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.

Tankoa New Web Site

Italian super yacht builder Tankoa presents its new web site.  Tankoa which means Scorpio in Genoese dialect was founded in 2007 by Giuseppe Orsi and his best friend, with the presidency of the company moving to Orsi sons, from Guido who was the President at founding to his sister Eva who took over Presidency since 2018.  Tankoa's main founder Giuseppe Orsi started his career as an engineer, becoming a businessman, and corporate executive taking over the helm of Finmeccanica in 2011.  But Orsi is also a passionate yacht owner, having entered yachting with the ownership of various super yachts, and from 1996 up to 2004 was also part-owner of Baglietto shipyard.  The construction of the first Tankoa hull number C101, a super yacht as designed by Francesco Paszkowski started life in 2008 as a 65 meter project, it was delayed for the Global Financial Crisis which hit the world economies at the end of that year.  Eventually Tankoa C101 will be updated to a 69 meter in 2013 and launched in June 2015.  Tankoa is located since its founding at Sestri Ponente in the center of Genoa's seven nautical miles break water protected harbour, next to Genoa's Christopher Columbus airport.  In December 2023 Tankoa took a lease agreement for the former Privilege super yacht yard in Civitavecchia which went bankrupt in 2015, increasing both production capacity and the possibility to build larger mega and giga yachts. Tankoa's aim has always been to be a boutique super yacht builder, with a business core in both custom and semi-custom builds, although the success seems more coming from the later, with ten of the yachts delivered coming from the semi-custom series yachts.  Tankoa has to date build fifteen super yachts from 45 up to 72 meters, with eleven yachts from 45 to 72 meters currently under construction.  Tankoa new website takes you around with the following buttons; Essence, Shipyard, Yachts, News, and Contacts.  Tankoa is also on social media with bottom right buttons taking you to its; Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin pages.

Riva New Web Site

Riva presents its new web site.  An iconic brand since the mid twentieth century Riva started operating in 1842.  The start comes from Pietro Riva at the time a young ship builder who had just moved to Sarnico to repair boats after a storm hits the Bergamo province municipality. This eventually gave Pietro the trust of the locals and his relocation from Como to Sarnico, and the start of the Riva name.  The son of Pietro, Ernesto continued were his father left, and with an innovative spirit also started building small cargo and passenger ships with an internal combustion engine.  After World War One, Serafino the son of Ernesto takes the helm of the company and gives Riva the twist which will symbolize the future of the company, when he moves production away from commercial builds and starts building leisure powerboats.  In those 1920's and thirties Riva also competes with its boats, collecting a number of victories and speed records to its name. Just after World War Two in 1950 Carlo Riva, a man driven by great passion since his childhood for the sea and fast performing boats takes the helm of the company.  It was a time of economic recovery for Europe and Italy and Carlo created the status symbol wooden sport boats debuting in 1950 with four models, and the Ariston being the model which becomes an icon, followed in that same year by the slightly larger twin engines Tritone.  Two years later in 1952 more iconic models are introduced; Sebino, and the top selling 1029 made Florida, to arrive to the legendary Aquarama in 1962 which produced till 1996 is delivered in 784 hulls in its seven versions, which also include the legendary one-off fastest hull #268 Aquarama Lamborghini.  In 1956 Riva starts the collaboration with designer Giorgio Barilani who becomes exclusive and design manager in 1970 till 1996.  He is followed by Mauro Micheli, who enters Riva as Barilani assistant in 1984, and takes over design in 1991 debuting with the 58 Bahamas, and designing all Riva boats and yachts since then.  In 1969 another important step happened at Riva when it enters fiberglass production, starting with the 20 Bahia Mar and followed by 25 Sport Fisherman, both models licensed from Bertram, but modified into luxurious cruising boats with the Riva element of design and finishing. Other iconic models will follow in the seventies; from the small Rudy of 5.87 meters which is as at today the most produced fiberglass Riva with 364 units, to the St. Tropez a fast open sport cruiser of nine meters and second of the best sold fiberglass builds, and the Superamerica 42 which in nineteen years will evolve to the 45, 48, 50, 50 Special, and 50 High Performance. A total of 251 Superamerica's will be built from 1973 to 1993.  A unique model in the Riva story is the 2000 with hull designed by Italian sixties and seventies performance powerboat legend Renato Sonny Levi.  The 2000 will launch in 1975 and is built till 1982.  Following Carlo Riva selling of the company to US fiberglass producer giant Whittaker in 1969, Riva will have some ownership changes from British Vickers in 1988, Stellican from 1998 till 2000, to the today owner Ferretti Group, who has owned Riva since 2000, and apart developing iconic models; the Aquariva which inherits the Aquarama status in a fiberglass construction, the Rivarama, and Rivale.  Ferretti Group also took Riva into the bigger sizes; 115 Athena in 2005, aluminium built Mythos 122 in 2014, steel built 50Metri in 2019, 54Metri in 2025, and the upcoming seventy meter 70Metri set to launch in 2028.  Today Riva builds nineteen models divided into four lines; Open, Sportfly, Flybridge, and SuperYachts which start with the 27 foot El Iseo, and go up to the still in construction seventy meter 70Metri.  Riva new web site is available in English, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, French, Portuguese, Japanese, and German languages and takes you around with the following buttons; Yachts, Superyachts Division, Riva Legend, Riva - The Movies, Riva World, Shipyards, Boats Anatomy, News and Events, Dealer Network, and Contacts.  Riva is also on social media with bottom right buttons taking you to its; Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Linkedin, Pinterest, X, and TikTok.

Grady-White New Web Site

Grady-White presents its new web site.  Grady-White was founded by Glen R. Grady and Don F. White in 1959, two persons of different backgrounds yet similar inspirations.  Glen Grady was a boat builder who made his apprenticeship at Thompson Boats, working first with Racine Boat Works, he will move to Chris-Craft and then at Cruisers Inc in 1953.  Don White started up as a hardware store owner, he expanded into automobile dealerships, then in real estate development building the Holiday Inn in Greenville, and then becoming a boat dealer.  The boat dealership and Don becoming a Cruisers dealer will eventually set a meeting with Glen Grady.  From this first meet things will evolve and in 1958 GandW Boat Inc is created with Don White as President and Glen Grady as the boat builder. In a very short time GandW Boat Inc will become Grady-White Boats as it begins its business in the old Star Warehouse No. 2, a former tobacco storage facility on Albemarle Avenue in Greenville, South Carolina.  As Glen will move from Oconto he will bring Ronald Peterson an alumni at Cruisers as designer and engineer, with Grady-White debuting with the clinker built 17-foot Hatteras, and the 16-foot Pamlico runabouts.  The first four models produced were the 17' Hatteras sold in February 1960, and by that year the company employed 38 persons, launching the 20-foot Atlantic offshore capable boat by the year end, and set up a plan to produce up to one thousand boats a year.  By 1965 Grady-White will be building thirteen models up to the 3300 Caribbean Custom Cruiser, it's biggest model for some decades.  Following financial difficulties in 1968, Grady-White is purchased by Eddie Smith Junior.  In that year Grady-White also debuted its first fiberglass boat with the Capri, a seventeen foot trimaran, this is followed by the 21 Chesapeake and the 21 Nassau.  The seventies are all about transformation for Grady-White as it fully switches to fiberglass construction, with focus staying on entry level runabout fish able boats added with integrated creature comforts in the design.  Worth of note Grady-White models are the 204 Overnighter which introduces it still till today cabin design, and the 1978 Tarpon 190 the first dual-console boat.  In the eighties Grady-White expands its cabin feature sportfish cruising boats, and in 1989 presents the SeaV² hull as designed by Raymond C. Hunt.  For building a bigger boat to the ten meters 3300 Caribbean from the mid sixties Grady-White will have to wait four decades and till 2005 as it debuts the Express 360, overtaken by its evolution the Express 370 in 2014, and its current flagship the Canyon 456 in 2019.  As dual console's boats Grady-White will not only introduce the genre to boating in 1978, but also make it as important as its gets building the biggest dual console with the Freedom 375 in 2014 and the Freedom 415 in 2024.  Today Grady White offers thirty models, divided into five lines; Center Consoles, Dual Consoles, Walkaround Cabins, Express Cabins, and Coastal Explorers with the line starting from the Fisherman 180 and goes up to the Canyon 456, with its latest model being the 321 Coastal Explorer which debuted in early 2026.  Grady-White new website takes you around with the following buttons; Models, Build, Why Grady, Owners, and Locate Dealer.  Grady-White is also on social media with bottom page buttons taking you to its Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and YouTube pages.

Bertram New Web Site

Legendary boat builder Bertram founded in 1961 presents its new web-site. The story of Bertram starts in 1960 when the 31 Moppie is launched and raced by Richard Bertram during the Miami Nassau of that year, winning the event in one of the worst sea conditions in the race history and setting a new record of under four minutes to the previous one.  It is a year later to this that Richard Bertram presents the fiberglass build 31 Moppie a production run of the racing prototype from 1960 which was build of wood.  A year after the launch of Bertram's debut production model, Richard sells the company to Nautec.  This will be the start of many ownership changes into the years as in 1968 Nautec sells to the Whittaker Corporation, in 1985 Investcorp buy 45% share interests and finalizes a full purchase in 1987, in 1989 New York investment company G.L Ohrstorm, 1992 sees Gruppo Varasi take over, Intek buys the company in 1997, and then Ferretti Group take over in 1998 till 2015.  Gavio the new owners purchase Bertram without its Miami facility in 2015, and then buy a new Tampa Florida location, and start a plan to launch completely new models debuting with the 35 as designed by Michael Peters, a model which reminisces the legendary 31.  Apart from the 1960 legendary start win Bertram has had many highlights in its years from winning races; 1962 Miami Nassau, 1964 Viareggio Bastia, 1965 Cowes Torquay and Miami Key West, all these with Richard on the helm who retires in 1966 but returns for a small stint in the 1969 Miami Nassau.  Other Bertram highlights are the numbers of its construction building its thousand hull in 1971.  Bertram has also had important flagships in its run from the 58 Convertible launched in 1977 with an aluminium super structure, the 72 Convertible in 1989, and the 800 in 2010.  Bertram has also presented some models which are the benchmarks from the 1960 31 which was the model of the brand and produced for sixteen years to 1860 units, to the 28 launched in 1971 built in 2200 units, to the 1981 launched 54 which sets a bench mark in 50 plus feet sportfish yachts.  Currently Bertram has six models staring with the 2021 launched 28 CC, to the 61 flagship launched in 2018.  Bertram latest model is the 34 CC which arrived in the fall of 2024.

Albemarle New Web Site

Albemarle from Carolina USA presents its new web site.  Founded in 1978 by Scott Harell Sr. in Edenton, North Carolina, Albemarle will debut with the 24 a year after it starts operating in 1979.  The 24 is followed a year later by the Albermarle 21, and then the 27 Express in 1984.  In 1986 Albermarle introduces the Jackshaft JPS technology, which allows to position engines at midships with a stern drive propulsion.  In 1990 Albemarle will change leadership as J.Scott Harell Junior takes over from his father.  In 1991 Mac Privott who was with Albemarle from the beginning in 1978 founds Carolina Classic, debuting with the 25 model two years after in 1993, this followed by the 28 in a little over a year.  Albemarle continues to grow in the new millennium and launches its largest 410 Express model, its flagship for 22 years, and the arrival of the 53 Spencer Edition in 2023.  In 2001 Albemarle moves into a new building site at Midway Drive, Thomasville in North Carolina.  In 2005 Albemarle joins Brunswick Corporation, who will sell to Scott McLauglin in 2009.  Scott will also buy Carolina Classic in 2011, although he will keep the two brands distinct, even if they offered a competing product of express sportfish cruisers. In 2015 Murphy Alternative Investments purchases both Albemarle and Carolina Classic, merging the operation into Albemarle.  Today Albemarle offers a line up of seven models which start from the 27 Dual Console and go up to the 53 Albe/Spencer Edition, with its latest model being the 45 Carolinian Fisharound.  Albemarle new website takes you around with the following buttons; Home, Videos, Boats, About, Dealer Login, Shop, Dealers, and Contact.  Albemarle is also on social media with link at bottom page taking you to its Facebook and Instagram pages.
