BLUE PEARL
114′
Renowned yacht designer Robert Perry has completed his career magnum opus – The Blue Pearl – a 114-foot luxury clipper ketch that blends old-world design elements with leading-edge cruising technology. Perry has teamed up with designer Ivan Erdevicki to produce a superior design.
Classic Design
Owner captains raised on one-designs still appreciate the classic nautical lines that have eroded with time. The Blue Pearl captures that lost aesthetic in a modern variation that satisfies the nostalgic without compromising luxury, comfort and speed.
With interiors available in traditional teak and a contemporary look, the Blue Pearl accommodates 10 to 12 passengers comfortably and a crew of four, depending on the owner’s configuration. Separate aft guest accommodations can be reduced to make room for a high-end luxury master suite.
Ultra-Low Maintenance
Unlike most superyachts constructed today of aluminum or steel, the hull of the Blue Pearl is composed of new modern composite laminate materials and epoxy-resin compound, which is virtually indestructible, quiet and eliminates most maintenance associated with metal hulls.
The resilience of the hull will be a significant driver toward low maintenance costs plus the added value of a very quiet riding experience.

The layout and décor exude a luxurious stately ambiance of open spaces and comfort. The library/stateroom is inviting with a soft deep leather couch and chair, reading lamp, elegant paintings, bookcases, flat screen and fireplace. The day head with shower and sink are immediately off of the library. The interior spaces are well appointed and inviting. The BluePearl is a true home on the water and her level interior decks add to the feeling of a continuous living space. The galley boasts a full Wolfe range with stove along with a gimbaled stove and oven. There is plenty of storage for wine in the wine cooler and wine racks which abound throughout the yacht.
Unlike most superyachts constructed today of aluminum or steel, the hull of the Blue Pearl is composed of new modern composite laminate materials and epoxy-resin compound, which is virtually indestructible, quiet and eliminates most maintenance associated with metal hulls.

Luxurious Interiors
Modern-Contemporary
Fundamentally, a modern contemporary style of decorating is defined by simplicity, subtle sophistication, deliberate use of texture, and clean lines. Interiors tend to showcase space rather than things. Things that are modern and current with the styles of the moment are contemporary style.
Traditional
A traditional interior design style is the classic interior design preference. It is a way of design that helps every sailing person experience the full ocean while taking part in their sea journey. Nautical in absolute technical terms means ships and seas. Nautical style is a very age-old style that adds a sense of nostalgia within place.
