PEARL 73 WINS BEST LAYOUT AWARD AT THE WORLD YACHTS TROPHIES 2026
We are delighted to celebrate the success of the Pearl 73, which has been awarded Best Layout in the 19.5-24m category at the prestigious World Yachts Trophies 2026, presented during the gala evening at the Carlton Cannes Beach Club in Cannes.
As the yacht’s exterior and layout designers, Dixon Yacht Design is particularly proud that the award recognises the innovative spatial planning that shaped the Pearl 73.
Our design brief focused on maximising functionality, comfort and connection to the sea within a highly competitive size range. The result is a yacht that delivers exceptional liveability, featuring four en-suite guest cabins, including two impressive owner suite options, a seamless galley-aft arrangement linking the saloon and cockpit, and a Riviera-inspired aft deck with folding balconies that significantly enhance the connection to the water.
Working in close collaboration with Kelly Hoppen CBE Interiors and the team at Pearl Yachts, we developed a layout that challenges conventional expectations of space and usability in a yacht of this size, creating an onboard experience tailored to the way owners and their guests truly live, entertain and relax.
This award is a fantastic recognition of the collaborative effort behind the Pearl 73 and of the importance of intelligent design in enhancing life on board.
