Cannes 2025: 105-Metre BLACK PEARL to Take Center Stage at Anchor

As the countdown begins for the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, one of the world’s most iconic sailing superyachts is set to cast her unmistakable silhouette across the Bay of Cannes. The 105-metre BLACK PEARL has confirmed her presence at anchor during the show’s latest edition, marking a standout moment in what is already poised to be a landmark year for the festival.

Spanning Vieux Port and Port Canto, the Cannes Yachting Festival remains one of the industry’s most influential events, showcasing cutting-edge design, world premieres, and the most coveted charter vessels in the Mediterranean. This year, 108 superyachts are expected to be on display — but few will command attention like BLACK PEARL.

Launched in 2018 and originally held in private ownership, BLACK PEARL only entered the charter market in 2024, making her official debut at the Antigua Charter Yacht Show. Since then, her reputation has only grown — not just for her revolutionary DynaRig sailing system and commanding profile, but for her unparalleled onboard lifestyle.

Now, in her Cannes premiere, guests will be offered a rare opportunity to step aboard one of the most technologically advanced and luxurious sailing yachts ever constructed.

A Charter Experience Like No Other

Winner of multiple international awards and a marvel of eco-conscious engineering, BLACK PEARL delivers the charter experience at its most elevated. Her expansive decks offer every imaginable indulgence: a mosaic-tiled Jacuzzi, a swimming pool framed by loungers, and the largest outdoor cinema ever installed on a sailing yacht — cleverly mounted on her mizzen mast.

Down at water level, her beach club is both refined and inviting, complete with plush seating, cinema lounge, and easy access to an array of water toys. Whether guests are lounging in the sun or diving into the turquoise waters of the Côte d’Azur, BLACK PEARL offers the ultimate indoor-outdoor experience.

Interiors Inspired by Royal Grandeur

Step inside and the mood turns palatial. Designed with rich, Louis XVI-inspired interiors, BLACK PEARL exudes regal sophistication with deep-toned woodwork, sumptuous fabrics, and finely curated detailing. Her main salon and formal dining area set the stage for elegant entertaining, while a sweeping study and wet bar provide moments of intimacy and escape.

Below deck, a full-beam nightclub offers a more playful ambience for late-night revelry, balanced by a serene wellness suite that includes a massage room, gym, sauna, and hammam. The overall impression is one of grand scale, executed with remarkable restraint and refinement.

Accommodation to Match

Accommodations aboard BLACK PEARL are as thoughtfully composed as her public spaces. She comfortably sleeps 12 guests in five lavish cabins: a master suite that stretches across the beam, two VIPs, a double, and a twin — all with ensuites finished in marble and brushed metallics.

Her charter schedule remains as ambitious as her design. BLACK PEARL is available for Mediterranean cruising during the summer season and winters in the Caribbean or Bahamas, offering privileged access to the world’s most desirable destinations.

A True Headliner for Cannes

With her arrival in Cannes, BLACK PEARL will undoubtedly be among the most photographed yachts in the bay: and for good reason. She represents a rare union of innovation, sustainability, and unrestrained luxury, and her presence at anchor is a powerful reminder of the direction modern yachting is headed.

For those lucky enough to step aboard during the festival, BLACK PEARL won’t simply be a highlight; she’ll be a revelation.
