The Mondolfo-based shipyard Pershing’s Generation X, a range of models focused on design, technology, performance, and use of ultra-lightweight materials, is led by the Pershing 7X. 21.4 meters (approximately 70’) long with a beam of 5.32 meters (approximately 17’), it was created in the partnership between the Fulvio De Simoni design studio, the Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee under engineer Piero Ferrari, and the Group’s Engineering Department.
The ultralight Pershing 7X makes use of the carbon fiber and increases lightness through the furnishings, furniture materials, the use of lightweight alloys, and the installation of lithium batteries rather than traditional ones. The first unit introduces a new color for the hull and superstructure: Alusilver, a custom variant of grey reminiscent of the well-known metals. Also new is the matt black featured on some portions, such as the navigation instrumentation, air vents and aft moldings.
The sporty exterior zones stand out in both visual and functional terms. The aft central garage can fit a Williams 345 Sportjet tender. Up top, a sun deck can sit up to four people, while the forward area is fitted with a large seat. The cockpit is furnished with an L-shaped sofa with table, protected by the end portion of the superstructure. The units to the side house a sink and, upon request, a grill and ice maker or refrigerator. The crew area and engine room can also be accessed from here. The forward area has a chaise longue facing the sea and a large sun deck which conceals a large peak of the same size underneath.
The main deck boasts a 360° view of the sea thanks to the large side windows and glass roof which, together with the fully retractable glass door leading to the lounge, provide visual continuity between the indoor and outdoor areas. In the starboard helm station, on the left, there is a large L-shaped sofa surrounding a table that can be extended to accommodate up to eight diners. The two separate helm seats are made of Poltrona Frau “Interior in Motion” leather. The open-plan kitchen on the lower deck features plenty of storage space and a full-height refrigerator.
Introduced for the first time on the Pershing 7X are new portholes in the cabins, that can be fully opened inwards, flooding the rooms with air and natural light. The porthole, measuring 80×30 cm, is in a vertical position in the owner’s suite, aligned with the large windows, and horizontal in the other two cabins.
There are three cabins: the full-beam owner’s suite at the center of the yacht. The VIP suite is located all the way forward while the starboard guest suite has twin beds. All of the cabins have en-suite bathrooms with a separate shower. The guest cabin bathroom also serves as a day toilet. Accommodation for the crew is located at the aft of the yacht, forward of the engine room and with direct access from the sofa to the cockpit.
The Pershing 7X is powered with twin MAN V12 diesel engines generating 1800 mhp each, combined with a Top System P85X surface drive transmission with surface propellers. The yacht can reach a top speed of 50 knots and a cruising speed of 42 knots, with a maximum range of 300 nautical miles (preliminary data). Two Seakeeper NG6 gyroscopic stabilizers are fitted on this first unit to ensure maximum comfort while at anchor.
