Pershing 72’
Pershing, the Ferretti Group brand and famous Italian shipyard specialised in the production of luxury yachts, presents the brand-new Pershing 72’. This is a yacht boasting endless authentic innovations and such a degree of care over design, top class technology and an unprecedented interior layout that it has revolutionized the concept of life at sea completely.
“The Pershing 72’ was created with the aim of presenting a
new philosophy for enjoying yachting and the sea” stated Tilli Antonelli, the Pershing founder and chairman. “It is the result of intense teamwork and it celebrates the beginning of our collaboration with the prestigious ‘Poltrona Frau’ company who have designed and created according to our requirements, the pilot house, all the seating and numerous other interior furnishings. This model demonstrates our desire to present a product that not only offers ultimate comfort but also enhances the joy of socializing and being together.”
Superior design, elegance and style are a must for Pershing and have always been the hallmark of its craft. The painstaking care taken over every detail and the insistence on avant-garde solutions can be seen in the design of the Pershing 72’s exteriors and dynamic outline, especially in:
- the radically new hull profile, the fruit of yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni’s untiring creativity and continuous consultation with both Tilli Antonelli, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Division;
- a sleeker look, thanks to the particularly long stretch of the side windows; an absolutely new feature creating an elegant and harmonious arc, unbroken by the customary twin window division.
Particular attention has been paid to the interiors thanks to the new partnership with Poltrona Frau, an internationally famous “Made in Italy” brand that combines superb craftsmanship with fine materials and tradition with carefully tested innovation in all its highly contemporary furnishings.
The unmistakeable style of Poltrona Frau design adds a new level of refinement to the craft giving it both character and personality. Pershing and Poltrona Frau have worked hard together to make design the real focus point of this latest model. Painstaking design and construction methods have created a product centred around life onboard and thanks to the use of top quality leather and an insistence on ultimate comfort, the Pershing 72’ boasts a whole series of interior fittings, including new driving seats and prestige leather covered finishes for the command console, ceiling panels, side walls, cabin details and all the interior seating (including sofas, chairs and loungers).
Taking into account Pershing’s strict standards and requirements the Poltrona Frau Interiors Division have created a brand new pilot house – or command console – that is even more ergonomic and matches with greater style the upper saloon, the “heart” of the Pershing 72’. The craft’s design is the result of a continuous exchange of ideas with the Pershing management and numerous improvements have been made to ensure that driving the boat is more comfortable. For example the arms on the driving seat have been shortened to suit the position of the driver more closely and facilitate movements.
In addition, the quality of the leather and the grey tone of the seats has been chosen to differentiate the helm station from the environment around it and endow it with classic Pershing style and elegance.
“Working together with Pershing and transferring to yacht interiors our taste for a relaxed, contemporary lifestyle with a special focus on privacy has been a new challenge for Poltrona Frau”, stated Mr. Giuliano Mosconi, the Poltrona Frau CEO.
The most advanced technology distinguishes all the equipment aboard the new Pershing 72’, bearing witness to the superior technological standards and top performance typical of the shipyard’s craft. In particular:
- the new hard top is more precisely a “sunroof”, as it slides open in both the saloon and cockpit allowing the cockpit to be opened completely to the sky or closed to protect it;
- the glass partition between the cockpit and the saloon slides away into the floor to enable the inside and outside to be transformed into a single environment that stretches from the helm station area to the stern sundeck;
- the new Genius gangplank, created together with Besenzoni and now in the process of being patented, is a multi-functional device that can quickly become a stowaway gangway, a swimming ladder or a quayside mooring ramp;
- the garage is distinguished by a special section that can be lowered into the water and is so spacious and efficient that it can store and launch a 3.2m tender and a Jet Ski.
- two 1823 hp MTU Common Rail engines with an Arneson drive (ASD 14L) are the power behind the Pershing 72’s high performance that reaches top speeds of up to 45 knots.
The interior layout is another feature that makes the new Pershing 72’ so special as it offers owner and guests ultimate comfort thanks to its increased floor space.
The innovative plan creates a series of interwoven environments that create ideal contexts for guests to meet in. These range from the spacious sundecks in the stern, to the extremely versatile saloon and galley, which thanks to its new position is now a highly sociable area.
- The position of the galley is extremely original and fitted with every comfort. Situated at an intermediate level between the main deck and the area below decks, the space has been specially designed to enhance sociability onboard and boasts a storeroom of unprecedented size.
- The cockpit is dominated by the central sundeck, which includes a large sofa that can be extended into an L-shape and a fold-out, height adjustable table that sits up to eight people or stows away to create a roomy second sun deck.
- In the upper saloon the light dances over a series of soft contours to create a fresh, contemporary look. The area includes a spacious L-shaped sofa, an extendable table, a stowaway flat screen TV and a lounger near the pilot house, which is fitted with a new, elegant, high-tech, ergonomic, leather covered command console and seats.
All the saloon furnishings have been crafted by the Poltrona Frau Interiors Division in accordance with the strict standards set by the Pershing management and fitters. To complete all the environments on the craft, the natural warmth of oak fittings embellished with wengé insets has been chosen.
- The night area stands out particularly for the sophisticated comfort of the ‘full beam’ Master Cabin that is amazingly bright and sunny thanks to the two specially built-in, open-view windows that offer spectacular panoramas from both the king-size bed and the new cosy lounger. The cabin is also fitted with a dresser, a walking closet, a mini-bar, a flat screen TV and a bathroom fitted with an original wardrobe and a luxurious shower enhanced by Bisazza mosaic tiling.
- The guest cabin is fitted with twin single beds and a third stowaway berth and has direct access to its own bathroom which can also be reached from the corridor.
- The VIP cabin in the bows includes an elegant central bed, two spacious built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
- The crew area is fitted with a small living room including two seats, a foldaway table, a mini-bar and a glass ceramic hob, as well as a cabin with two single beds and a separate bathroom. This space constitutes a level of crew comfort and privacy that is truly unprecedented for a craft of this size.
With this model Pershing demonstrates yet again its insistence on creating a product suited to a wide variety of markets. In fact the shipyard also offers a version with an alternative layout where the central guest cabin is replaced by a living area to meet the requirements of markets with lifestyles and customs that are different to those in Europe. In the United States, for example, greater importance is put on the day zone as customers tend to use their yachts all year round.
