OWNERS ’ COMMENTS

“It has been a privilege to own Ocean Pearl. She has brought me, my family, and friends countless memories — from exploring quiet anchorages to enjoying long passages, she has always been a safe, luxurious, and dependable home on the water.

I’ve been impressed with how solidly built and beautifully designed she is. The layout, both on deck and below is extremely well thought out, the generous comfortable spaces make her perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with family. She has every amenity we’ve ever needed for a weekend getaway or a long passage.

Since taking ownership, I’ve spared no effort or expense in maintaining and upgrading her.

She was in great condition when I bought her, but now she’s perfect. Preventative maintenance and servicing have always been done, and numerous improvements have been made.

She handles fantastic in a range of conditions, is effortless to sail and is economical under power.

Ocean Pearl has been a well-kept and much-loved yacht. It’ll be hard to say goodbye and she’ll be missed, but I look forward to seeing her bring as much joy to her next owner as she has to me.” Owner of Ocean Pearl since 2021
