Pershing New Web Site

Pershing presents its new World wide web showroom. The Pershing story starts in 1981 when a partnership between Tili Antonelli, Fausto Fillipetti, Giulano Onori creates Cantieri dell Adriatico and the first model, a 30 feet wooden built sport cruiser. In 1985 the first Pershing, the 45 model was created, as designed by Fulvio De Simoni which in its sleek sport lines offered three double cabins. Since then Fulvio De Simoni continued never stopping the Pershing collaboration designing all its models, and creating over the years many breakthroughs in yacht design, the 70 model introduced in 1991 when the at the time new flagship introduced the integrated windshield feature. This feature apart becoming an identity design for Pershing will be one of the most copied styles in the nineties. The 70 also reinvented the hard top design, which Pershing developed further in the top selling 54, and the 60 up until it was a feature of nearly all the range. The first hull of the 1991 Pershing 70 also featured an innovative jet turbine propulsion.  From it's early years and the expanding of the range Pershing has expanded it's size over the years; first generation 52 in 1989, 57 in 1990, 70 in 1992, 88 in 1998, 115 in 2004, and the alloy built 140 in 2019.  In 1998 in a move to increase its growing global status Pershing joins the Ferretti Group, following to this comes a move to its current establishment in Mondolfo, a plant designed by Sandro Santini and having a total space of 55,000 square meters of which 38,000 are covered. Pershing current line up features ten models divided into three lines; X Generation, GTX Series, and Superyachts, with it's entry model being the fifteen meter 5X, and going up to the aluminium built 140 flagship. Pershing latest model is the GTX90.  Pershing new web site is available in English and Italian language and takes you around with the following buttons; Home, About, GTX Concept, Surface, Shipyard, and Pershing Yachts.  Pershing is also on social media; TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, X-Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube with a direct link buttons on the top right of the page.
