1985 PERSHING 45

The features found in this first model held the
secrets to the success of Pershing and its future.
Combining performance, comfort, and innovation,
the Pershing 45 open motorboat presented
pioneering livability, with three bathrooms and three
cabins. As well as revolutionizing the concept of
onboard comfort and design in its category, it was
the first vessel with a hydraulic gangway (developed
with Besenzoni, founded by Giovanni Besenzoni).

1991
PERSHING 70

The futuristic Pershing 70 perfectly embodies the
no-frills Pershing spirit. Equipped with a gas turbine,
it can reach a top speed of 55 knots: a genuine
technological miracle for a vessel of this kind, in the
early 1990s! Being on board as it accelerates feels
like being on a plane taking off: when the turbine
kicks in, the sea is like an endless runway that can
send you soaring into unprecedented cruising
experiences.

1996 PERSHING 54

Designed at a time when Pershing was shifting
from in-line transmission to surface propellers,
the Pershing 54 was one of the first models by the
company to come with both options. Right from
the start, it was compared to a sports car due
to its exceptional performance and called “the
snowboard of the sea” thanks to its outstanding
maneuverability. These qualities meant being out on
the waves was more fun than ever and made it one
of Pershing’s bestsellers.
