Pershing has unveiled the latest addition to its GTX series, the Pershing GTX80. This new model emphasizes a seamless integration of interior and exterior spaces, enhancing onboard comfort and providing a unique cruising experience. The Pershing GTX80 continues the brand’s tradition of combining high performance with sportiness.
Measuring under 24 meters in length with a 5.8-meter beam, the GTX80 is a collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee, Vallicelli Design, and the Group’s Engineering Department. The yacht features two decks and a sportbridge, offering accommodation for up to eight guests across four cabins. The design focuses on a balanced proportion between superstructure and hull, achieving architectural harmony in a sports motor yacht of this size.
The exterior design showcases Pershing's signature style with innovative features. The hull profile includes a near-vertical bow and a continuous, slightly convex sheer line. The bulwarks, lightened by a longitudinal slot, incorporate winches and convert into lateral terraces. The hull's elegant lines contrast Pershing grey with a darker shade on the superstructure and polished carbon on the hard top, creating a visually appealing palette.
The main deck is split into two levels. The first level, dedicated to water contact, features a 28 m² beach area with lateral terraces that open electrically. The stern platform offers three positions: default, tender launch, and a raised position to integrate with the aft living area. The second level includes a 14 m² cockpit with a dining area and a direct connection to the indoor galley, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow. The salon's interior layout comes in two versions, emphasizing either informal or formal dining arrangements.
The lower deck can be configured with four cabins and four en suite bathrooms or a dinette and day head instead of a fourth guest cabin. The full-beam master suite features distinctive cloud-effect sky blue leather panelling and a sophisticated lighting design. Guest cabins ensure privacy and comfort, while the crew area, accessed from the cockpit, provides accommodation for crew members.
The sundeck spans 23 m², offering significant space compared to other yachts in its category. The deck includes a full-beam sunpad, a dining area, and an optional carbon fabric hard-top. The exterior helm station can accommodate up to three pilot chairs and two monitors.
Powered by three 1,000 mhp Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350 engines, the Pershing GTX80 reaches a top speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots. The yacht features advanced technological systems, including Volvo IPS electro-hydraulic steering, Humphree trim stabilizers, and optional Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizers, ensuring a smooth and efficient ride. The yacht is CE Class A certified.
