Festivities included a Christian blessing of the vessel, champagne over the bow, speeches over lunch and the opportunity for guests to take a look onboard as well.
A very common theme in speeches and discussions was the very high standard of finish and quality throughout this stunning vessel.

Motor yacht Black Pearl will head off on her maiden journey this month which will see her initially cruise New Zealand before shipping to the Mediterranean for a world cruise ending in Australia.
Diverse Projects and LOMOcean Design have been exploring the development potential of the Black Pearl motor yacht design and have developed two new designs, the 35m BP world cruiser motor yacht and the larger 40m BP class motor yacht. These new motor yachts which very obviously carry the Black Pearl’s genes, are targeted at meeting new demands and emerging market trends identified by Lars Bjorklund and John Vitali of Diverse Projects.
