The stars of the Bahia Mar Yachting Centre will be the three-engine Pershing 108’ superyacht and the innovative Pershing 74’ yacht, both of which were designed, like the rest of the fleet, by the Yacht Designer Fulvio De Simoni in collaboration with AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology – the naval research and design centre of the Ferretti Group) and the team of architects and designers of the Centro Stile Ferretti Group.

Customizable layout, innovative technology and exclusive design are the three “engines” that drive luxury yacht Pershing 108’, a prestigious 32.90 metre maxi vessel ready to show off its charm on the most important American catwalk.

Exclusive versatility, elegance and performance are the strengths of this boat which takes environmental impact into consideration: in fact, the engine is for the first time divided into three, with the objective of ensuring a high level of performance without neglecting the reduction in fuel consumption. Thanks to its three surface propellers Pershing 108′ yacht reaches a top speed of more than 42 knots with great silence, which makes it possible to have a unique and rare atmosphere onboard.

However, it is customization that Pershing 108’ yacht excels in: every little detail of this boat has been designed to meet the clients’ needs, making them the real “architects” of their own yacht, thanks to the innovative layout that offers more and more varied spaces that can be adapted to the various on board situations. From this perspective, the number 1 model of Pershing 108’ has a completely customizable below deck layout, including a spacious VIP cabin at the bow, a guest cabin, a TV or family room and a full beam master cabin amidships.

It is worth mentioning the interior design that bears the best Made in Italy brands: in fact, the elegance of the interiors is taken care of down to the least detail thanks to exceptional long-standing partners such as Poltrona Frau and Ernestomeda, besides the prestigious stylistic innovations chosen by the Owner of the first hull of Pershing 108’, that has chosen Fendi Casa – Club House Italia and Armani Casa solutions.

There has also been an overseas debut for motor yacht Pershing 74’, the contemporary and modern restyling of Pershing 72’ yacht, one of the brand’s symbolic models that has been an authentic turning point for the design, anticipating the tastes and the trends of the nautical world. 22.66 metres long and 5.50 metres wide, this new model, which has two MTU Common Rail engines of 1950 hp with Searex propulsion and high performing Rolla surface piercing propellers, reaches a maximum speed of 45 knots while maintaining a high level of comfort.

Technology is protagonist, starting from the retractable door between the cockpit and the saloon, which combines the external with the internal areas into a single area to fully exploit the spaces and to have direct contact with the sea. It is worth noting the presence of the sun-deck, a further social area that can be used by the guests on board and which can be accessed via a central staircase in carbon steel, which can be lowered automatically, with electro-hydraulic commands, into the cockpit.

With her master cabin, VIP cabin and guest cabin, luxury yacht Pershing 74’ can host up to six people – seven, if one includes the pull out bed in the guest cabin on the left – and two crew members, thanks to the layout below deck that aims at enhancing the concept of comfort and onboard liveability. The collaboration with the prestigious brand Poltrona Frau has brought about furnishings and fixtures, and leather seats and ceilings which, in all the areas, combine the Pershing style to value, quality craftsmanship and the typical functionality of the Poltrona Frau creations.

In addition to these previews, two other appreciated models of the fleet are being exhibited:  Pershing 64’ yacht, a great model of the design and technology branded Pershing, with all the space and luxury found on boats with flybridges, in an open yacht with contemporary lines and sporty performance, and superyacht Pershing 92’, a model with a slender and sleek profile that provides maximum on board comfort, offering an internal and external combined area and extraordinary adaptability of spaces.
