Pershing Yachts Delivers 9th 35m Yacht – Pershing 115

January 21, 2011

Hull #9 of Pershing Yacht’s 35 meter express yacht series, the Pershing 115’, the flagship of the Pershing fleet, was successfully launched and delivered at Marina dei Cesari in Fano, Italy. The official launching ceremony of Pershing 115 carried out in the presence of company management, the yacht owner’s representative, her crew and local authorities.

The Pershing 115 was created in close collaboration between the staff of Pershing Yachts and the Naval Architect Fulvio De Simoni, the AYT of the Ferretti Group and the Centro Stile Ferrettigroup team of architects and designers. The new express superyacht is able to accommodate 9 guests in four staterooms (a large full beam owner’s stateroom and three guest suites) and crew accommodations for 5 in 3 crew cabins.

Nada Serafini, Brand Manager of Pershing Yachts shared, “This new Pershing 115 is a unique product which is highly at the forefront: a vessel that has been tailor-made for the ship owner, a perfect expression of the brand’s distinctive values such as innovation, comfort, performance, design and class. The launching of hull number 9 testifies the growing success of this model which has contributed in making the Pershing Brand one of the most attractive on the International boating market.”

A unique characteristic of this express megayacht is the presence of a Vericor TF50 gas turbine, typically used in the aeronautical sector, capable of developing power of 5,100 horsepower, with a central water-jet propeller propulsion. Its use requires specific accessories and mechanical parts and technologies that are integrated within the system which includes, for example, the titanium drain, the axis and the reducer. A major advantage of this assembly is its silence and the absence of vibrations up to its screaming max speed of 52 knots.

A distinctive feature of every Pershing 115’ is the personalization that contributes in making the flagship of the fleet a unique product, varying from one model to another and which can be customized per her owner’s requests. Hull#9 distinguishes herself from other models, with her shiny white pearl hull, a distinctive feature of the new Pershing Yachts models, donating luminosity and energy to her stunning profile.

Inside, the main hall has been renovated up to the finest details but its characteristic layout with a banded coal French window at the stern, which separates the cockpit from the main hall, has been kept. The large cockpit itself, which is about 24 meters squared, is even more spacious and enjoyable, both during the day and in the evening, with its vast covered area made unique by its lateral carbon fittings and seating, a teak table for 10 people, a bar, a large solarium and, for the first time, a 32” in-built TV placed on the ceiling on the left. The upper sun deck, an independent and functional area where one can make the best out of moments of relaxation, is also equipped with an innovative dash board and a wide seating space in-built in a comfortable piece of furniture, with an in-built ice box and four chaise longue facing the stern.

Among these structural innovations, which required the specific support of the Pershing technical staff, it is worth mentioning the highly innovative entertainment and domotic system, which once again highlights the constant commitment of the brand to offer forefront products. In fact, this vessel is equipped with a centralized audio and visual system that can be managed by a “touch panel” with AMX technology and it can be integrated with the installation of a “Kaleidoscape” system which archives music and dvds like in a library.

Moreover, the system actively controls, through the same touch panel, the Lutron light system, electrical curtains, air conditioning and a closed-circuit video camera system, which makes it possible to watch the onboard nautical maps and the bridge radar routes on the dash baord. Finally, on this vessel there is an onboard monitoring system for parameters such as the closure of the porthole and the external doors, the tension level of the batteries and the smoke detector.
