Pearl Yachts’ new 100 Hybrid has completed initial sea trials ahead of her world debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. At 100 feet, the raised-pilothouse yacht is the largest Pearl to date and the first in the fleet to feature hybrid propulsion.
The twin-shaft e-Motion system combines two 2,000-hp MAN V-12 diesels with radial-flux permanent-magnet electric motors, supporting multiple operating modes, including silent electric cruising. An integrated power pack is also designed to handle hotel loads without running the generators.
Designed by Dixon Yacht Design, the Pearl 100 Hybrid accommodates guests in five en-suite cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck with direct access to a private foredeck terrace. A second full-beam suite sits amidships on the lower deck, alongside a forward double and two twin cabins. Separate quarters accommodate four or five crew.
Exterior features include foldout wings that extend the aft cockpit toward the water and a passage connecting the extended flybridge with the foredeck. Interior designer Kelly Hoppen’s new Monochrome scheme debuts aboard the yacht, while buyers can also choose from the builder’s Indulgence, Luxury and Modern interior collections.
Following the initial trials, Pearl will continue preparations for the Fort Lauderdale show, where the 100 Hybrid is scheduled to make its official world debut.
