Pearl 72 (2023-) Feature & Performance Test Video by BoatTEST

The Pearl 72 is the fourth of a series of upscale luxury yachts that was originally designed to fill the space between the company’s 62 and 80 models, but she quickly came into her own with some remarkably desirable features such as two master staterooms.

Brilliant review as usual. I don’t see why anybody would need a bigger boat unless you have 5 kids. And the price is very fair as well. Go Pearl.

[@trevordefaoite9328]

People shouldn't underestimate that Pearl comes with a full 5 year warranty.

[@Goddywap]

Great review

[@nitramttellek8896]

Absolutely awesome Yacht, Pearl always ‘knock it out of the park’ and Capt. Steve always covers the finer details in depth. Thank you, best review of this model yet! Please review the new Pearl 82 when launched.

[@Richson44]

Wonderful evaluation captain Steve !!!! I LOVE this Yacht !!! You gave a brilliant detailed description of this spectacular boat. No 72' Yacht is perfect. However this one is as close as they get !!!!!!!!! When my investments come through I will be in line to purchase this 72' Pearl Yacht.!!! Thank You captain Steve !!!

Pearl makes an amazing vessel.

[@vincenzoterranova97]

Beautiful Yacht - nicely done as always

[@debbiejudd4933]

Beautiful yacht.

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Great boat test I've always said that if you're going to test a boat do so in choppy seas! What's the point in doing so in lake like conditions Well done

[@jefffawcett1626]

I'm sure Captain Steve is a man of immense influence but unlikely he has the level of sway needed to affect wind, weather and waves at the time of testing.

[@kungfooslap2983]

Awsome boat and review.Thank you.

[@BoatTEST]

Thank you for watching!

[@flacjacket]

Nice boat. Any idea if it can accommodate a full sized PWC where that Spark is?

[@jaimelopez3991]

Great review Captain Steve; I love that boat. Now, question here: on the Owner’s Cabin , how do you cover the upper skylight glass panels for privacy? I’ve seen at least ten reviews of this boat but no one has mentioned how the light entry feature is covered at night!! Thanks

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks for watching our test - we love the Pearl 72 and anything is possible with this boat. Reach out to them via our page - BoatTESt Team boattest.com/boats/pearl-motor-yachts

[@dud3man6969]

Beautiful boat, but with the range of a Tesla they need to make more room for fuel.

[@DriveSafeDon]

Once again, an incredible showing by Captain Steve. I love what they did with the VIP room on that boat with the bed facing forward that room looks beautiful. Well done Captain Steve. 👍👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jeffharper6259]

What a beauty!

[@easternyellowjacket276]

It's not a private on suite if it has access from the hallway acting as the day head. The boat needs more range.

[@mz22wa]

But where’s the blazer?

[@bigk7788]

That boat has more walk in showers than my house.

[@tacodias]

It’s probably more expensive too

[@bigk7788]

@@tacodias just a little

[@vandecar15]

Captain Steve is the GOAT! The Pearl 72 isn't bad either.

[@FlaGolfer]

Little short on range.

[@thepurplesband]

It needs the Volvo IPS

[@markward3242]

Great review of an amazing boat cpt Steve 🇬🇧

[@rtbinc2273]

I've always been a critic of Kelly Hoppen's designs. To me the whole interior looks like a high end Dentist's office. The simple truth is that these are floating rental bungalows - the charter market is their home. So they look sleek modern and nondescript. I like Bill Dixon's part.

[@sanynava9160]

Huh....you must have no taste...you probably don't even salt your food ... The Interiors are amazing....

[@rtbinc2273]

@@sanynava9160 There are no colors anywhere. No pop of red. No accent stitching. Bland bland bland. They sell so people like them.

[@sanynava9160]

@@rtbinc2273 I dont think people want colors, they dont want red stitching, this isnt a sports car, styling is meant to stand the test of time, not just be trendy and look like willy wonka's factory.

[@bryanmclellan8546]

Simply add red pillows. What else don't you like?

[@rtbinc2273]

@@bryanmclellan8546 Everything - there are some nice details here and there but overall it’s a miserable drab look. She took a pretty boat and sucked everything that might be joy out of it and spit it into the sea. She has a striking style that elicits a quick reaction - in my case it’s a negative reaction. If you like it I’m glad for you. Be happy.

[@williamwhaley7842]

Very well thoughout design! Beautiful!

[@clifbradley]

I like this more than the Azimut S7. The side wings are practically useless because you still have to step around to get to the swim platform. Maybe useful for the jet skis and tender, or maybe fishing. One thing I don't like about Pearl, and not sure if this is true anymore, but if something breaks, you have to find a Pearl approved mechanic or specialist to work on it. Not always easiest, or possible in some areas of the world. They ma,e exceptions, but only after exhausting all possibilities, and the captain or owner

[@darthkek1953]

One of the best high-lux 70 foot sports-fly cruisers in the market. IMO better than Sunseeker or Princess or Fairline. The Cranchi 78 is better though. That beast is amazing. Just so far head of the pack.

[@JamesLee-nw8kz]

The Cranchi 78 is also several more million dollars also..

[@darthkek1953]

@@JamesLee-nw8kz Thanks for the reply. I meant Cranchi 67, really just a typo. It's a wee a bit shorter but so much to the vessel. See Aquaholic's horse-voiced review. That said, having rewatched several Pearl 72 videos I might push it up another notch and say they're equal. Note in Europe the C67 and P72 are level-priced. I'm not hugely impressed by the C78 btw. I think there are better options from many yards.

[@lotuseletre8724]

The Horizon V68 is by far the best value so far in this size/class. Probably not same in brand recognition. Also with some updated interior design choices, it matches very closely w other brand name boats.

[@darthkek1953]

@@lotuseletre8724 That Horizon is a bit cheaper but IMO you see that internally. Looks very plain inside, the Pearl looks like a superyacht. But of course athetetics are always personal.

[@lotuseletre8724]

@@darthkek1953 for sure the Pearl is more stylish. That's why its hard to choose, you have to deal with trade offs. The V68 makes the decision very hard. It doesn't look like a super yacht the layout features is more super yacht like than the P72 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4aaqmmrq9h9f9E
