PERSHING 88

In the late 1990s, Pershing started to focus on the
construction of bigger vessels: the Pershing 88 took
shape. Presented during the Festival de la Plaisance
in the port of Cannes, it was the first yacht adorned
with the “silver” tone that would become a distinctive
feature of all future Pershing vessels. The idea for its
color – subsequently also applied to boats by other
manufacturers – came from an owner who wanted
his yacht to be the same shade as his car.

2004 PERSHING 50

With its perfect blend of designer appeal, space,
and technological equipment, the Pershing 50
offers an unbeatable trade-off between size and
life on a coupé of these dimensions. Its incredible
qualities made it the best-selling Pershing vessel
ever: no fewer than 105 units of various kinds were
delivered. Among them was the Pershing 50.1, an
unprecedented version of the model that combined
an attractive design with superb performance and
exceptional livability on board.

2004
PERSHING 115

The Pershing 115 took the brand’s renowned
fantastic performance to a whole new level.
This is because the gas turbine – which can be used
to cut the waves at a top speed of 52 knots – was
complemented by the introduction of water jets.
The ground-breaking combination of water jets and
gas turbine gave the Pershing 115 remarkably agile
handling, for smooth turning even at high speeds.
The unprecedented performance made it an
iconic model.
