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 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.

The Pershing GTX80 is synonymous with fun, total control and unchallenged supremacy.

Characterised by beautifully seamless connections between the internal and external spaces, this new GTX80 design follows in the wake of the GTX range’s flagship, launched in spring 2023, and reprises the philosophy that inspired this new generation of sports boats, that of raising on-board comfort and liveability to new levels, along with the excellent performance and extreme sportiness encoded in Pershing’s DNA.

The splendid result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Vallicelli Design, and the Group’s Engineering Department, the hull was built at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mould facility, bringing together advanced technologies and Pershing’s signature craftsmanship.

At around 24 metres long and 5.80 metres in the beam, this new design in the GTX range is characterised by generous open spaces, areas in direct contact with the sea, maximum on-board liveability and excellent performance. The yacht has two decks and a sportbridge and can comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests thanks to the new four-cabin layout. There is also a cabin with two beds for the crew. Pershing GTX80 is a masterpiece of balance and architectural harmony in which design meets technology to elevate and transform a sporty motor yacht into a work of avant-garde nautical art.

Exterior design and main features

Pershing GTX80 is the result of an in-depth study of proportions in which the external lines show an impressively refined volumetric equilibrium between superstructure and hull, giving the model an architectural harmony that is new for sports motor yachts of this size.

The exterior lines in this new design are characterised by the Pershing brand’s signature stylistic elements and innovative choices. One example of this combination is the profile of the hull, which has a near vertical bow and a continuous, slightly convex sheer-line.

In another striking feature, the bulwarks in the bow section have been lightened by a longitudinal slot, while those in the stern have a dual function, both incorporating the winches and converting into lateral terraces that swing down to provide even more contact with the water. The stern platform has three different positions, making it an extremely important feature of the boat. It can be left in the default position, or raised using the dual linear lift function so that it extends and integrates the aft living area, together with the lateral terraces when open. It can also be used to launch the tenders.

The sundeck is very spacious – at 23 m2 it’s 60% larger than the category average – but at the same time guarantees internal space of gran turismo proportions. This effect is partly due to the sleekly dynamic arch-shaped deckhouse and the carbon fabric hard-top – the real novelty of this model and an optional – which offers the perfect way to lighten up the superstructure, guaranteeing maximum performance and maintaining a chromatically uniform finish.

Interior design and layout

The interior design reflects Pershing’s cruising style and approach to life on board, both extremely dynamic. The new Pershing GTX80 brings owner and guests even closer to the sea, not least thanks to the layout of the main deck saloon, where the configuration of the exterior glazing – which extends below the lateral walkways – ensures seamless visual contact with the water, even when sitting on the sofas.

Still on the main deck, the generous interior volumes are obtained with a partially full-beam saloon, offering better liveability and an innovative approach to the decor, designed for conviviality and informal use.

Another new development in this area is the innovative layout of the open galley-bar, which is fully integrated into the lounge setting and opens out onto the cockpit, acting as the main hub connecting and enhancing the painstaking interior design work on the main deck.

Sculptural architecture is a feature of all Pershing GTX80’s interiors, showcasing seamless interconnection between the lounge and the cockpit, which is also illuminated by lighting integrated in the ceiling. The division of the lacquered ceiling panels with metallic silver paint creates an interplay of intersecting diagonal LED lights, ensuring uniform light diffusion across the entire deck – from exterior to interior – with a pared-down design that focuses on multiple angles.

The highly customised interior decoration is epitomised by the master cabin, which is clad from top to bottom in cloud-effect sky blue leather panelling, applied with different spacings and widths, in the ultimate expression of the style concept underpinning this new project.

The colour pairings have been chosen to point up contrasts, with the leather sofas in pale but warm colour tones combined with colder steel-effect metallic lacquer, just as the sky blue leather in the cabins is juxtaposed with the warmer feel of the theme wood. All the bathroom areas have metallic lacquered panels on the walls and feature sculptural furniture in a sky blue similar to the leather in the cabins. The spacious, comfortable cabins guarantee maximum privacy for guests with respect to the crew quarters, which are accessed from the outdoor cockpit area through a door under the staircase leading up to the flybridge, hiding it from view.

In perfect Pershing style, this new project speaks the language of technology, not only in terms of the engineering, but also as a stylistic hallmark enhanced by the materials chosen for this extremely comfortable environment. The various settings use materials featuring tones that are evocative of steel, water and electricity. Each material is also powerfully three-dimensional: from metallic lacquers to sky blue leather, all the surfaces are enhanced by finishings that are never repetitive and colour tones that often change depending on the point of view.

The raised helm station in the bow has 360-degree visibility, thanks in part to the huge windshield with no central pillar and the extensive use of continuous glazing. A sunroof above the windshield can be opened for natural ventilation.

Propulsion and technology

Pershing GTX80 is a planing boat equipped with three 1,000 mhp VOLVO PENTA D13 IPS1350 engines that reaches a top speed of 34 knots (preliminary data) and a cruising speed of 28 knots. The yacht will have CE Class A certification, the safest for boats under 24 m.

Pershing yachts

Performance.

The pershing way.

A Pershing Yacht is where the delight of the sea meets the excitement of flawless performance. A creature born of science and romance. The perfect symbiosis of innovative thinking and soul-filling emotions. Pershing’s long line of solutions and real innovations have gone down in history. Like the adoption, on all our models, of surface propeller transmission, able to guarantee the right balance of performance and consumption in any condition, gas turbines with centralised hydro jet propulsion, for over 5100 hp of power and the ingenious solution of the disappearing glass door that merges the inside with the outside in one seamlessly spectacular space. Music Hull, the revolutionary sound diffusion system that enables music to be heard even under the water level through the hull, is just another example together with the use of carbon fibre, lighter and more resistant, for mind-blowing performance.

Pershing has always been known for delivering the most powerful experience on the sea. The obsession for speed beats fast in Pershing customers as well as in anyone involved in the production of a Pershing yacht, the result of a supreme combination of aerodynamics, mechanics and materials, stemmed from state-of-the-art racing technology. From the engine to the interior decor, there is no single item on a Pershing yacht that prevents the boat from reaching the highest speed on the sea. Because a Pershing is not driven. It is piloted, just like a fighter jet or a racing car.

From the Pershing diaries.

More pershing design.

The most beautiful lines, always ahead of time.

Over more than thirty years of history, Pershing has been for sailing what top-name stylists have been for fashion: a benchmark and ambassador for beauty and Italian style.

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.

Highlights of Pershing Models Past, Present, and Future

Aug 30, 2021

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 MODELS - FUTURE

PERSHING 170 PROJECT

The creation of the Pershing 170 Project is underway with the creative guidance of naval architect Fulvio De Simoni. Designed as a high-performance superyacht, this impressive top-of-the-line yacht will expand upon the cutting-edge design and construction of the Pershing 140.

Ferretti's shipyard in Ancona will manufacture the 170-foot steel and aluminum flagship yacht.

With the collaboration between architect Fulvio De Simoni, the Strategic Product Committee, and Ferretti Group Engineering Department, the Pershing 170 will have a length overall of 170 feet (51.82 meters).

Project TØ is a new aesthetic and emotional experience. A leap forward in the world of avant-garde yachting. The latest chapter in Pershing long's history of revolutions, Project TØ is both a result of innovative thinking and a big engineering challenge: the encounter of two opposite yachting worlds. A new segment where the full pleasure of the sea meets the unmistakable Pershing DNA.

Everything About Pershing Yachts – The History & Story

• Everything About Pershing Yachts –…

Pershing Yachts have been known to rule the yachting industry for a long time. Call it their classy appearance, unbeatable mileage, or expandable variety, Pershing yachts’ history continues to reign. The Pershing yacht was the fruit of the friendship of three incredibly talented Italians who shared a common passion for cruising and the sea. From its first-ever construction through its current revival, the Pershing Yachts’ history has been ever-evolving.

As a proud member of the world-famous Ferretti Group, Pershing’s remarkable performance, superior quality materials, and dream interiors garnered the yacht’s worldwide reputation for its performance. Pershing yachts continue to reign the yachting world with their commendable features and exclusive designs, thus consistently topping the buyer’s list.

Let us dive in deep and learn more about the legacy of the Pershing yachts and the high demand for Pershing Yachts for sale.

Introduction to Pershing Yachts’ History

In 1981, talented creators Tilli Antonelli, Giuliano Onori, and Fausto Filippetti came together to create Cantieri Navali dell’Adriatico in the tiny town of Mondolfo, Italy. Cantieri Navali dell’adriatico was their first yacht ever. Later on, intrigued by the design of high-functioning motor yachts, they started by constructing laminate boats. During that period, motor yachts were engineered to deliver extreme luxury and comfort with minimal attention given to the engine. The trio assessed both these qualities and figured out a way to combine the luxury of motor yachts with the strength of speedboats.

With the assistance of the brilliant yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni, Pershing Yachts came into existence in 1985. The first Pershing vessel (a 45′ open yacht) successfully reflected their vision, delivering strength, speed, and luxury. Pershing’s solid commitment to evolution led to growing demand globally. During the early 1990s, the brand earned worldwide fame, urging owners to expand their market to include the United States, Mediterranean countries, and the Far East.

In 1998, the company joined hands with the Ferretti Group – a shining enterprise in the luxury yacht industry. This collaboration greatly impacted the Pershing Yachts and highlighted its presence in the American yacht market. The company’s versatile creations garnered several awards for creativity and development. Today, the new Pershing Yachts are one of the leading brands in producing high-performance motor yachts globally. Pershing yacht models range between 50 to 115 feet and have a pleasing exterior.

Features of New Pershing Yachts

It is not just the efficiency and design of the Pershing yachts that separate it from the rest of the yacht industry. Pershing yachts are engineered with various intricate details and are crafted to suit all purposes and standards of the buyers. Here are a few notable features of the yacht.

• The craftsmanship of the Pershing yacht has a vacuum-infused lamination system. The Yacht’s preliminary design includes the trio of the deck and a solid fiberglass hull, which is environment-friendly and offers optimum performance.
• As we know, natural light is one of the primary requirements of a luxury yacht. Every Pershing yacht for sale is equipped with rounded windows with a single windscreen to allow natural light to penetrate the yacht.
• Pershing 74 and 82 are in high demand for their sundeck and impressive fiber stairs that elevate the cruiser to relax under the sun. The stair is auto-hydraulic in nature and disappears when not in use. This allows the users not to compromise the cockpit area or their luxury.
• Last but not least, the Pershing yacht is an unbeatable choice in its first-class leather interior furnishings, customizable design, auto-hydrated staircase, durable glass doors, luxurious well-furnished bedroom, and much more.

Pershing 115

It takes something very special to impress the jilted residents of the exclusive French town of St. Tropez. Years ago we brought this depot for the rich and famous to a standstill arriving with Virgin Atlantic Challenger II, but we had just set a record across the Atlantic. Sprinting into the port with the striking new, 40-knot Pershing 115 did not quite have the same impact, but this beautiful yacht did stop onlookers in their tracks as they stood and stared.

With the 115, Pershing joins a select band of boatbuilders who are going over the 100-foot mark, taking a quantum leap from the 88-foot former flagship design. This yacht has twice the volume of anything Pershing has ever built. Moreover I was on the first hull and for a prototype design they have done a really superb job of meeting their design and perfomance goals.

Pershing boss Till Antonelli is justifiably proud of the 115. “We knew there was a market out there for a larger Pershing and I think we took a bold step in making the jump straight from 88 to 115 feet. The result is there for all to see and it is a tribute to our new factory and the people who work there, Antonelli says.

The power behind this monster is a pair of 16 cylinder MTU diesels from the 4000 range that produce 3,700 hp each. These engines are huge and they seem to stretch forever along the engine compartment. They are coupled to ZF gearboxes and then the drive goes to KaMeWa water jets in what proved to be a very smooth power train. The water jets are unique in that the inlet ducts of the jets are an integral part of the hull molding which gives a better water flow to the impellers and improves their efficiency.

The two diesels have ample space between them and you see the reason for this when you look aft and see the molding in place for a third water jet. This gives the option to install a centerline TF50 gas turbine to bring the total power up to 13,000 hp. Now you are talking real excitement, and this installation is planned for the next unit that is already under construction. Look for speeds of over 55 knots from this second yacht, speeds that are squarely situated in the Pershing performance territory.

Access to the engine compartment is via a door in the cockpit which leads first to an auxiliary room with the switchboard, watermaker and air conditioning. Forward of this are the crew’s quarters and galley. Stairs lead up from the galley directly into the saloon, close by the dining table, and there is also a dumbwaiter for larger trays. The galley is fitted with all you need for sophisticated meal preparation and the styling, even in these working areas of the yacht, is a close match to the stunning guest areas.

Back aft, the swim platform that protects the water jets is bigger than the average sportsboat. Stairs lead up on both sides to the cockpit, and between them is the garage for the Zodiac tender together with its launching crane. You don’t need to skimp on the water toys on this yacht because there is a second garage that is revealed by raising part of the forward coach roof, housing two jet skis with another launching crane.

The 115 is full of more surprises and one of them comes from opening the door on the right of the saloon entrance. Here there is a stairway winding up to a very private sun deck sitting above the pilothouse. I was trying to determine why there was no sunroof on this yacht similar to those found on other Pershings-this sun deck was the reason. There is another, more public sunpad in the cockpit together with settees and a table, but the upper area is going to be everybody’s favorite.

The sliding saloon doors make an impressive entrance and walking into the saloon takes your breath away. There is none of the rich wood panelling so often found on superyachts, but here the designers have created a beautiful and light, almost minimalistic area with only the dining chairs and the blue leather locker fronts providing color. The settees are white leather, the woodwork a very pale gray-tinted ash, and the sides and overhead a very pale cream.

Quality is enhanced by integral modern artwork above the entrance door and on two of the side window pillars. The relaxing lounge area is aft and a dining table for 10 is forward in a open plan arrangement. Forward at the helm there are three imposing adjustable seats that create what looks like an altar to high performance.

The captain sits in the center chair, which is flanked by the engine and jet controls fitted into the armrests. Here he is master of all he surveys and he really can play tunes with the sensitive machinery controls. In front of him there are seven screens that provide all the information needed for high speed navigation and control, plus sophisticated monitoring systems. The latter have been specially developed by Pershing to control and monitor everything on board except the main engines. The engines have their own MTU dedicated displays and there is a separate display for monitoring the water jet. Large Simrad radar and chart displays provide a full picture of the navigation scene.

A couple of steps down from saloon level takes you into what is virtually a private cinema. Wide lounging settees and chairs face a big flat screen that can be fed from video, DVD or cable or satellite TV. This will be a popular evening relaxing area. Another stairway takes you to the staterooms where the layout is about the only conventional thing on this yacht: a master, a VIP and two twin cabins.

These are all decorated in a similar minimalistic style but with strong colors added through the leather bed bases, the mirror trims and the bright silk bed covers. The result is both modern and restful, with the spacious master stateroom occupying the full beam and featuring an angled bed and deep side windows to give natural light. The VIP stateroom in the bow is almost semi-circular in shape and large enough to have its own settee.

The heads have the same pale gray wood and modern fittings, including hemispherical glass basins. The soles here are wood but have metal strip inserts to give good grip when wet. The extravagant quality of the master stateroom can be seen in the fitting of his-and-her heads for the use of the owners.

The interior of this yacht may be stunning but it is the exterior styling that really sets the scene. The hull has the navy blue and silver combination that was pioneered by Pershing and has since been copied by many. This color scheme complements the series of rising curves that forms the superstructure and, like so much about this design, everything looks well integrated. The practical aspects of the design have been well thought out in most areas, but you only really appreciate the true quality of this yacht out on the water at speed.

We ran the 115 from Cannes to St.Tropez, which is a well-worn path for fast motoryachts. You appreciate one of the qualities of water jet drive with the very delicate maneuvering that is possible with this big yacht. Despite her size you can inch her forward or sideways delicately close to the dock, yet she will spin like a top when you need a quick response. It takes some skill and familiarity with the controls to get to this level of control but the effort is well worthwhile.

Out at sea the response is immediate and thrilling. The thrust from the jets powers the yacht onto plane and keeps it accelerating right up to its terminal velocity. The lack of vibration is impressive, and steering control is delicate and precise when you switch from the steerable joystick controls to the wheel steering. For trim adjustment, the 115 uses the latest interceptor system rather than trim tabs and these give an immediate response that reduces the adjustment period.

On our run down to St.Tropez we had a race with the TGV high-speed train along the coast. The train won that one, but there was no doubt we were fastest on the water that day. Pershing has found just the right balance in this yacht. This design has all the style you want to impress others, both inside and out, yet this is combined with very comfortable living on board. As for performance, 40 knots will meet most requirements but if you want to outrun everything on the water then you can always invest in the gas turbine option. Then maybe, you might even beat that train.
