IYC Unveils The First-Ever Complete Walkthrough of S/Y BLACK PEARL
IYC is proud to announce the release of the first-ever complete walkthrough video of the legendary 345' (105m) BLACK PEARL, sailing masterpiece built by Oceanco.
For the first time in her history, BLACK PEARL has opened every deck, every interior space, and the very heart of her sailing systems to full public view. Captain Chris Gartner personally welcomed Jared Watney of Ocean Air Media on board with unrestricted access.
Now under IYC’s management, this landmark moment signals a new chapter for one of the most extraordinary yachts ever created.
A Yacht Built Around One Core Idea: Sail Without Limits
BLACK PEARL is not a motor yacht with sails for assistance. She was conceived around a singular, revolutionary philosophy: to sail at an unprecedented scale, efficiently, elegantly, and powerfully, unlike any other vessel in the world.
At 345' (105m), with three towering DynaRig masts rising nearly 230' (70m) and approximately 10, 077 sqft (3,000 sqm) of sail area deployed in under eight minutes, she is one of the most technically advanced sailing yachts ever built.
In this exclusive walkthrough, Captain Chris Gartner, a 34-year sailing veteran whose career includes icons such as MALTESE FALCON and KORU, guides viewers deck by deck, revealing:
- The 360-degree sundeck with the largest exterior cinema screen in yachting
- Expansive aft decks with Jacuzzi and convertible swimming pool
- A vast foredeck transformed into sunset lounge experiences under sail
- A spectacular main salon with 8'2" (2.5m) ceiling heights and 328' (100m) sightlines
- A wellness-focused night lounge featuring gym, hammam, massage suite and beach club access
- A master suite with convertible configuration and waterline-level comfort
- The bridge and sailing systems that allow transatlantic passages with extraordinary fuel efficiency
During a recent Atlantic crossing from Tenerife to Antigua, BLACK PEARL completed the voyage in under ten days using just 16,000 litres of fuel; a fraction of the consumption of comparable motor yachts.
A Charter Experience Unlike Any Other
BLACK PEARL is more than a superyacht. She is a platform for participation. Guests are encouraged to take the helm, learn sail operations, and experience true wind-powered navigation, all while enjoying the comfort, volume, and versatility of a 3,000 GT yacht.
With accommodation for 12 guests (up to 14 including staff), multiple entertainment zones, transformative deck configurations, and a design that seamlessly blends engineering and artistry, she offers a charter experience unmatched anywhere in the world.
A Milestone Moment for IYC
This exclusive release is more than just a promotional video. It represents trust. No one has ever been granted this type of unrestricted, official access to BLACK PEARL . Under IYC’s management, we are honoured to present her in her entirety. Transparently, authentically, and with the depth she deserves.
This is not simply a walkthrough. It is the unveiling of a modern legend.
