Pershing turns forty 2
Mondolfo, June 24th, 2025

This year, Pershing proudly marks its 40th anniversary, celebrating a legacy of passion for the sea and a commitment to innovation in the yachting world.

This milestone reflects four decades of outstanding designs and remarkable performance, making Pershing a hallmark of sporty luxury and Italian craftsmanship.

**A BRIEF HISTORY**
Everything started in the early 1980s when three friends founded Cantiere Navale dell’Adriatico 1°. Initially focused on repairing wooden boats, they revolutionized the industry in 1985 with the launch of the Pershing 45, which combined powerboat speed with motoryacht comfort. This success positioned Pershing as a leader in innovation. The acquisition by the Ferretti Group in 1998 further bolstered its growth, and the Weichai Group’s involvement in 2012 expanded its international presence.

**INNOVATION AND DESIGN**
Since the launch of the Pershing 45, the shipyard has excelled in merging high performance with cutting-edge design. Innovations such as surface-piercing propeller systems and water jets on the Pershing 115 transformed yachting performance. The brand also prioritized design, implementing features like hydraulic gangways and sliding glass doors, while the aesthetics include sleek lines and spacious, well-appointed interiors. The fleet today includes the Generation X series and the new GTX range, which emphasize a balance of power, comfort, and luxury. The Pershing 140, the brand’s first all-aluminum superyacht, symbolizes its ambitious vision and meticulous attention to detail.

**CRAFTSMANSHIP IN MONDOLFO**
For 40 years, Pershing has been crafting boats in Mondolfo at a state-of-the-art facility designed for efficiency and quality. With dedicated spaces for various models, including the GTX series, and specialized processes like PPG-certified dry painting, every Pershing yacht boasts exceptional craftsmanship and a luxurious finish. In summary, Pershing's journey over the past 40 years has been one of groundbreaking innovation, design excellence, and a passion for the yachting experience.
