Revealing a legend

IYC has released the first complete walkthrough video of SY Black Pearl, the 105-metre Oceanco sailing masterpiece now available for charter.

Launched in September 2016 by Oceanco and now under IYC’s management available for charter, the release of images of Black Pearl’s interior spaces, and the very heart of her sailing systems signals a new chapter for one of the most extraordinary yachts ever created.

Captain Chris Gartner personally welcomed Jared Watney of Ocean Air Media on board with unrestricted access.

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-feet (105-metres), with three towering DynaRig masts rising nearly 230-feet (70-metres) and approximately 10,077-square-feet (3,000-square-metres) of sail area deployed in under eight minutes, she is one of the most technically advanced sailing yachts ever built.

In this 26-minute 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 saloon boasting 2.5-metre ceiling heights and 100-metre sightlines; A wellness-focused night lounge featuring gym, hammam, massage suite and beach club access; Master suite with convertible configuration and waterline-level comfort; and bridge and sailing systems that allow transatlantic passages with extraordinary fuel efficiency.

On a recent Atlantic crossing from Tenerife to Antigua, Black Pearl completed the voyage in under 10 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

Head of Charter Management Monaco, Anna Granlund commented, “We are incredibly proud and honoured to give you an unprecedented look inside one of the most extraordinary sailing yachts ever built, representing the pinnacle of modern sailing design and engineering.

Black Pearl’s scale, innovation, and sheer presence set her apart from anything else on the water. This full walkthrough lets you experience her like never before, offering an intimate glimpse into a yacht that redefines what it means to sail in unmatched luxury.

“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.”
