2012/13 pershing 92

As you step into the cockpit, you’ll see many possibilities for entertaining yourself, your family, and your friends aboard.

Beneath the expansive flydeck overhang and surrounded by  loudspeakers, is the lounge that’s formed of two built-in upholstered settees, two ottomans, and a large table accompanied by a bar and grill. 

Together, these elements provide al fresco dining and endless enjoyment for 8 guests or more. And for those who want to bathe in the sun, relax or play near the water, there’s an aft deck sunpad, flanked by two staircases which lead down to the large swimming platform and tender garage. 

Separating the cockpit from the saloon is Pershing’s famous French door which vanishes into the deck with a press of a button. And thereby creating a continuous, uninterpreted area extending all the way from the aft sunpad to the pilothouse.

This has the effect of making the saloon more inviting. As well, it brings the outside into your saloon — increasing your connection to the sea and allowing your family and friends to socialize whether they are outside or in.

As for the saloon itself, you and your guests will find it particularly luxurious, accommodating, and relaxing.

Especially, when you see the sea flying by at 42 knots through the windows  while you lounge in total comfort.

For the furnishings, the large C-shaped settee and raised lounger are composed of soft hand sewn leather made by Poltrona Frau. A contemporary earth-tone pallet was used throughout the saloon: dark woods, light wood joinery, oak tree flooring, cream colored furnishings, accented with stainless steel fittings and glass create a calm, classy, relaxing ambience.

As for entertaining your guests, there’s a bar, and a TV that rises out of the huge credenza which spans the saloon, portside. What’s more, a glass dining table behind the helm comfortably seats 8. In the aft port corner is a hidden staircase to the galley below deck, allowing for meals to be easily served to you and your guests.

Natural light flows through the big lateral windows which stretch the entire length of the saloon.

Overall, the Pershing’s interior is surprisingly luxurious for a yacht which behaves like a speedboat. There’s no doubt that you’ll astonish your guests as they reach 42 knots within the comfort of this saloon.

Below deck you can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests in four lavish staterooms.

There’s two guest cabins, a VIP suite to bow, and of course, a full-beam master suite admidship. Every room has an entertainment system with TV.

Each room is enriched by Poltrona Frau leather used in all the seats, beds, headboards, and walls.

The forward VIP stateroom is larger than most on a boat of this size. It features a double bed, love seat, and en suite. The asymmetrical layout of the bed makes the room appear larger and is a refreshing change from the usual forward cabin layout.

As for the guest cabins, they seem exceedingly lavish due to the generous use of Poltrona Frau leather surrounding the two single beds. Each guest cabin includes an en suite, and an additional pullman berth which brings the total sleeping capacity up to 10.

With the four cabin layout, you can put her into the charter trade, if you desire.

Located aft of the below deck staircase is the full-beam master stateroom at the centre of the yacht.

It offers her owner much comfort and luxury in the form of a king sized bed, raised leather lounger to port, large windows, and a big en-suite shower with bidet.

The windows provide a beautiful views when at anchor and the sensation of being on an even larger yacht. And under the portside window is the lounger to enjoy the views. Furthermore, there’s plenty of storage with a credenza to starboard, two large closets with leather handles, and numerous drawers below the TV. 

The en-suite contains a large mosaic tiled shower, bidet, stainless steel fittings, and Canaletto walnut with horizontal patterns. The berth appears to be floating since it’s mounted on hidden supports and is illuminated by soft underlighting.

And behind the berth, is sound-reducing material in the bulkhead separating it from the galley and crew quarters.

The galley is accessible from the inside and outside via a well-sized staircase tucked away in the aft of the saloon, or from the outside through the transom.

Situated on the centreline of the yacht, motion within the galley is reduced — and this will be much appreciated by whoever is cooking.

The galley is well equipped numerous high-end appliances by Miele, ErnestoMeda, and Bosch. These appliances include a full-size washer and dryer, half-height freezer drawers, oven with grill, cooktop, dishwasher and full-height refrigerator.

Here’s what Yachting Magazine had to say about this area, “The galley also serves as the crew’s mess and lounge, convenient to their two cabins, each with en suite head, and is one of the most stylish yet functional arrangements I have come across in a yacht of this size.”

As for the crew, their accommodations are spread among two cabins. There’s the captains cabin with one berth, and the crew cabin with two. 

And just aft of the galley and easily entered through a watertight door is the heart of the ship: the engine room.

Did you know that Pershing was named after a missile?

That’s right — this yacht was inspired by the American Pershing missile system.

This “seaborne missile” is outfitted with dual high-performance 2,638hp MTU diesel engines and SeaRex Surface Piercing Drives. Each engine has 3 turbochargers and a boost air intercooler. Combined, this arrangement generates 5,276 horsepower. Allowing you to reach a comfortable cruising speed of 36 knots and a top speed of 42 — a feat which is remarkably fast for 92 foot yacht.

Furthermore, the SeaRex drives, which operate half in and half out of water, give you shallow water capabilities, quicker turning, and reduced fuel consumption.

And according to BoatTest.com: “the 92 follows the tried-and-true prescription that Ferretti engineers have developed over the years. In our opinion, these [engine rooms] are among the very best in the industry.”

Despite the size of the engines, the engine room layout is so well organized that it provides easy access to every piece of equipment. Therefore making routine maintenance and repairs is a snap.

Bottom line: the engine room, with its power, speed, and range of 385 nautical miles, is an excellent yacht for those who would love to see many islands on a sunny day, or for weekend jaunts to favorite retreats.

When it comes to taking control of this Pershing, Alberto Galassi, the owner of Pershing Yachts, said it best:

“A Pershing is not driven; it is piloted, just like a fighter jet or a racing car.”

And so, for piloting this fast-yacht, there’s the helm station, with three helm seats, a throttle and joystick containing 5,276 horses.

To control this yacht, the helm station is equipped with a Furuno Navnet 3D multi-functional display, recessed into a carbon fibre dash. And the entire station is wrapped in leather. 

As for the helm seats, there are 3 black leather power chairs, made for comfortable cruising, in all weather, while at high speed. Sitting in the centre power chair, you can operate the throttle and the tiny joystick to command every horse.

Adding to it’s fighter jet and racing car like character, two pantograph doors open automatically to the side decks.

And surprisingly, this Pershing reaches 42 knots amid blissful silence. But, if you truly want to sense the speed this yacht, then you must head to the top deck to discover the “Pershing Thrill.”

Up the illuminated staircase to port is the upper deck.

This deck is made for two things: relaxation in privacy and the thrill of speeding along out in the open. 

To the aft, is a large C-shape modular sofa which surrounds a high-low table. This layout accommodates 8 guests for dining and cocktails. However, if you reverse the forward helm seat, the seating arrangement can accommodate up to 13 guests. What’s more, the sofa ingeniously converts into a set of sunbeds. As for the helm seat, it too can convert into a sunbed. Nearly the whole area can be protected with a Bimini on carbon fiber poles.

Forward, there is the external helm which folds up for use or down for a sleeker appearance and enhanced aerodynamics.

This helm station contains all of the controls and instruments needed to navigate. Moreover, it gives you the ability to command the “Pershing Thrill” from above deck.

A thrill of adrenaline rush you get when you open the throttle or when you tack at full speed. Or the thrill of you and your guests watching the awe-inspiring rooster tail behind the boat at 42 knots.

At the bow of this Pershing is a third separate area to relax and entertain you and your guests.

Directly in front of the bridge, is a big high-backed sofa encircling a high-low table. And beyond this, is very large sunbed. 

Combined, the immense lounge area is a fun place for cocktails, dining, or sunbathing. It also serves as an excellent escape from the entertaining in the aft cockpit. Just like the the upper sundeck, the area can be shaded by use of a Bimini top on carbon fibre poles.

As well, the high bulwarks and Portuguese bridge will make you and your guests feel secure while underway, even at high speeds.

To the stern, there’s the a swimming platform and tender garage.

The swimming platform is quite large because it has the ability to extend further out of the Pershing.

For this reason, it offers plenty of room to rest, relax, and play by the water. And, when the yacht is underway, the swimming platform recedes back into the yacht.

As well, the transform lifts to expose a relatively wide and deep garage in the stern. And this storage area can handle a limousine tender and jet ski which are easily launched and retrieved by a pulley system and two railways. Overall, the swim platform and tender garage have much to offer you and your guests in the way of relaxation and play.

Case in point:

A founder of Pershing, Tilli Antonelli, once had to deliver a Pershing 62 to a client in Beirut, Lebanon. On that day, departing from from Mersin, Turkey, he recalls that the conditions at sea were perfect:

“The sea was calm with no wind. We were cruising at a speed of 42 knots and we touched 47 knots at a certain point. We were immediately intercepted by radar from a military helicopter that flew directly at us. It had followed us, moved to suspicion by the high speed of a motoryacht.”

He then added:

“It was quite an experience, but I must say that being intercepted by a military helicopter in the middle of the sea due to high speed can only happen to a Pershing.”

And so, this is why they say, are you ready to stop boating and start Pershing?
