Nordkapp introduces the Airborne 5.4 compact performance RIB
Nordkapp has revealed the Airborne 5.4, a compact new RIB designed to deliver serious performance in a practical 5.4m package.

Pearl Yachts will officially unveil its latest model, the Pearl 63, at the Palma International Boat Show from 30 April to 3 May. The new 63ft flybridge yacht is positioned as the successor to the Pearl 62 and introduces upgraded accommodation, outdoor spaces, and propulsion options.
The Pearl 63 offers sleeping for eight guests across four cabins, including a full-beam master suite with private stairway access, his-and-hers wardrobes and panoramic hull glazing. The layout includes three bathrooms and a large wet room in the owner’s suite.


Notable exterior features include an enhanced aft cockpit with opening side balconies, adjustable dining tables, and a reconfigurable sofa. Owners can choose between a tender garage or a crew cabin, with the garage accommodating a Williams 285 or Seadoo Spark.


The flybridge includes a hardtop with optional opening section, wet bar, BBQ, and flexible sunbathing areas. The foredeck lounge features an optional Bedouin-style canopy, sun pads and a foldaway table.
Interior design comes from Kelly Hoppen Interiors, with four customisable themes available. The main saloon offers open-plan living, large glazing, and direct galley-to-cockpit flow.
Powered by Volvo Penta IPS engines, including an optional 2 x IPS 1350 configuration, the Pearl 63 is designed for ease of operation with joystick control, dynamic positioning and integrated Garmin touchscreens. Proportional thrusters further enhance manoeuvrability.


Along with the Pearl 63, the Pearl 72, 82, and flagship 95 will also be on display at Palma. Meantime, stay tuned for our forthcoming test of the new Pearl 63.
