LA PERLA

LA PERLA is a 39.7-metre custom steel displacement motor yacht built by West-Vlaamse in 1976 and most recently refitted in 2025, making her one of the more extensively restored classic superyachts currently available for charter. With exterior lines attributed to Franjo Flesch and interiors by Mare Placidum Ltd, she occupies a distinctive niche: classic steel construction combined with a substantial 2025 refit that brings her operational and interior standards into alignment with contemporary expectations.

She accommodates up to sixteen guests across eight cabins — an unusually generous guest capacity for a 39-metre vessel — with nine crew. Her charter regions are focused on Croatia, Montenegro, and the broader Mediterranean, making her a natural fit for the Adriatic season. Those seeking the open-ocean range typical of newer displacement yachts may find her 27,000 nautical mile listed range compelling on paper; her day-to-day programme is Adriatic and Eastern Mediterranean coastal in character.

What sets LA PERLA apart is her provenance and the commitment represented by a full 2025 refit on a hull of this age. Classic steel construction of this era, when properly maintained and restored, offers a robustness and character that newer GRP vessels do not replicate. At 339 gross tonnes for a 39.7-metre hull, she carries meaningful volume, and the interior design by Mare Placidum translates that volume into comfortable accommodation across eight cabins — practical for larger families or groups chartering together.

Onboard, the amenity specification is appropriately classic in character: air conditioning, sunpads, and Wi-Fi as baseline comfort features, with a jet-ski, Seabob, paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment for water access. A yacht charter aboard LA PERLA rewards guests who appreciate considered restoration and classic character rather than the specification sheet of a contemporary new-build. Crew of nine provide consistent service across the sixteen-berth capacity.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
