Coming Soon: Pershing 80'

May 2008 - A wind of change continues to blow up from the Adriatic coast, Pershing Yachts. Over past weeks, the shipyard and engineering department have been absorbed in the final stages of a major new project, the launch of the new Pershing 80’. This model, which is now almost ready for unveiling, has inherited two very important qualities from the Pershing 72’, a craft that enjoyed remarkable commercial success and visibility in 2007. The new Pershing 80’, brainchild of yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni, once again succeeds in offering owners exceptional performance. On the standard version, two powerful 2030 mhp MTU engines combine with ASD 15L surface propellers to guarantee a peak speed of 44 knots, whereas a faster version with two 2435 mhp MTU engines offers an incredible peak speed of 50 knots at 1/3 loaded displacement.

The Pershing 80’s is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2008, followed by an unveiling to the public at the Monaco International Boat Show. There are many elements that give this yacht an edge over its competitors. First and foremost, the yacht’s construction process uses the “Scrimp System”, a fiberglass vacuum molding process for that significantly reduces voids in the laminate and increases strength. Secondly, the boat boasts numerous exclusive features, such as the elegant slideaway glass partition, designed in collaboration with Besenzoni. Originally used on the Pershing 72’, this feature has been further developed and now includes two separate sections that make the option of closing the cockpit off from the upper saloon even more modular.

Alternatively the owner can choose to join these two environments together to create a huge and harmonious open space, all on the same level. This versatile area is completed by another special Pershing 80’ feature, the extendable-retractable hard top. The cockpit is also spacious and luxuriously finished to ensure it can be enjoyed without any disturbances. The stern sundeck has been designed so it is completely independent from the opening of the garage, which includes a foldaway platform for easy watertoy launching. Boarding convenience is via an ingenius gangplank, which doubles as a swimming ladder and a walkway onto the quay when the craft is moored. The dinette in the bow is also a new addition, especially when combined with the versatile, modular sundeck that boasts a bimini top.
