeing the apartment of a middle-aged professional woman. not a fan of her work for a yacht.
Been a massive fan of this boat for ages watched every walkthrough the design is amazing inside and out . but if i had the money i would be worried about buying a boat built in china no matter what the cost .
I agree with you - fortunatley there are the manufacturers - eg Bremont Watches, Hebtroco (jeans etc), Cox Powertrains (diesel outboards) and others who are continuing to manufacture in Britain....
You missed the galley!
Is there a galley on this boat? Did I miss something?
No galley then 🤨
Impressing design I must say. Fit and finish seem to be easily on pair with other more expensive builds.
It is a beautiful boat, its disappointing to see all the rubber hoses in that engine room. Yep they are cheaper than a princess X-Y 95 unfortunately its in the engine room.
So this was a complete tour of a £6M yacht without a galley - what a flake...
Has anyone ever worked out the purpose of filling every seat with scatter cushions... other than to annoy everyone who wants to sit down?
am i the only 1 who watches these at x2 speed...
Too bad she doesn't have a galley.
Unbeatable at the price, if you’re in the market for a boat like this.
Same layout as most boats this size, nothing different there then.
How China builds things i can't see this yacht lasting long 😂
When I hear made in China has me want to move on.
Epic tour Hugo 🙂🇬🇧
I’m not sure I have a clue what I think a boat made in China should look like, but this stands easily with any Scandinavian, European or American I’ve seen…….. if not better than some.
Those V16 MTU’s are pure porn……. no replacement for displacement 🥳
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Ian
Wonderful presentation and an exquisite boat. Thank you.
Owner Owner kapal Owner Owner Hotel....kalau mau kasih duit ke saya ke Angkatan laut ...kasih tau saya.....jangan main belakang....sebab itu tidak benar harus terbuka..........
Merci pour cette très belle et très complète présentation.
Un bateau anglais "made in China" peut surprendre, surtout lorsque l'on encourage le patriotisme européen, malgré le Brexit, mais le tarif fait oublier ces "honorables scrupules".
Quel superbe bateau.!😮
A comparer avec les Sunseeker 95 et 100 (made in England), et le Riva 90 Argo (italien)..
Comme j'aimerais avoir les moyens de vivre mes rêves..
Encore un grand merci pour ce beau moment...
Everything made in China? Geeeeze
Not watching this one..
Go tell nordhavn
Excellent tour of my favourite boat. Classy and refined is exactly it! But on this one the beige fabrics spoil it, whereas it looks fantastic with the grey fabrics of e.g. hull 1. Well done for opening even more cupboards than Mr B! Except for the washer and drier cupboards...and there's a galley too!
You mentioned owner/operator when you were on the flybridge. Can an owner be an owner/operator on a 95' yacht? I guess a better way to put it is, could you (you, not me- I don't have the experience you do) and a brother or son operate such a yacht yourselves? I suppose it would depend on what you were going to do with it for one. But isn't there some legal limitations or something about that size of boat? I thought anything over 80' had to be crewed. As an American, I could envision having a home in Florida or something with a private dock big enough for this boat and using it with my son to take weekend trips to the Bahamas or something, just anchored off an island and using the tender to go into the beach for an afternoon. I suppose I could probably swing that with my limited experience. Backing into Monaco or similar wouldn't be something I'd want to try with just me and my boy.
I can't quite remember to exact rule as I sail a small yacht. I think at 84 feet things change, I have a yachtmaster and I certainly would not be legal skippering this yacht.
@@ianscott3180 Not true, I am afraid... you are, if anything, over-qualified to skipper this yacht.
That's the problem with these RCD 24 metre (approximately 80 feet) "Hull Length" Rule 'cheats' - a complete novice (let alone a Yachtmaster) is perfectly allowed to slam this boat at 30 knots into a harbour wall or ram another person's pride and joy and walk away without any repercussions.
All yachts subject to the RCD can be captained and crewed by unqualified amateurs when used privately. Even when on charter (i.e. used commercially), a Yachtmaster can be captain (at least in the UK) of an RCD boat, even if the boat is actually bigger than a commercial "Large Yacht" classification (where the crucial measurement of 24 metres is "Load Line" length, not "Hull Length") vessel that requires a commercially endorsed Master's Certificate of its skipper.
I was assuming that a boat like this would be on the Med, you don't see many on the Solent. I know that you need no qualifications in UK waters but you couldn't cross the Channel.
@@ianscott3180 Yes, you could. According to the RYA:
"Visitors to France on foreign flagged boats are required to have the licence required by the vessel’s flag state."
This Pearl 95 is deemed to be RCD compliant, which under UK regulations, requires no licence for private use, although an ICC is recommended for French inland use.
Fellow former naval empire the Netherlands also has no qualification requirement for private coastal use.
Almost all countires in the EU that require some form of qualification only require an ICC, which is nowhere near as strict a qualification as Yachtmaster (and in a different league from a commercially endorsed Master's ticket). For example, qualifying as an RYA Day Skipper Motor entitles one to an ICC.
@@RandomGuyRandomNumber An this yacht has a Malta Ensign so EU rules would apply.
Nobody caress about the storage!
What an impressively beautiful and well layd out vessel! The only thing I'd change is the orientation of the beds of the two guest's doubles. You can have a TV anywhere, but a view to the ocean would be my choice always. Can Pearl invert them??
Agree, also i noticed in the Pearl brand they don't provide a large window size in the bedrooms as other manufacturers would do. The Pearl windows are also elevated that it's harder to see out directly from the bed.
Phenomenal tour Hugo!
Brilliant looking boat, amazing spaces, and with a very competitive price and warranty it would most likely be my choice if I were in the market for a 95’ boat.
The million pounds saving could run boat at full speed for 635 hours!
Great boat, I really like the design. I understand Pearl‘s decision to build in China with lower prices and all, but still, the situation in Hong Kong and Taiwan always comes to mind. I‘d rather buy Western production yachts.
Gorgeous and excellent price point
I imagine the crew loves following you around cleaning your fingerprints on the woodwork. 😅
Actually a great tour. Very thorough except for the galley.
Lovely for a crewed yacht, be it charter or private. For owner operator a bit large, but Pearl do a 62 & 72 too. Same build quality, same designer, but a more manageable size.
I noticed the Pearl 72' and (new) 82' both have garages that hold a tender, jet ski, and sea bob(s), yet this one does not. I wonder if you were to purchase a new one, they would have a larger garage if you asked.
You had me at made is china... Kthxbai
Is it me but do all British yachts look basically the same? For the experts out there, what differentiates Pearl from Sunseeker and Princess?
People speak of Chinese build but its not about location its about engineering and management. You can buy tat builds from the EU and US (and China too) but if the team behind the building is top notch then where the fibreglass is moulded and the engines etc install makes no difference.
Nothing speaks 'British' more when building in China for cheap labour as wages are already depressed in the UK.
whatched many yacht tours dont know why I cant afford a canoe but ima amazed at how rediculously important the storage seems to be in these tours . so much so that they ll skip areas no problem like Galley in this instance but have to open every dam cabinet as to show us this is a place you can put stuff in and if you pull it the drawer will slide and if its a door it ll rotate . masterfull engineering those cabinets i tell ya
Someone has to say it. Made in China? Is there nothing made in China that lasts more than 5 years? You get what you pay for IMO and when it comes to a super yacht spend the extra money and get something that has a proven track record.
Motor Boat, great video, do you know if they have jet trusters on Pearl 95 instead of the propellors?
Cheaper or not. I wouldn't give my money to china!!!!!!!!!!
Really nice tour and sea trial, thanks. Very good looking boat and remarkable value with a full 5 year warranty. Interesting to learn that the fuel consumption rises by x10 increasing the speed from 9 to 24 knots.
My pleasure 🙏
Don’t bother ironing the shirt you have had stuffed in back of some gym bag
Duit untuk membangun Penjara...di tengah laut .saya bersama Angkatan Laut.....!!!!!
Only 5.95 million? I'll take 2!
Stunning boat throughout and I always thought were built in the UK. I'm all in favour of keeping a British person in a British job so if I could afford 1, it would be a tough decision. I think it's a mistake to be building/awarding anything to China these days. That said, I've just watched a Princess 95 video tour and that was £12 million......... decisions decisions........
Chinese sunseeker/princess copy… nothing new to see here
Its the best beats them all pearl are the best and there 72 one is amazing that beats em all has well 😊
Wait till it starts to fall apart and second hand value will not be as good as a sunseeker
Brilliant tour, awesome boat, magnificent reviewer. Thanks Hugo xx
🙏
Beautiful boat, but then someone let their nan decorate it.
Excellent video and excellent yacht!
Glad you enjoyed it
I think I like the Bill Dixon design, but I don't get Kelly Hoppen's work. It's boring. The monochromatic white pottery decorations are cheap. This yacht is a charter yacht so it is in effect a micro-hotel so it looks like a hotel. I also don't get the fascination of not finishing the exterior teak tables. Why? Gloss everywhere, but they can't be bothered with the exterior tables? Yea - I know it's a choice, but why? The Chinese know now to build these yachts, they have been one of the biggest builders for years. Still Hugo did a good just with his review and I learned a lot, Not to buy a Pearl Yacht with that imaginary lottery win is one of them.
Always remember, you get what you pay for.
You mean like nordhavn ? Most of them built in China with a couple built in Taiwan .
HEY!? THOSE ANCHOR WINDLASSES & BOW CLEATS! SHINES REALLY PRETTY!! LIKE REFLECTIVE DOG STONES!!! BUT THEY CAN B DEADLY DANGEROUS!!
Kasih ke nomer rekening saya saja....kalau saya mah pasti terbuka.........
Ya know, sorry, but the lack of quality and Way Too many “decorations” really show where some of the corners were cut to save a few dollars. So obvious!
Maybe I missed it but, I didn’t see the galley
I'm not a fan of the interior design of this yacht. The main salon looks cheap to me, specifically the seating. The sofas and chairs look like the type you would get at a budget furniture shop. And the little trinkets on every shelf (that come with the yacht) are so generic it feels like a Pottery Barn.
Built in China??
Pass
Anyone who buys anything made in China after the economic coercion they are placing on Australia needs to have a serious think about their values
The most annoying thing someone can ever do when showing a beautiful yacht is to opening every cabinet and drawer to show how much storage the yacht has. I actually believe he’s just being nosy and wants to see what people have behind closed doors. By opening all the storage cabinets and every drawer is a TOTAL TURN OFF when showing a beautiful yacht. Sometimes too much storage ends up being cluttered with junk. We understand what the cabinet or drawer is used for definitely no need to open them all. This was a poor showing.

I was enjoying this very much until you pointed out the HUGE speakers in beach club on the aft end. I hope these were not the xxxxxxxxs that anchored next to me at Anti Paxos this summer and tried to prove how big their speakers were. All that freedom to find a nice spot to while away an afernoon on your little yacht and a floating night club drops anchor next door. Great video though.😀
I like the tall hand rails along the side with glass panels, as adults can feel safe in choppy water, and the glass panels prevents small excited children from slipping over the side.
Holy toledo! That is a proper bathroom. You could live in there!
Its even got a cot for the slender framed.
Pearl is killing it. Beautiful boat and the quality of the appointments and decor is perhaps a cut above the usual and also excellent competition.
Thanks for a quality walkthrough and the expert presenter and yacht pro showing the finer points. 👍
The passerelle control panel has one corner bent by hand to fit over a hull style line (timestamp 1.12).
That tells you all you really need to know about the quality of construction. It's superficially good, but the last 10% of effort just isn't there. So they bodged it.
I wanted to see the galley :(
I really do like my yachts if you want to make any miner changes. Where can they be done in the UK. And thank you for the tour and sharing it.
Great tour and great to see you're calming down a bit when opening some storage places 😊. Some comment on the interior, for myself I would love to see a similar more open design like on the new 72 from this designer. Even all the white chairs looking great and spotless when not used privately or for charter, I think it's not a practical colour for longer time use. I always kind of hated the white captain chairs in other models. Contrasts are great, but practically should guarantee for long terms too
From the thumbnail I mistook it for the Sunseeker 95.
But this boat is even cheaper than a Sunseeker 88. Good value for the money.
Most detailed and informative review, also making noteworthy commentary on the extensive detail attention put into designing and assembly of this yacht.
Thank you so very much!.
Thanks for the detailed Tour. I would never order that much glazing over thr helm. You literally cannot read the screens. That's a no go in regards of safely. The helm needs to be dark and shaded.
Princess could learn a lesson on the quality of the woodwork and layout of this 95 footer .
Pantesan saya kalau ke Bali di jegal......!!!ha ha ha ha ha ha....
No kitchen?
wow, she is beautiful. question how long will it take to build one like this? and how much can you tell me in ECD.?
Excellent tour, love the commentary on details and detail of tour! Thank you for the tour!
Where"s the Galley?
Made in China 😬
What’s to say it won’t be as reliable as a jag or Range Rover?
BANK...BRI ...bank saya mah........!!!
That lonely pair of Hugo Boss undies tho 😝
Lovely
I will have it, whose paying for me?
The tour is spot on! This is a very nice yacht, love the decor
Wow, this is beautiful, the interior at least, didn't really see the shape of the exterior but a lovely boat. If I had the money I would be seriously tempted to get this rather than Princess or Sunseeker.
Really...? You would pick this over a Sunnseeker 95 Yacht... or 100 Yacht...?
@@gb3496yep
Stunning vessel, and thanks a lot for a fantastic tour 😊👍
Excellent Tour Thank You.
The life raft Lois insufficient.
the engines looked v strange
Did I miss it were is the galley
👀😳👀WOW😱
Nice toy 😮👍
Interior looks like it was designed by someone's grandmother..... absolutely awful. Such a shame cause the boat's pretty nice in layout....
I'm surprised there wasn't a big 'live laugh love' stencil somewhere.
Needs a mic
No kitchen/laundry room then..
Galley will be through to the left beyond that big dining table.
Very nice Hugo, thank you very much.
My pleasure
How is this yacht able to go below the 24 meter load line length limit? Detacheable nosecone?
@Jj Jones I thought that was recently made illegal?
The Princess 30M, Sunseeker 100 Ocean, and the Ferretti 1000 are also under 24 meter load line. It's complicated
A great report. Thank you Hugo.
🙏
Fantastic tour.👍
Thanks Mike
Being made in china does not bother me one bit. Nice yacht and the price is fantastic when you consider others in that price bracket. I’d like to know more on costs ie dry docking mooring’s services etc. you could argue”well if your worried then you can’t afford it” but it could be the difference between this yacht and a less elegant one. Still , my favourite so far in the 90+ range
Yes, British design, but the yacht is made in Hong Kong
