New Model: Pershing 8X

The Pershing X revolution continues, and after the 5X and 9X comes the 8X.  For the 8X Fulvio de Simoni continues the distinctive side wing design feature of all the X denominated models, a feature which started with the 70 in 2014.  The Pershing 8X is also an evolution of the 80 and 82 models.  The Pershing 82 launched in Summer 2012 has been a huge success for Pershing and possibly its best sold model above eighty feet in length, since the builder entered the segment with the 88 in the early 2000s.  The 8X is an evolutionary design approach and some stylistic elements as the ladder to the sport bridge integrated in the port side wing create artistic peaces alone.  The Pershing 8X is also flexible and will feature three or four double cabin interiors, and there is also an option for the main deck with the tradition central dining area replaced by a bar unit.  The galley in all the layouts is located in the crew area located at midships in between the engine room and midships master stateroom.  As extravagances go the Pershing 8X will also feature what is called Music-Hull, which makes it possible to listen music while under water.  As all new Pershing the 8X performs superlatively with the standard MTU 2435hp pushing her up to 45 knots max of top speed, and the optional MTU 2638hp giving a plus three knots to that.

Web: Bugari New Web Site

Bugari from Fano on the Adriatic sea side of Italy presents its new website.  Founded in 1968 by Artemio Bugari, who at first started production of sailing yachts and fishing vessels from ten to twenty meters.  Over the years Bugari expanded his shipyard twice, first in 1972 and second in 1991.  This last move was very much important and in the early nineties Bugari started the production of custom motor and super yachts, most of which featured a semi-displacement hull form, and size varying from twenty to forty meters.  In 1999 Andrea and Arnaldo Bugari sons of Artemio took over the shipyard.  In 2014 an Austrian holding in partnership with Andrea and Arnaldo started a plan to relaunch Bugari. After this move in 2018 Bugari presented three models; F77, F86 and F100 of size from 23 to thirty meters. Bulgari new website takes you around with the following buttons; Yachts, Home, Brand, Fusion Design, Individual, and Contact.  Bulgari is also on social media with a link on the right top of the page taking you to its Facebook page.
