The latest model from the Pershing shipyards, the 8X triumphed at the 2021 Motor Boat Awards in the Custom Yachts category. Indeed, with its speed, manoeuvrability, comfort and sports design, this beautiful 83ft (25.55m) baby is setting new standards. SoBARNES takes you on board.
Established in 1985 in Mondolfo, on the Adriatic Sea, Pershing is a fairly recent brand, but ask any sports yachting enthusiast what they think of it, and chances are you’ll see that starry-eyed look come over them! With impeccable design and avant-garde technology in the service of Italian sporting luxury, these yachts have conquered the United States and Asia for their ease of use and comfort of the highest level, in particular. In short, the maritime version of squaring the circle.
Entirely made of carbon fibre, the 8X is thus light (for its category), fast and significantly lighter on fuel consumption than its competitors. And it achieves this without sacrificing on living space, starting with the main deck, which is organized into three separate spaces: lounge, dining area, and helm station. What’s more the latter is considered a masterpiece of design, upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather:
Impossible to give all of the details of the leisure and comfort facilities which add to the pleasure of life aboard this yacht, equipped with 4 double cabins. But we have a particular favourite, in 100% SoBARNES style: the hull is equipped with an audio system that transforms it into a loudspeaker, allowing you to listen to music underwater while diving or swimming!
As for the engine, the 8X is equipped with twin 16V engines delivering 2,435 Mhp each, giving her a cruising speed of 38 knots and a maximum range of 320 nautical miles (600 km), as well as a navigation system enabling unprecedented ease of manoeuvrability in the tightest of harbour spaces. Incidentally, Pershing is part of the Ferretti Group, which also owns Riva. There’s nothing like Italian style...
