Pershing Yachts

Based in Mondolfo, Italy, luxury yacht builder Pershing builds high performance composite motor yachts from 14.24 to 35 metres in length. Pershing is owned by major Italian boat-building company Ferretti Group .

History of Pershing Yachts

Luxury yacht builder Pershing was founded in 1981 by Italian entrepreneurs Tilli Antonelli, Fausto Filippetti and Giuliano Onori, who established the shipyard as Cantiere Navale dell’Adriatico. In 1985, the founders collaborated with yacht designer Fulvio De Simone on their first performance luxury motor yacht model, the Pershing 45 . This fast motor yacht launched the Pershing luxury yacht range, named after the Pershing missile to denote its high-performance design concept. Luxury yacht builder Pershing joined the Ferretti Group in 1998, and the size of the Pershing luxury performance yachts continued to grow. In 2012, the Chinese Shandong Heavy Industry Group – Weichai Group acquired a 75 per cent interest in the Ferretti Group, including luxury yacht builder Pershing.

Notable Pershing Yachts

The 35.37-metre Pershing 115 superyacht, designed by Fulvio De Simone in collaboration with Advanced Yacht Technology and the Ferretti Group engineering team, is the flagship of the shipyard’s fleet. The Pershing 115 motor yacht has a top speed of 38 knots with twin 7,400-hp MTU diesel engines. When an aviation gas turbine is added to the propulsion package, the maximum speed of the Pershing 115 performance yacht increases to 52 knots.

Pershing Yachts History

In 1981, Tilli Antonelli, Fausto Filippetti, and Giuliano Onori pooled their talent and creativity to found Cantieri Navali dell’Adriatico in the small town of Mondolfo, Italy, introducing their first boat within a year. They started by producing laminate boats but became intrigued by the possibilities offered by motor yachts. At that time, motor yachts were designed to deliver the utmost in luxury and comfort with little attention given to power. The trio decided to combine the lavishness of motor yachts with the power of speedboats.

With the help of gifted yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni, in 1985 Pershing Yachts was launched. The first Pershing vessel, a 45′ open yacht, successfully embodied their vision, delivering power and speed in a sumptuous package. Pershing’s continuing commitment to innovation led to growing demand in a wider market. During the early 1990s the company gained worldwide popularity, expanding their market to include Mediterranean countries, the United States, and the Far East.

In 1998 the company joined the Ferretti Group, a leading enterprise in the luxury yacht sector, in a move that has increased Pershing’s presence in the American marketplace. The company’s inspired creations have garnered it multiple awards for creativity and innovation, and today it continues as one of the leading brands worldwide in the production of luxurious high performance motor yachts, with models ranging from 50 to 115 feet in length.

Pershing 140: the biggest thrill in Pershing’s history

Craftsmanship and expertise, generated over more than 30 years of spearheading experience, combine with an inborn thrust towards innovative design, technology and aesthetics, officially marking the brand’s entry into the superyacht sector: it is the launch of Pershing 140, the brand’s new flagship and the first Pershing to be manufactured in aluminium.

A result of the collaboration between architect Fulvio De Simoni, the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee (led by engineer Piero Ferrari), and the Group’s Engineering Department, the new 140-foot yacht is the first Pershing manufactured at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona. Developed into 3 spacious decks, the new flagship emanates prowess on water, showcasing the “thrill” that only Pershing can offer.

The project’s philosophy is based on the will to maintain Pershing’s unequalled performance, albeit with different class weights and dimensions: those of a superyacht. The hull platform was specifically designed for high performance, featuring excellent hydrodynamic capabilities at high speeds and the propulsion of 4 MTU 16V2000 M96L engines, each of 2,600 HP, thus achieving the target of taking the first 43.30-metre LOA Pershing superyacht to a top speed of 38 knots.

But Pershing 140 is not only the brand’s first superyacht to boast outstanding performance; it is also the first to feature a raised cockpit directly connected to the sun deck; the first to have an owner-dedicated area on the main deck and the first to maximise the enjoyability of all the decks and outdoor areas. This achievement was made possible by joining them all into a beach club area, which becomes expandable thanks to three fold-out sides.

Stylistically, the new flagship stands out for its sleek lines, emblematic of the brand’s sporty and competitive character. This feature is further enhanced by the on-demand application of a steel grid on the bow. Moreover, it combines design innovations with some of the brand’s most iconic details, such as the two lateral wings, that are integrated into its superstructure and then connected at the start of the walkways to the gunwale.

The prow, which is instead decidedly contemporary in design, contributes to enhance the model’s aerodynamics. The whole area of the bow moorings is concealed, operated with an automatic up/down mechanism to maintain the streamlined design aesthetic.

Turning now to the interior, Pershing 140 owners can design their superyacht assisted by the designers of the Studio Fulvio De Simoni Firm and by the Project Architects of the Superyacht Yard of Ferretti Group. The entire interior design is tailored to mirror the owner’s style, by making additions to or modifying the layout options offered by the shipyard.

The new Pershing 140 features an original layout of the aft area, configured as a raised cockpit that becomes a mezzanine level: this creates a large waterside space that rises from the water up to the sun deck and joins together the entire aft section. This revolutionary design produces a vast waterside beach club, entirely accessible and furnishable with stools, chairs and freestanding pieces.

The garage can accommodate both a Williams 565 tender and a jet ski. Launching and hauling operations are carried out by opening the two side hatches on the port side.

Around the cockpit, the mezzanine assures greater privacy: a first sunbathing area protects the second cockpit lounge against intrusive looks. The latter is furnished with a table seating 10 people that can be reached by walking down a few steps towards the bow, and it is protected on the sides by large glass panels installed on the topsides.

Designed to guarantee utmost comfort, this spatial solution enables the owner to enjoy an area that possesses all the benefits of sitting in an outdoors but private place, and facilitates the passage of guests, who can easily walk across outdoor areas or walk on the main deck and enter the saloon after passing through the lounge.

After walking through the glass door into the cockpit, you access an open space flooded with natural light and organised into two areas: first the living area, followed by the dining area.

The central area of the main deck leads to the crew quarters on one side and to the owner’s suite on the other side. On the left-hand side, a passageway ushers into the cockpit or into the day toilet. This area also hosts the master cabin. Still on the left-hand side, a door placed on the external walkway opens onto the stairs leading down to the area below decks, which accommodates the kitchen and the crew quarters.

On the opposite side, walking towards the bow, you first come to a hallway where stairs lead down to the guest suites. Proceeding further, you enter the owner’s quarters: a grand full beam owner’s private suite, that the owner can modify and decorate at will. Yard-fitted with a double bed, a walk-in closet on the left-hand side and a parlour on the right, it enjoys a magnificent view.

The large bathroom, fitted with a shower separated from the bathtub, as well as the toilet and bidet on the two topsides, is located at the head of the bow. On the first unit, the owner has decided to install an entertainment room, eliminating the bed to make room for sofas and seats, tables and a big TV screen.

The space below decks accommodates four comfortable guest suites, of which 2 have double beds and 2 have twin beds, all with their own closet and en suite bathroom.

Maximum comfort is also given to the crew area: after walking through a lobby, the staff can access a large kitchen on the left, separated from the dinette by a door on the right and, proceeding towards the bow, there are three bunk-bed bedrooms, all with a private bathroom. From the lobby, the crew can also have direct access to the engine room and to the garage.

Sundeck and bow area

The upper deck of the Pershing 140 is perfectly in line with the overall privacy assured to the central part, which is protected by an aluminium hard-top. Conceived as a spacious panoramic terrace, it is entirely furnishable with freestanding pieces, and it can be accessed by walking up from the mezzanine deck or from the raised cockpit. The latter is connected to the second control station, in case of wanting to steer the flagship from the outside. Perfect for entertaining, the upper deck also hosts a bar and grill area, a total-relaxation area with a sun pad and, exclusively on the first unit, a projector and screen (both removable) and fixed loudspeakers.

The ample forward outdoor spaces, only accessible through the lateral walkways, offer an area with a large sun pad just before a full-fledged concealed lounge equipped with a Jacuzzi, an inset dinette with two seats, a table and a sunbathing area. This area is only revealed when the yacht is anchored or moored while, during navigation, it is covered by a sliding platform, thus contributing to the streamlined sleekness of the external lines. The arrangement of this private area, as well as many others, can be completely tailored to the owner’s tastes.

Privacy Overview

In addition to the new "X Generation" series, Pershing Yachts has produced a vast range of yachts, all of which provide the famous Pershing Thrill. Here are some of those models from the past, present, and future.

PERSHING MODELS - PAST

PERSHING 62

If you are unfamiliar with boating but love speed on the road, then think of this as an extreme supercar. Experience the thrill of speeding over the sea at 48 knots on a 33.35 ton yacht with a ride aboard the Pershing 62 (no longer built).

The Pershing 62 meets the expectations of the Pershing thrill, with two MAN V12 1550 engines capable of reaching speeds of up to 48 knots. At an overall length of 62 feet 2 inches (18.94 

meters), this 33.35-ton yacht comfortably and luxuriously accommodates 14 people, and has three cabins and three heads onboard.

PERSHING 108

With high-performance and elegance, the Pershing 108 (no longer built) blends comfort, speed, and fuel efficiency. Three surface propellers give this yacht its range and low noise level, but with speed of over 42 knots, the Pershing 108 imparts the classic Pershing thrill.

With three MTU 16V engines, the Pershing 108 innovates as the first Pershing to allow flexibility with three surface propellers for extensive range and low noise. The helmsman can adjust cruising speeds and distance with the use of either one, two, or three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines. Comfortable cruising at 37 knots optimizes fuel consumption for a range of 330 nautical miles, while the Pershing thrill comes at high speeds topping 42 knots.

The Pershing 108 carries 20 passengers, and features four cabins with four heads, three crew cabins, and five heads. Her overall length is 109 feet (33.23 meters) with a 22-foot beam and a 6-foot draft.

PERSHING 115

Characterized by refinement and performance, the Pershing 115 (no longer built) blends traditional yacht elements with innovations for a high-performance motor yacht that features technological innovations for onboard entertainment and a domotics system for audio, video, lighting, utilities, and the systems.

The Pershing 115 carries a total of 10 passengers, with four cabins and three crew cabins.

PERSHING MODELS - PRESENT

PERSHING 74

The Pershing 74 is slender and sleek with a longer superstructure. Designed by Fulvio De Simoni and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, the yacht is a contemporary restyling of the Pershing 72 but with larger, opening, glass windows.

Spacious, at 74 feet 4 inches length overall (22.66 meters), the yacht features a salon connected with the cockpit and sidewalks. The lower deck houses the galley and three en-suite cabins. The cockpit leads to the crew area through a dedicated access, and also to the hidden sun deck through a fully retractable carbon staircase. A tender and a jetski can be stowed in the garage with a hydraulic lift system.

Powered by two MTU 12v 2000 M96L engines, the Pershing 74 can reach speeds up to 44 knots.

PERSHING 140

The Pershing 140 boasts being first on several angles: the innovative design is the first superyacht for the Italian shipyard and is the first all-aluminum yacht built by the company.

Also, the luxurious and powerful yacht design features pioneering layout ideas including:

• A beach club area that completely opens on three sides
• An expansive yacht owner's space located on the main deck
• The helm station is raised, directly connected to the sun deck 

The biggest thrill and the ultimate expression of the Pershing thrill, the Pershing 140 is 142 feet (43.30 meters) in length overall with a beam of 28 feet (8.55 meters), and a draft of 6 feet 8 inches (2.05 meters). Her MTU 16V2000 M96L engines are capable of a maximum speed of 38 knots, a cruising speed of 35 knots, and a range of 1400 nautical miles.

The Pershing 140 carries 18 passengers and features five cabins, seven heads, as well as four crew cabins with four crew heads.

Pershing 8X review: Italian stallion strikes a fine balance between space and speed

• The Pershing 8X achieved a top speed of 48.3 knots on test

Deep-vee hull still delivers high cornering speeds and dramatic angles of lean

The 8X’s extra beam is apparent from the spacious cockpit and sidedecks. Note how the glass saloon doors drop into the deck

Long overhang and tall coamings makes for a well-protected cockpit

• No sign of compromise in the luxurious saloon and dining area
• Visibility is good - including through the sunroof in hard turns!
• It has the length-beam ratio you would expect in a flybridge cruiser, with 5,276hp in its engineroom. This is not normal
• Elegant flybridge stairs are imtegrated into the curved pillar supports

Compact flybridge sits in a recess to lower its visual impact

• Full beam owner’s cabin makes the most of the extra width
• Ensuite bathroom is a temple of modern luxury
• The VIP suite’s location in the bow necessitates quite a tall bed

• One of the two twin guest cabins boasting wider beds and more space between them

Twin 2,638hp MTU engines feed their power through automated surface drives

• Superyachts

Luxury and engine power both demand acres of space, but performance boats need to be slender. Can Pershing’s latest creation pull off the ultimate spatial compromise?

The proof of the Pershing is in the handling. Few shipyards set quite so much store in their boats’ ability to corner with the kind of competence that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.

The trouble is, reputations can be lost as well as gained: just one new model whose talents are judged to be less than sparkling can undo all the respect so hard-won by its predecessors.

Pershing is not unique in this, of course. But it is unique in its efforts to yoke together high-tech sportsboat speed and handling with high-end Italian luxury. And it’s a task that is not getting any easier.

In its new Pershing 8X, the Ancona shipyard has faced up to the classic quandary that has exercised every yacht designer who has ever tried to get to grips with the problem of how to make a fast yacht luxurious – and vice versa.

Recommended videos for you

Luxury means comfort, and comfort requires space. Performance means power, and power – big engines, big tanks – needs space too. But you can’t just make a hull that’s voluminous enough to accommodate all these conflicting demands, because performance hulls have to be slender, and high-volume hulls don’t handle.

Or so they say – it seems that Pershing’s designers now beg to differ. The Pershing 82 , which this new model seems destined to replace in the product range, was 18ft 1in (5.50m) in the beam. The 8X is a couple of feet longer but a full 14in wider, at 19ft 3in (5.86m).

Pershing 7X yacht tour: This $3.2m sportscruiser can do 50 knots flat-out

That’s the sort of length-beam ratio you would expect to find in a family flybridge cruiser – except the Pershing 8X packs 5,276hp in its engineroom and has a pair of Top System surface drives sticking out at the back. This is not normal.

Size matters

The idea, of course, is to make the accommodation areas larger and more luxurious. The extra width is used to good effect on the main deck, where the saloon feels nice and wide even without compromising the side decks, as happened on the Pershing 82.

Perhaps the most spectacular improvement, however, is the cunningly concealed flybridge companionway inside that curved carbon coaming on the port side. The 82’s arrangement – a set of folding steps that dropped down from the deckhead – was less alliterative as well as less convenient.

Down below, the obvious place to look for extra width is in the gaps between the berths in the twin guest cabins. The berths themselves are also wider, as well as longer, and it’s the same story in the VIP and master suites . Headroom has been raised too.

The improved master suite layout in the Pershing 8X, making proper use of the visual qualities of an open, full-beam cabin, adds significantly to the sense of space on the lower deck. Like its predecessor, the 8X is available with a choice of one or two twin-berth guest cabins.

Significant extra width has the potential to create significant extra weight, which was obviously not an option in this case: the Pershing 8X simply had to perform at least as well as the 82, and there was no more horsepower available in the MTU 2000 series footprint.

So the superstructure is made entirely of lightweight carbon fibre, the mouldings are created from vacuum-infused epoxy resin instead of vinylester, and although a substantially bigger boat it comes out just 700kg heavier.

The hull form is a constant-deadrise, 20° deep-V – similar to the 82’s, with most of the extra beam going into wide chine flats that fill out amidships and carry on aft. So, in theory at least, the Pershing 8X will have the incisive seakeeping of a capable offshore boat , ironing out the chop, while extra lift from the broad chines should help with straight-line speed at the expense, perhaps, of cornering precision.

We put theory into practice on a balmy spring day off Fano, on the Italian Adriatic coast not far from Pershing’s Ancona shipyard. The new-generation 8X is loaded with electronic aids.

Surface-drive boats are often a handful for the helmsman – the racing boats for which they were originally designed had a two-person crew – and modern technology can ease the workload for leisure users, ensuring that drive trim is optimised for best speed and fuel consumption.

For the 8X, Pershing has worked with Xenta and Top System to produce a single-control interface that allows for joystick control at speeds up to 42 knots, automatic trim for the flaps and drive legs, and an automatic autopilot system that holds the heading without the need to engage the boat’s actual autopilot.

It works extremely well. So does the new hull shape. Pershing’s engineers explained that the extra lift from the chines helps not just with top speed, but also at transitional speeds between displacement and planing.

This phase of performance can be rather vague on surface-drive boats: a slight change in hull attitude or leg trim making a disproportionate contribution to boat speed, as the drives rise into thinner water, the props spin more quickly, and engine revs increase. You need to have your wits about you.

Plane sailing

On the Pershing 8X, this acceleration phase felt more predictable, although admittedly our speed still more than doubled between 1,500 and 2,000rpm. One tangible benefit of the extra lift is in low-speed planing. The boat was quite happy at 25 knots and 1,600rpm, although you won’t find that sweet spot going up the rev range. You have to decelerate to get there. All surface-drive boats have their idiosyncrasies.

With 400 more horsepower than its predecessor, slightly more weight and a lot more dynamic lift, our test 8X clocked an impressive two-way average of 48.3 knots in our sea trial – nearly two knots better than the similarly-loaded Pershing 82 we tested in 2012.

On a calm sea it was difficult to judge the quality of its seakeeping, but there were some firmer than expected impacts as we charged through our own wake at high speeds, which were probably down to those broad chines.

When it came to the boat’s driving experience, the 8X can certainly provide the superbly dramatic angles of heel in hard turns that Pershing aficionados love so much, when you have to look through the sunroof to see where you’re going.

It didn’t, perhaps, display quite the same razor-sharp tracking that has made these boats a byword for brilliant handling – but if you weren’t looking for flaws I doubt whether you’d notice any. This boat is powerful, fast and huge fun to drive.

It goes. It handles. And in spite of its unusually wide beam, and its uncharacteristically generous internal volume, it still feels like a proper Pershing where it counts – out at sea. With the 8X, the shipyard’s reputation is safe.

Pershing 6X Reviewed

• By Phil Draper
• April 1, 2022

Whenever I’m lucky enough to open the throttles on a Pershing , I’m reminded of a scene from The Gumball Rally , a silly road-race movie from the mid-1970s. It’s the bit just before two competitors set off in the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Spyder, the soft-top version of the iconic Daytona. The Italian driver turns to his copilot. With a gloved finger pointing sagely skyward, the driver declares: “And now, my friend, the first rule of Italian driving.” He then pauses for dramatic effect, rips the rearview mirror from the windshield, and tosses it high over his shoulder. “What’s behind me is not important.”

That scene always pops into my head aboard a Pershing because of the rooster tail that we’re inevitably throwing behind us. I recall a conversation I had around 25 years ago with my yachting journalist pal Dag Pike. We were aboard a Pershing, and I—having learned to sail at some overstarched royal yacht clubs in England—suggested that the giant arches of white water were over-the-top in more than one sense. “You’re focusing on the wrong end of the rocket,” Pike said. “They’re just the flames.”

Pershing’s 6X is the latest X-generation iteration of 56- to 62-foot designs that have been evolving for 20 or so years or so. All these latest Pershings, just like all those older models that have borne the name, are long and low—and seem to ooze performance from every pore.

The 6X is more muted than some of the older X-series models, probably because it doesn’t have buttress tunnels at the after end of the side decks. I like the lines with or without them. Hull No. 1 has trademark Pershing livery with dark silver metallic and black contrasts. The foredeck is so long that there are two sizable sun-pad areas, one before the other with room in between.

The yacht’s aft deck is a dedicated entertainment space with a bi-leaf pedestal table that’s both art and engineering in carbon fiber and wood. There’s also sailmaker exterior upholstery, which is a waterproof, weave-effect material that looks a bit like white carbon-fiber cloth. The door from the cockpit to the salon is a full-height pane of glass, and a big pane adjacent to it drops down to open up the inside to the outside.

The yacht’s bridge area is set up like a 21st-century starship with copilot and pilot seats, the latter flanked by throttles and thruster toggles to starboard and a Xenta joystick to port. The helm console bristles with buttons and has two multifunction displays along with Top System controls that indicate the up-down positions of drive legs and trim tabs. The helm seats can be pushed back on their tracks to create standing room around the wheel. And despite the extreme rake of the one-piece windshield, visibility is pretty good. A sunroof lets in fresh air.

The 6X’s oomph comes from twin 1,550 hp MAN V-12 diesels whisking out via the Top System surface drives. At about half-load and left in autotrim mode, the 6X I got aboard topped out at almost 49 knots. The vessel’s most efficient fast cruise is around 37 to 38 knots, at which the diesels burn around 3 gallons per nautical mile and offer an ultimate range of around 280 nautical miles. Machines like this are not really meant for meandering, but at 750 rpm, the 6X can chug along happily at 9 knots for maybe 360 NM. That pace would equate to 2.35 gallons of fuel burned per nautical mile—not much of a savings for scrubbing off 29 knots of speed.

All the Pershings I have run handled well, and this 6X is no different. The electrohydraulic steering is nicely geared and quick to respond. I appreciate the degree of heel the yacht delivers into the turns. The modified-V hull form has a 3.85-to-1 length-to-beam ratio and 19 degrees of deadrise aft, so it bites well.

These yachts are built at Pershing’s Mondolfo, Italy, facility, just up the east coast from Ancona. The builder does its part to minimize vessel weight—for every extra 1,100 pounds added to the 6X’s displacement beyond half-load, top speed will bleed off by about 1 knot—and owners can choose whether or not to do the same. The biggest and heaviest options for this yacht are a Seakeeper stabilizer and contents of the stern garage, which will accommodate up to a Williams Turbojet 325.

The interior of Hull No. 1 is mostly gray with reconstituted veneers from Italy’s Alpi company and a mix of decorative panels. It’s the best of Italian chic. The salon sole is wenge-finished with a dark sheen. The principal feature in the salon is a C-shaped sofa with a table.

Three en suite staterooms and the galley are belowdecks. The owner’s stateroom is a full-beam, amidships affair. The sleeping area with a forward-facing berth occupies around three-quarters of the beam. The en suite, screened by a pair of opaque-glass pocket doors, is up a step to starboard and has separate stalls for the toilet and shower, with a Corian splash top between.

The forepeak VIP has an aft-facing, diagonal berth and a shower room to port. A twin-berth stateroom is opposite the galley with a head that also serves as the day head.

A key aspect of the Pershing 6X is its 62-foot-2-inch length overall. For sure, it’s a big boat, but it’s not too big for owner-operators to run. For those who like to have a crewmember aboard or, perhaps, have an older child who likes a little more independence, a single-bunk cabin is beneath the portside cushions in the cockpit.

Luxury and performance are at the heart of Pershing, and the 6X hits both marks. Running this athletic express cruiser will keep operators focused on the front end of the rocket, while guests and spectators get to enjoy the flames.

Wide-Ranging

All Pershings present and past began with yacht designer Fulvio de Simoni. The builder’s current 54- to 140-foot portfolio includes eight models. The 6X slots between the 5X and 7X , with bigger sisters 8X and 9X . There’s also the Pershing 62 and 74, and then a jump from the all-composite models to the all-aluminum brand flagship, the Pershing 140. It’s a 395-gross-ton beast that’s capable of speeds up to 38 knots.

Coming Soon

Pershing is developing an all-new line of fast cruisers. Project TØ, or T Zero, was announced in 2019, but just one teaser rendering has been released thus far. The first model will reportedly have a length overall around 115 feet, triple water-jet propulsion and a top speed in the mid-30-knot range. It looks to have an asymmetric top-deck configuration too. Hull No. 1 is expected to splash this summer.

With two decks and a sportbridge, the GTX80 has a sprawling open layout that ensures guests feel connected to the sea. The main deck salon, for instance, has glazing that extends below the lateral walkways to ensure a view of the water even from the sofas. Another new development in the nearly full-beam saloon is the hybrid galley-bar, which connects the indoor lounge with the outdoor cockpit.

As for accommodation, the yacht is equipped with four comfy cabins that can sleep up to eight guests. It also has discreetly hidden crew quarters that can sleep two. The guest cabins are clad from top to bottom in sky-blue leather paneling and dotted with sculptural furniture, while the adjoining bathrooms are fitted with metallic lacquered panels. This contrast of finishes continues throughout the rest of the interior, with leather sofas in warm hues and cozy woods juxtaposing the colder metallic accents. Integrated lighting doubles as another striking design feature.

The exterior is nothing to sneeze at, either. The nifty stern platform can be moved to three different positions using the dual linear lift function: It can be raised to expand the aft living area, lowered to launch tenders, or left in the default position to function as a waterside lounge. At the opposite end, the foredeck is equipped with an oversized sun pad. To top it off, the sundeck spans nearly 250 square feet and is 60 percent larger than the category average.

Pershing 115’: the tenth hull of the flagship launched at Marina dei Cesari di Fano

Information.

Category    

Date     May 17 2013

Share this article:

16th May 2013 – The tenth hull of Pershing 115', flagship of the brand's fleet, among the world's leading manufacturers of high performance open motor yachts from 15 to 35 metres, was launched in the last few days at Marina dei Cesari, in Fano (Italy). The new launch represents an important result for the historic seat of the brand, the Mondolfo shipyard: the maxi yacht of 35 metres, representing the brand at its best, is characterized by refinement and performance. As a mark of the tradition which has made Pershing 115’ a timeless model, hull number 10 is characterized by sinuous, but decisive external lines with extraordinary performance, thanks to the collaboration between the architect Fulvio De Simoni, AYTD - Advanced Yacht Technology & Design - and the team of engineers and designers of the Ferretti Group. Among the technological innovations it is worth mentioning in particular the highly innovative on board entertainment and domotics system, which can manage the audio, video and lighting systems directly from connected Apple devices – such as the iPad and the iPhone – and also makes it possible to monitor the utilities and the systems on board. Pershing 115’#10 is a unique yacht of its own kind and it is worth noting the innovative slide in the stern garage that facilitates launching manoeuvres and the storage of a tender and the new type of opening from the bow hangar, which is in line with the family feeling of the Pershing ships: characteristics that contribute to making this new 115’ a perfect balance between the traditional elements and some of the new innovations of the most recent models. Pershing 115’#10 has a layout with four cabins (an Owner's suite and three guest cabins), which can host a total of ten people, and three crew cabins with five beds. A distinctive feature of every Pershing 115’ is the personalisation that contributes to making the flagship of the fleet a unique product, varying from one model to another and which can be customized according to the Owner’s needs. The peculiarity of this model is the elegance that distinguishes its interior design, characterized by the essence of a texture with grey tones, which combines well with the classic metallic outdoor areas and the hull, creating continuity among the various areas of the yacht. Distinctive are also the numerous Alcantara™ fittings, with sandy and ecru tones, present in the roof, wall and door finishes, which make Pershing 115#10 a vessel with an extremely contemporary style. The boat is motorized by two MTU 3510 mhp engines combined with the applied thrust of two Kamewa hydro-jets. Nada Serafini, Sales Manager EMEA of Pershing, expressed the enthusiasm of the brand and the Ferretti Group: “The launching of hull number 10 of the fleet flagship is for all of us a reason for great pride and it confirms the ability of the brand to make more and more unique and strongly avant-garde products. A boat that is tailor-made for the ship owner, the perfect expression of the values that distinguish the brand, namely, innovation, comfort, performance, design and class, with a spirit that is always oriented towards the future and the next challenge.”
