Pearl Yachts to stage the World debut of the Pearl 100 Hybrid at Flibs 2026
The Pearl 100 Hybrid will make her world debut at the 67th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which runs from 28 October to 1 November 2026. The new raised-pilothouse 30M flagship will lead Pearl Yachts’ display, which will also feature the stunning Pearl 82 – the most compact superyacht on the market.
Pearl 100 Hybrid is the largest yacht yet created by Pearl and the first model in its fleet to feature advanced hybrid propulsion. Her twin-shaft e-Motion hybrid system pairs two MAN V12 2,000 hp 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.
The yacht has five en-suite guest cabins, including two principal suites: the full-beam owner’s suite is on the main deck and opens directly on to a private foredeck terrace, while the second full-beam suite is amidships on the lower deck. A forward double suite and two twin cabins complete the guest accommodation, with separate quarters for four or five crew.
Dixon Yacht Design is responsible for the exterior styling and naval architecture, with fold-out wings extending the aft cockpit towards the water and a passage linking the extended flybridge directly with the foredeck. Kelly Hoppen’s new Monochrome interior design scheme features on the Pearl 100 Hybrid. As with all Pearl yachts, owners can also choose from Kelly Hoppen’s signature Indulgence, Luxury and Modern interior styles, offering a range of distinct characters and finishes.
Iain Smallridge, founder and managing director of Pearl Yachts, said: “The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show marks an important milestone for Pearl Yachts as we present the Pearl 100 Hybrid for the very first time. As our new flagship, she represents a significant step forward for the brand, combining innovative hybrid technology, exceptional craftsmanship, and a design that delivers both luxury and practicality for owners and guests alike. The introduction of the e-Motion hybrid system demonstrates our commitment to embracing new technologies without compromising the comfort, performance, and lifestyle that define every Pearl yacht.”
Pearl will also display the Pearl 82, a raised-pilothouse model with five en-suite guest cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck with direct access to a private foredeck terrace. Riviera and Veranda arrangements are available for the aft deck, while the garage is designed to accommodate a Williams 395 tender, a Sea-Doo Spark, SeaBob’s and/or additional water toys.
Pearl Yachts will host an exclusive evening launch event for the Pearl 100 Hybrid at the Pearl hospitality area located on the Hall of Fames from 6.00 pm on Friday 30 October, when Bill Dixon and Kelly Hoppen CBE will join the company to introduce the new flagship.
