There are big changes inside too. The Pearl 63 has a full-size dining table alongside the aft galley, instead of the old model’s co*pact dinette. And there’s a more sociable lounge further forward with a large C-shaped sofa to port and another small sofa opposite with pull-out stools.
‘Pearl is enjoying a formidable winning streak at the moment. There are only four models in the range (62, 72, 82 and 95) but all of them bring something to the table which their immediate rivals can’t match.’ – Hugo Andreae
Like the 62, the Pearl 63 features an unusual four-cabin, three-bathroom layout – most rivals only have three cabins. The full-beam owner’s cabin feels particularly private thanks to having its own separate access from the aft end of the saloon. It includes a centreline aft-facing king, hanging wardrobes on both sides, a vanity desk to port and either a breakfast booth or short sofa to starboard.
The three other cabins are all accessed from a central staircase next to the helm. There’s a VIP in the bow with aft-facing queen and two mirror twins amidships with forward-facing beds, both of which can easily convert to doubles.

As with the larger Pearl models, Kelly Hoppen’s team has curated a choice of four interior design schemes – Modern, Luxury, Monochrome and Indulgence.
The standard powertrain is twin 800hp Volvo Penta IPS1050s, which will deliver a top speed of around 27 knots. However, those wanting more will have the choice of either 900hp IPS1200s or 1,000hp IPS1350s, which should nudge those top speeds up to 30 and 33 knots respectively. At a typical cruising speed of 20 knots it should have an unrefuelled range of around 250-260nm.

Base prices for the Pearl 63 begin at £1.77 million ex taxes, but expect a typically specced one to weigh in at around £2.4 million. The first one is due to be co*pleted in March and should debut at the 2025 Palma Boat Show in April.
The 63 has a full-size dining table alongside the aft galley, instead of the old model’s co*pact dinette.
