The 140-footer is the first Pershing designed at the Superyacht Yard, a facility which specializes in building mega yachts above 40 meters. Its innovative aluminum design features both unique characteristics as well as iconic elements used in recent models that mark the brand’s distinction. No less is expected from Pershing, who continually bring excellence to the world of superyachts.

The new model was created from a brilliant collaboration between architect Fulvio De Simoni and Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, led by engineer Piero Ferrari, as well as their Engineering Department and will be presented to the public in the coming months.

The aft area features a raised cockpit allowing for more sea-facing space and plenty of room to sit back and relax throughout the forward area. Also worth mentioning is the spacious terrace which offers a beautiful panoramic experience of the surrounding views. A lounge bar, along with dining and entertainment areas, can be found on the main deck. Privacy is not forgotten, though. Four suites, including two with king-size beds, can be found below decks.

“Anyone’s who’s sailed on a Pershing is familiar with the adrenaline rush that kicks in with every turn: it is a unique feeling, akin to flying through the waves, that deserves to be experienced in the utmost comfort. And this new flagship embodies the highest expression of the ‘Pershing thrill’,” said Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group.
