The new Pershing model continues to be a huge success and on January 17, the third unit was launched in the port of Fano. With a powerfully sporty character and superlative liveability, this yacht is bursting with innovation and excitement and revolutionises the cruising experience, taking it into a new dimension. This yacht christened “BYEEE...” was built for a European owner and great fan of Ferretti Group boats, so much so that this is his second purchase.

The third Pershing GTX116 unit is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department, confirming her sporty heritage while enhancing the concept of comfort by providing plenty of open-air space and areas designed to provide even more direct contact with the water. A unique yacht with a hull over 35 metres in length and 7.70 metres in the beam.

The sleek, streamlined silhouette points up the brand’s sporty personality and references luxury SUV automotive imagery, strongly identifying the new Pershing GTX116 as an SUY – Sport Utility Yacht. This third unit is elegant and sophisticated at first glance. The exterior of the superstructure and sundeck area are classic Pershing grey, while the hull, the forward and aft sunpad areas and the winch feature a special metallic anthracite colour – a more innovative darker shade than the units launched previously – and the lateral terrace and hard top feature an elegant dark grey. The final exterior feature is the extensive glazing, which floods the interiors with natural light and creates an intimate interplay between interior and exterior.

The main deck is home to the spacious salon, in which sophisticated furnishings amplify the setting by creating as much space as possible. The room’s layout features a large dining table with a leather top and a frame clad in dark brown upholstery. The saddlé caffé colour Poltrona Frau sofa pairs perfectly with the pale beige and grey shades used for the decor. As was the case on the first unit, here too the owner has decided not to open up a direct passageway between the living space and the galley, keeping the two areas separate. The taupe oak parquet floor by Listone Giordano pairs perfectly with the elegance of the rest of the interior design and gives the setting a warm feel. The galley is fitted with a fridge and freezer for supplies. The colour palette is maintained in this setting too, creating continuity with the salon by choosing shades such as titanium and grey for the cupboard doors.

Moving into the cockpit, we find a large teak table and an extending, adjustable-height table that uses the bench for seating, and aft of them a large sunpad on the same level. While on the level below, in a space separated from the cockpit, the beach area and its comfy sunloungers create the ideal setting in which to spend relaxing moments in increasingly seamless contact with the water. In the yacht’s bow area are a generous sunpad, two removable tables and a small bar area with two fridges. This new feature replaces the 6-person Jacuzzi proposed by the shipyard and chosen for the first and second units.

Finally, the lower deck contains three guest cabins in a space that is also home to the master cabin, which features a Poltrona Frau double bed with a crow black bed head and slate colour finishings. The decor, which contrasts dark and pale colour shades, is paired with the desk, the side cabinets, the bedside tables and the taupe-coloured bed head in a clear reference to the colour palette chosen for this third unit. The master bathroom is another design exercise in pursuit of space and absolute comfort. The framework is a setting containing three interior areas, with two entrances, two regular showers and a central waterfall shower. The aluminium herringbone mosaic by Metalborder creates an even more luxurious feel in a space that perfectly combines technology and elegance.

The garage can contain a jet ski and two water toys, while the exclusive 39-square-meter beach club has a teak deck protected by an electro-hydraulic taffrail that opens up to connect the beach area with the swim platform, creating a huge space at the water’s edge.

The 40-square-meter sundeck, reached from the stern area via two outdoor stairways on either side of the yacht, features modern furnishings with modular sofas designed by Minotti. This convivial but refined layout is designed to provide generous spaces in which to fully enjoy life on board.

The third Pershing GTX116 unit is equipped with a triple water jet propulsion system, which can be paired with three MAN V12 2000 engines each rated 2,000 mhp (optional) for a top speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots. The standard engines are three MAN V12 1800 units rated 1,800 mhp.

Mondolfo – 14 September 2023

Innovative, disruptive, thrilling. Revolutionary in its concept and design, the new Pershing GTX116 interprets the trends of the moment to create the first Sport Utility Yacht, a unique product designed for comfort and extreme liveability and true to the brand’s DNA, characterised by high performance and a sporty attitude.

The flagship of the new GTX range, featuring elegant and aerodynamic exterior styling, is 35 metres long and over seven metres in the beam, offering generous open spaces, areas in direct contact with the water and exceptional onboard liveability, all without making any trade-offs in terms of superior performance. The yacht has two decks and an upper sportfly that can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests thanks to the new five-cabin layout, plus three cabins for five crew members. Pershing GTX116 is masterpiece of cutting-edge naval design that takes the experience of yachting into a new dimension by understanding customers’ needs as only Pershing knows how.

The splendid result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni and the Group’s Engineering Department, the hull was built at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mould facility and brings together advanced technologies and Pershing’s signature craftsmanship.

With its strikingly sporty and characterful lines, this new GTX range yacht comes in a shade of Montecarlo grey chosen with a nod to the gran turismo automotive tradition. Extensive glazing bathes the interiors with natural light while offering up spectacular marine panoramas.

Thanks to the experience of the Ferretti Group and Studio De Simoni teams, the distribution and use of space on Pershing GTX116 is extremely intelligent, with a fluid flow system connecting the generous internal and external living areas – including the two stairways built into the superstructure that link the main deck and the sportbridge – as well as allowing natural light to flood in.

Some of the external features, such as the ventilation grills and windshield visor, were produced for the first time using 3D printing technology to obtain subtly unconventional geometries. The stern garage can accommodate a jet tender up to 5.2 metres long and a jet ski, while hidden in the bulwark is a crane to facilitate moving the water toys into and out of the water.

With a design approach that ensures seamless interconnection, the exteriors and interiors of the new Pershing GTX116 become part of the same space, facilitating onboard flows and enhancing the liveability of the areas involved.

For the interiors, Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design envisaged lavishly-sized modern spaces that perfectly embody this model’s innovative personality. The interior design concept is defined by a dialogue between dark wood in the verticals and pale colour tones on the ceilings.

The eucalyptus wood furnishings in all the yacht’s living areas have a 45-degree specular grain pattern to accentuate the chiaroscuro effect, as well as being set in a solid wood frame that matches the walls to create visual continuity.

The new Pershing GTX116’s decor features top design brands including Poltrona Frau, the longstanding partner chosen for the sofa in the main deck saloon, the furniture frames, and the headboards and bed frames in the cabins, and Ernestomeda for the fully appointed galley. The Altraluce lighting takes the form of individual spotlights mounted on black aluminium bars.

MAIN DECK
The Main Deck is the focus of innovation in the new GTX range and extends across two levels, the first designed for outdoor life in contact with the sea and the second for socialising and conviviality.
On the first level is the spacious beach club, a 40-square-metre teak-covered area at the water’s edge, consisting of an extended stern platform and a sundeck separated by lateral gunwales. The latter have a hydraulic mechanism that merges the two areas into a single generous space, which can also be used under way and has access to the cockpit (over 35 square metres) on the second level.

The cockpit is a truly panoramic space with an external social and dining area and a bar. The cockpit also leads into the lavishly-sized main saloon, which offers a unique experience and an unprecedented sensation of seamless contact with the water thanks to its extensive glazing and sheer spaciousness.

At the entrance to the saloon, a large living space furnished with armchairs and an L-shaped sofa seating ten offers breathtaking sea views thanks to the possibility of a lateral sliding door that opens onto a terrace extending over the water and more than four metres long.

Further forward, the dining area has a large table seating up to ten people, while the galley, depending on the owner’s needs, can also be designed with a bar counter - show kitchen.

Two doors – one in the saloon and one in the galley – provide discreet access to the helm station, where the windscreen, a single piece uninterrupted by verticals, wraps around the entire breadth of the superstructure (around five metres). The bridge is characterised by a futuristic console, black leather upholstery and a carbon fibre pilot seat. This magnificent one-off exercise is custom designed specifically for this yacht, with onboard instrumentation featuring even more advanced technology than the brand’s already high standard. The top choice version is fitted with latest-generation ultra-wide Navico-Simrad screens for high-precision navigation.
The generous sun area in the bow can be fitted with an optional Whirlpool Jacuzzi.

LOWER DECK
The five-cabin night area has a centrally positioned full-beam owner’s cabin, two doubles and two twins, all with private bathroom, plus a sixth bathroom off the main stairway.
Owners also have the choice of an alternative layout in which one of the guest cabins is replaced by a lower saloon for guests to enjoy in intimate privacy.

Further forward are the crew quarters, with a pantry, a laundry and three cabins for a five-member crew (two twins for the crew and a single for the captain). To enable the owner and their guests to enjoy absolute privacy, the crew area connects directly to the helm station on the main deck. The yacht is also designed with crew-only passageways so that crew members have no need to cross spaces reserved for the owner and guests.

SPORTBRIDGE
The sportbridge is another of the innovations introduced into the sport superyacht segment by Pershing GTX116: a deck of over 40 square metres partially covered by a hardtop and featuring a fully equipped bar area with seating built into the main structure.
Forward, on the other hand, is the exterior helm station, with up to three sport seats to give guests a thrilling hands-on experience.

ENGINE ROOM
The engine room contains a triple waterjet propulsion system, the result of a huge design effort by the product team to fit all the components into a smaller space, so providing more room for the garage and beach area. The result of this strategy is a high-tech engine room that demonstrates how innovative systems can be concentrated, while also achieving extraordinary performance levels.

PROPULSION AND TECHNOLOGY
Pershing GTX116 is equipped with a triple water jet propulsion system that can be paired with three MAN V12 2000 engines, each rated 2,000 mhp (optional), for a top speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots. The standard engines are three MAN V12 1800 units rated 1,800 mhp. The yacht has a RINA Class Certificate for Pleasure Yachts.

Mondolfo, July 21, 2023

The stage is set and the spotlight is on: last July 18 the second Pershing GTX116 was launched in the port of Fano. Ready to break down all barriers in her wake, riding the waves to discover unexplored lands thanks to her sporty character and a relentless focus on ultimate liveability, the second Pershing GTX116 unit opens up new horizons for the marine experience, taking it into a unique space that surpasses anything you could imagine.

Built for the US market, the second Pershing GTX116 unit is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department, and she confirms her sporty heritage while enhancing the concept of comfort by providing plenty of open-air spaces and areas designed to provide even more direct contact with the water, totalling a remarkable 150 square metres. A unique yacht with a hull over 35 metres in length and 7.70 metres in the beam.

The brand’s sporty personality is embodied by the sleek and streamlined profile, which is pointed up in the bow area by a signature style feature that references luxury SUV automotive imagery and identifies the new Pershing GTX116 as an SUY or Sport Utility Yacht. This yacht in the new range is painted the classic Pershing grey, with a special shade of blue for the deckhouse, and features generous glazed surfaces that flood the interiors with natural light.

The main deck contains the spacious lounge, where the sophisticated, high-end furnishings are arranged to create as much space as possible. The layout of the setting therefore includes a conventional dining table, unlike the first model on which the owner chose to create a bar area. The taupe oak parquet by Listone Giordano is the perfect match for warmly coloured furnishings that feature contrasting but inviting profiles and are coordinated with the sand-coloured Frau sofa. This generously sized and convivial space is furnished with gloss furniture featuring a fine finish that has a more matt appearance than on the first unit.
Entered from the lounge, the galley is much more spacious than on the previous unit and contains three fridge units with room to store everything needed. Here too, the cupboard doors are in warm colours, such as ivory with tone-on-tone colour dots.

Moving to the cockpit, we find an extending fixed table and, further aft, two teak tables. In this second unit, the area opposite the table in the cockpit is home to a large bar unit. This choice makes it possible to create an ideal setting in which to spend relaxing moments in increasingly seamless contact with the water. Forward, the unit proposed by the shipyard features a 6-person Jacuzzi.
Finally, the lower deck contains four guest cabins. It is also home to the master suite, which has a king-size bed by Frau with pecan-coloured finishings and ivory accents, in a clear reference to the palette of warm, inviting colours used throughout this second unit. The main bathroom is another design exercise in pursuit of space and absolute comfort. The framework is a setting containing three interior areas, with two regular showers, a central waterfall shower and two entrances. The herringbone mosaic by Metalborder gives the area an even more luxurious feel. It’s a space that perfectly combines technology and elegance.

The garage can contain a jet ski and two water toys, while the exclusive 39-square-meter beach club has a teak deck protected by an electro-hydraulic taffrail that opens up to connect the beach area with the swim platform, creating a huge space at the water’s edge.
The 40-square-meter sundeck, reached from the stern area via two outdoor stairways on either side of the yacht, features sportfly furnishings with modular sofas by Minotti. This convivial but refined layout is designed to provide generous spaces in which to fully enjoy life on board.

The second Pershing GTX116 unit is equipped with a triple water jet propulsion system, which can be paired with three MAN V12 2000 engines each rated 2,000 mhp (optional) for a top speed of 35.5 knots and a cruising speed of 29.5 knots. The standard engines are three MAN V12 1800 units rated 1,800 mhp.
