The new Pearl 62 arrives
The new Pearl 62 kicks off 2020 in style for the British Boatbuilder. Launched at this year’s Boot Dusseldorf the 62 packs a rucksack full of innovative features and trendy design touches that continue the Brand’s ambitions. Starting aft, the yacht can be fitted with an optional up/down bathing platform that also glides outwards to become a terrace on the sea. The transom has a built-in bench that can be used as seating or as a passageway if a tender is stowed on the platform and it lifts to reveal a jet ski garage that can alternatively be fitted as a crew cabin. The bathing platform has runners so that launching a jet ski from the garage is a breeze.
