Standing at 350ft,  Black Pearl  is the world’s largest sailing yacht and is estimated to have cost in excess of $200 million. The unique vessel was garnering global attention long before her maiden voyage thanks to her revolutionary design, eco-credentials and technological advancements, all of which have set a new industry standard and seen her scoop-up numerous awards for innovation. 

Delivered in 2018 by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, the three-mast yacht is said to be the realization of a radical vision by her owner who wanted “to build something that was out of the ordinary in every way,” according to the ship’s captain Chris Gartner. Who is  Black Pearl’s  owner? This, along with much of her interior details, has never been officially released, all adding to  Black Pearl’s  mystique. That being said, she is widely believed to belong to the Russian businessman, Oleg Burlakov.

This unmistakable vessel is not the product of one designer but in fact the result of an ambitious cross-industry collaboration between some of international yachting’s greatest creative minds. UK-based Ken Freivokh Design (responsible for the iconic  Maltese Falcon ) and Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard (behind Steven Speilberg’s  Seven Seas  yacht) teamed up to create her striking exterior. However, it is not just her aesthetics that sets her apart, but also her utilization of the very latest green technology, which according to Oceanco, has rendered her capable of crossing the Atlantic without using any fuel. “How?” one might ask.

In fact, under sail, the yacht can reach an incredible 30 knots and regenerate enough energy to power the boat’s full house load, removing the need to run generators. 

Black Pearl  is also powered by an advanced hybrid propulsion system that Oceanco designed in collaboration with specialist consultancyBMT Nigel Gee. Gartner explains how the complex system generates electricity through the vessel’s spinning propellers: “Her hybrid propulsion installation has two shaft lines, each with a controllable pitch propeller. In normal sailing mode, the propellers are set to minimize drag and prevent the shafts from turning. But when we want to harvest some of that kinetic energy to be stored and used onboard, the pitch of the propellers is altered to create a lifting force as the water passes over them. This rotates the shafts, which are connected to a permanent magnet electric propulsion motor, effectively converting the wind energy that is moving  Black Pearl  through the water into electrical energy.”

Little information has been released about Black Pearl’ s  interiors / ©Tom Van Oossanen

Her interiors – which remain a closely guarded secret – were also designed by Nuvolari Lenard and French architect Gerard Villate. Other than that, what we do know is that she has six cabins providing accommodation for up to 12 guests, including a master suite and two VIP cabins.  Black Pearl’s  total interior volume is a roomy 2,700 GT, significantly overshadowing the world’s second-largest sailing yacht the  EOS  at 1500 GT. 

No actual pictures of the inside of the vessel have ever been released but according to Nuvolari Lenard, the interior is a celebration of Louis XVI French design (think elaborate neoclassical touches like wood carvings, gold accents and sumptuous fabrics) as well as some art deco touches. The Italian design studio has also  shared a handful of interior renderings  to give us a hint of what may lie inside the  Black Pearl  yacht. These include an elaborately decorated dining room that can seat up to 16 guests. We would expect to see this same level of grandeur throughout her accommodation.

Black Pearl  is said to have a wealth of recreational spaces spread across her three decks, though due to her secretive nature, little information has been published as to what delights she offers her passengers. Aerial photographs reveal a pool aft of the main deck as well as a hot tub aft of the upper deck. There is also a fold-down platform at the aft of the yacht which is likely to transform into a full-beam beach club. 

Ken Freivokh Design  features a mysterious unnamed 328-ft-plus DynaRig yacht on its website which some may speculate could give us an insight into the luxury facilities on board the vessel. The unidentified yacht includes a substantial toy and tender garage housing two limousine tenders, a hydroplane and a range of utility tenders and jet skis. It is also said to feature a helipad and an extending forward deck that can be used for entertaining guests as well as spotting dolphins. If that wasn’t enough, other out-of-this-world amenities include a glass-fronted swimming pool and an aquarium. Could  Black Pearl  host similar facilities? It’s anyone’s guess. 

A true sailing vessel, the  Black Pearl  yacht is built for adventure and her lower carbon footprint means her voyages are much kinder to the planet than those of a typical motor yacht of similar stature. 

Despite her transatlantic credentials she appears to spend most of her time cruising around Europe with regular sightings in Gibraltar as well as stopovers on the Isle of Portland on England’s south coast, the Spanish ports of Cadiz and Tarragona, the Russian city of St.Petersburg and of course Monaco where her owner is said to reside.

Let’s start with her three imposing 230ft DynaRig carbon masts designed by Dykstra Naval Architects. The innovative structure sees her sails subdivided into smaller sections that can be set or furled at the touch of a button. “The key to the DynaRig’s effectiveness is just how easy it makes sailing Black Pearl rather than relying on propulsion from fossil fuels,”  says Gartner. “With a single person able to set 2,900 sq meters (31, 215 sq ft) of sail area in just under seven minutes, we can quickly and simply turn off the main engines and harness the power of the wind, which costs nothing and is better f or the environment.”

According to Marine Traffic , at the time of publication, she was docked in Montenegro at the small but glamorous port of Tivat, located in an enclave of the Adriatic.

BLACK PEARL Yacht – Huge $200M Sailing Yacht

Taking the title of the second largest sailing yacht in the world, BLACK PEARL yacht is a site to behold.

Cruising across the water with her stunning black exterior, the Black Pearl yacht certainly lives up to her name.

BLACK PEARL yacht interior

BLACK PEARL has a spacious interior, almost like a large motor yacht. She has a glass elevator, a spa pool, and a hot tub for the people on board to enjoy. There is also a beach club cinema.

Designed by Nuvolari Lenard , in collaboration with architect Gerard Villate, the interior is not very well known. No pictures of the interior have ever been released.

We do know that the interior design was a tribute to the design of Louis XVI, with ornate wooden details and gold accents.

There are also some influences from the Art Deco era. We also know that there is a grand dining room, set up to host up to 16 dinner guests.

Specifications

The Black Pearl yacht has an overall length of 106,7 meters (35 ft). The beam is 15 meters (49,3 ft) and has a top speed of 15 knots.

The cruising speed is 12 knots. Her sails can be raised in just seven seconds with the push of a button, and she can cross the Atlantic using under a liter of fossil fuel.

She is economical in other aspects too. Regenerative power under sail, for example.

The late owner wanted to have less of an impact on the environment and set up several environmentally friendly solutions.

The Black Pearl yacht has room for up to twelve guests in her six staterooms.

The Black Pearl yacht’s exterior was designed by Nuvolari Lenard, the same as the interior. In collaboration with Ken Freivokh Design, they created her distinct look.

The black color covers most of her exterior, and her sails have a mechanism that allows them to be folded, in order to pass through the Panama canal.

She also possesses the largest DynaRig in the world. In fact, she has three of them.

There is some mystery regarding the different features of her exterior, same as for the interior, but thanks to aerial photographs there is known to be a hot tub aft on one of the three decks, and a pool aft on the main deck.

World’s largest sailing yacht ‘Black Pearl’ arrives in the Mediterranean

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   27 March 2018

Delivered on Friday 16 March, the 107m/350ft sailing yacht ‘Black Pearl’ from Oceanco arrived in the Mediterranean earlier today.

Currently holding the title of world’s largest sailing superyaht, Black Pearl looked triumphant as she made her way to the Mediterranean today.

The result of a fascinating design phase, Black Pearl began life as a concept drawn up by Ken Freivokh in 2010. Codenamed Nautilus, the concept utilised the DynaRig technology engineered by Dykstra Naval Architects and made famous by the 88m/289ft sailing yacht ‘Maltese Falcon’  built by Perini Navi.

In 2012, the Dutch shipyard Oceanco were selected as the builders, bringing in Italian designers Nuvolari Lenard who made a series of changes to the exterior and interior styling to transform her into the sailing yacht we see today.

With such incredible designers playing vital roles in her design, it is unsurprising that Black Pearl has emerged with a unique identity that can be heralded as a landmark moment in the history of sailing yachts.

Indeed, her sleek black-painted steel hull is completed by the huge logo emblazoned on her central mast, making her unlike any other superyacht out on the water right now.

Due to the highly secretive nature of her development phases, there are currently no published images of her interior spaces. It has been confirmed, however, that the collaborative design continued inside and Ken Freivokh, Nuvolari Lenard and Villate Design each had a hand in shaping the look and feel of the social and guest spaces.

As the world’s largest sailing yacht, Black Pearl is sure to cause a sensation in the Mediterranean

Demonstrated by the above images, the DynaRig clearly possesses the same kind of power and performance of the legendary Maltese Falcon. A technology which was dreamed up in the 1960s, it wasn’t until the 21st century that advanced building techniques made it possible to implement the DynaRig on board superyachts.

Greatly improving the efficiency and precision of a vessel, the technology allows a single person to control the angle of the sails by rotating the freestanding masts. Forming a single panel when angled together, the sails ultimately enhance the overall capabilities of the yacht.

What truly distinguishes Black Pearl from her the Perini Navi icon is the unusual reverse bow that was born out of the original concepts and the talents at Oceanco.

Altogether, Black Pearl is truly deserving of her status as a new born legend, and her significance is sure to be felt for many more years to come.

Whilst S/Y Black Pearl will not be available for charter, you can view and compare all Oceanco yachts available to charter .

Oceanco’s Black Pearl: Everything you need to know about the biggest sailing yacht in the world

• Superyachts

The largest sailing yacht in the world, Oceanco's Black Pearl also boasts a hybrid diesel electric system and can reach 17.5 knots under power

That’s a big sailing boat!

It sure is! At 350ft (106.7m) long and built out of steel and aluminum by Netherlands based Oceanco, ‘Black Pearl’ is the biggest sailing boat in the world! She’s almost 50ft wide!

Hang on, ‘Sailing Yacht A’ is larger isn’t it?

Yes it is, considerably, but it’s not actually a sailing boat. ‘Sailing Yacht A’ is actually a sail assisted motor yacht. The sails help power it.

So ‘Black Pearl’ will run fuel free?

Completely. And I really do mean completely. Under the right conditions, as the boat sails and the propellers are dragged through the water they spin up to create efficient generators. Add the solar sails, and clever features like on board heat regeneration, and the sun and the wind will power the entire ship without burning a drop of diesel!

That’s incredible but those masts look huge, it must take ages to set the sails.

The three 70m (230ft) tall DynaRig carbon masts were designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and support 2,900 square meters of sail. Amazingly, full sail can be set or furled at the touch of a button in just seven minutes.

But you can motor it too?

Of course. In addition to wind power, she is powered by a hybrid diesel electric system. 2 x 1080kW MTU’s linked to 2 x 400kW electrical propulsion motors.

How fast can it go?

17.5 knots under power, faster under sail. 30 knots is possible in the right conditions.

Presumably there’s plenty of space for people too?

Her accommodations include a master suite, two VIP suites, two double guest cabins and a full beam beach club, that converts into a cinema. There’s an all glass lift to take you between decks too, Willy Wonka would be proud.

Oceanco delivers the 106.7m Black Pearl the largest dynarig sailing yacht in the world

The 106.7m (350ft) three-masted sailing yacht Black Pearl is unlike any yacht the world has ever seen. This unique and complex vessel is the realization of a discerning Owner’s vision. She is the result of an elaborate and successful collaboration on the part of an international group of designers, engineers, naval architects, builders, and project managers.

The designers Ken Freivokh Design, Nuvolari Lenard and Villate Design all played a significant role in Black Pearl ’s design evolution. Dykstra Naval Architects designed Black Pearl ’s three 70 meter (230ft) DynaRig carbon masts and sailing system. The sail area is subdivided into smaller lesser-loaded sails and they can be set or furled by pushing a button. Astonishingly, all 2,900 square meter of sails can be set in 7 minutes.

BMT, Nigel Gee collaborated with Oceanco to create Black Pearl ’s hybrid propulsion system as well as other onboard systems such as waste heat recovery.

Since her launch, Black Pearl has proven to be a new generation landmark sailing yacht with a unique identity. Not only is she the largest sailing yacht in the world, but her unique features such as the state of the art DynaRig system, single level engine room, a hybrid propulsion installation and regeneration mode when under sail – she is set to turn heads the world over – and for decades to come.

106m sailing yacht Black Pearl delivered by Oceanco

The 106.7 metre  Oceanco  sailing yacht  Black Pearl  has been delivered.  Sold by Moran Yacht and Ship in 2012  and launched in September 2016, she has been undergoing extensive sea trials which saw her reach an impressive top speed of 30 knots under sail.

Black Pearl  was developed in collaboration with an all-star cast of designers —  Dykstra Naval Architects , Ken Freivokh ,  Nuvolari Lenard ,  BMT Nigel Gee and  Gerard P. Villate all contributed their respective expertise.

With an LOA of 106.7 metres, her delivery will see her now officially join the ranks of  the world's largest superyachts . Black Pearl is a tri-deck sailing yacht and was built from a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure. Accommodation for 12 guests is split across six cabins and her 15 metre beam allows for a total interior volume of 2,700GT.

Auxiliary power comes from a pair of MTU 12V2000M72 diesel engines for a top speed of 17.5 knots. However, thanks to her three 70-metre Dynarig carbon masts and 2,900 square metres of sails, it is when under wind power that Black Pearl truly comes in to her own.

Built to Lloyd’s Registry standards,  Black Pearl  has been registered in the Cayman Islands, with the latest AIS data showing that she is currently heading to Gibraltar from Oceanco's Ablasserdam headquarters.

Further details are few and far between, with Oceanco remaining tight-lipped about this spectacular sailing yacht project, however, the raised pilothouse and extensive  superyacht sundeck  can be seen in great detail in the most recent video.

Other projects currently under development at the Dutch yard include the 109 metre Oceanco Y718 , which is another Nuvolari Lenard design and is due to hit the water next year.

Oceanco delivers the 106m sailing yacht Black Pearl

The largest DynaRig sailing yacht in the world

Dutch yard Oceanco has delivered the 106.7m sailing yacht named Black Pearl.

The impressive three-masted vessel was sold by Moran Yacht and Ship back in 2012. Launched in 2016, she was extensively tested and undergone sea trials.

She is the result of an elaborate collaboration on the part of an international group of designers, engineers, naval architects, builders, and project managers.

The designers Ken Freivokh Design, Nuvolari Lenard and Villate Design all played a significant role in Black Pearl’s design evolution. Dykstra Naval Architects designed Black Pearl’s three 70m (230ft) DynaRig carbon masts and sailing system. The sail area is subdivided into smaller lesser-loaded sails and they can be set or furled by pushing a button. All 2,900 square meter of sails can be set in 7 minutes.

BMT Nigel Gee collaborated with Oceanco to create Black Pearl’s hybrid propulsion system as well as other onboard systems such as waste heat recovery.

Black Pearl is a tri-deck sailing yacht built from a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. She can accommodate 12 guests in six double cabins.

Besides the sails, auxiliary power is provided by two MTU 12V2000M72 diesel engines for a top speed of 17 knots. During sea trials she reached an impressive 30 knots under sail.

The internationally acclaimed shipyard,  Oceanco is about to break yet again another record, but this time for the largest sailing yacht in the world . Named Black Pearl and built under the codename Project Solar, this gigantic yacht has the potential to cross the Atlantic while only burning 20 liters of fuel due to its highly alternative power sources.

Ken Freivock was contracted by the owner in 2010 to working on the design and styling of this massive project . She was inspired by the 88-meter Maltese Falcon built by Perini Navi. After much thought, Freivock and his experienced team opted to extend the vessel to 100m. (later modified to 106m) in 2011 and the Dutch-based builder, Oceanco was finally selected by the owner to undertake the yacht’s construction in 2012. Nuvolari Lenard joined at a later time to give their expertise on parts of the superstructure, including the elliptical hull windows.

“The first time I saw Black Pearl was actually in a photo sent to me. And I couldn’t believe my eyes, I was very excited to see a photo of it finally because it had been such a secret project.” – Chris Gartner, Captain of the S/Y.”

“Actually Black Pearl was not an experiment, she is a real challenge in the yacht building industry. Because all that has been put on the drawing board had never been done before,” disclosed the CEO of Oceanco , Marcel Onkenhout. Many features of this vessel, otherwise impossible to achieve if it was a conventional sailing yacht, were actually implemented due to its massive size. Black Pearl comes to break the record of EOS by 13m.

The work of Dykstra Naval Architects allowed Black Pearl to have arguably the most advanced sail system ever, which allows her to cruise with the wind in any given direction.

As the development process of the yacht continued before the build started, the hull design kept evolving with active input from the owner following studies by Freivokh’s team on the bow swap that highlighted the need for its refinement. By the owner’s hand, these modifications gradually evolved into the overhang-to-reverse bow concept that the 106-meter Nautilus concept ultimately bore.

The layout and framework of Black Pearl’s interiors were originally designed by Freivock, however, it has been further refined by the owner who worked closely with designer Gerard Villatte.

“When we’re sailing, we have sufficient wind speed and we’re generating enough hull speed, we can then begin to maneuver the blades slightly to what we call regeneration mode. We can then use that energy and consume it within our electrical switchboard inside the vessel , explained Richard Tatlow, Black Pearl’s chief engineer.

However, Black Pearl also features another key element, solar panels that were built within the fabric of the sail allowing the yacht to produce energy whilst underway.

“With the right wind and the right sea, we could reach 30 knots. And with the regeneration and the [solar] sail, we’re predicting that we can do Transatlantic [crossings] with no fuel used,” clarified the owner’s representative for Black Pearl, Derek Munro. If indeed the yacht is able to perform all these features, then it will be a crucial development in the yachting industry .

The Black Pearl is set to be delivered soon and is already promised the title of the world’s largest sailing yacht. Her built has brought back a sense of innovation to the sailing yacht category, one that had not been as endorsed with advancements and projects in quite some time.

The Black Pearl

• May 26, 2019

Launched in 2016, the Black Pearl holds the title of the largest sailing yacht in the world

Oceanco’s 106.7m black pearl won top honours at the 2019 boat international design & innovation awards that took place on the 27th of january in cortina. this unique and complex vessel took home the award for “best naval architecture for sailing yachts.”.

Inspired by Perini Navi’s 88-metre Maltese Falcon, the Black Pearl features similar structure with three rotating masts, while the yacht is capable of crossing the Atlantic burning just 20 litres of fuel thanks to alternative power sources.

Black Pearl, the largest sailing yacht in the world, is a veritable tour de force, incorporating high tech design, an updated state-of-the art DynaRig sailing system, single level engine room, a hybrid propulsion installation and high capacity battery bank allowing for a regeneration mode when under sail. Her hull design is created with a unique wave-piercing bow that is both aesthetically appealing and fuel-efficient. Naval Architecture is by Dykstra Naval Architects and Lateral Naval Architects assisted with systems engineering and weight management as well as elements of structural and general engineering.

Black Pearl features a 49-foot beam and an interior volume of 2,700 gross tons, enough to house six staterooms for 12 guests.

Black Pearl is capable of crossing the Atlantic without using any fuel. Under sail power the yacht can regenerate enough energy to power full house load, obviating the need to run generators. Black Pearl ‘s hybrid propulsion system also has the ability to regenerate energy, as well as on board systems, such as the waste heat recovery system allowing further gains in overall energy efficiency.
