NEW PERSHING 108:

Versatility, Style and Performance. 

The new Pershing 108 features a beautifully aggressive profile, technological advances and, of course, Pershing performance.
Owners and their guests become protagonists in the Pershing 108', due to a radically innovative internal layout, featuring areas which can be modified to suit any given situation.
 
The performance of this model is fully in line with Pershing's style, and features one important innovation. For the first time ever, the shipyard has decided to fit split engines on one of its models, focusing on ecology whilst still maintaining high performance.
 
The standard version is powered by three 1815kw MTU diesel engines, combined with the thrust applied by three Arneson surface propellers, driving her to a speed of 41 knots. The central engine ensures correct air intake and a constant performance, whilst the hull structure has made it possible to create a particularly efficient engine room, with clear advantages for the living areas.
 
This cutting-edge technology also offers owners a number of navigation alternatives. Specifically, she can achieve extraordinary range when only using the central engine, and sail at 11 knots for 1070 nautical miles.
 
Architecture, space and design, from stern to bow, were the overriding criteria for this project, and making her the reference point for the international nautical industry.
 
The foredeck bow area features a semicircular sofa and a table which can be lowered to the height of the seating in order to create a single sundeck area protected by a retractable bimini top.
 
A large upper sundeck has been designed in such a way that it features an area where those aboard can relax in the sun in complete privacy.
 
This unbelievably spacious sundeck features an innovative steering console, two wide sundecks, an ice box and large C-shaped sofa with a table which can also be lowered to the height of the seating. It features a small goods lift which goes down to the galley, and bimini top, making this area both independent and functional, and enabling those aboard to relax completely, and enjoy themselves.
 
The large cockpit is a vast covered area which can be used both during the day and in the evening, and features two sofas set directly opposite each other, a table which can seat 10, a bar unit and another large sun pad area.
 
The design of the interior is characterised by the use of “Canaletto walnut" for the furniture and by subtle indirect lighting. However, it is natural light which is the greatest feature of the architecture of the salon, due to the generous openings of the large side windows and exclusive concealing salon door, which consists of two independent sections featuring electro-hydraulic controls, and can slide into the floor to create a single area measuring over 70 m².
 
In the aft part of the salon, there is table for 10 and a large C-shaped sofa produced by Poltrona Frau. The sofa has been positioned to face a retractable 50 inch television, fridge and storage for the Christofle tableware.
 
The helm station comprises of three comfortable, centrally positioned, adjustable helm seats. The steering console features the most modern navigation and communications technology currently available, and the instrumentation panel is equipped with cutting-edge solutions, such as the new Furuno system.
 
Access to the accommodation area below decks is provided by a large stairway leading downward from behind the steering seats and comprises a large VIP cabin in the bow, 2 twin guest cabins, and a full beam master cabin in the centre of the yacht.
 
The use of Poltrona Frau leather throughout the seating and beds, ensures each cabin is both welcoming and sophisticated.
 
Located in a unique position due to its perfectly square shape, the VIP cabin prevents those aboard from feeling that they are in the bow, and offers complete comfort.
Both guest cabins, featuring twin beds and en-suite heads, are an extraordinary step forward in terms of on-board versatility. Indeed, they allow owners to alter the layout of the cabin according to their requirements. The beds have been designed in such a way they can be set side by side to form either a king-size or two singles.
 
The large hull windows in the master cabin allow for evocative natural lighting. Different interior layouts are available, making this a customizable area and can be fitted out with the owners choice of free standing furniture, i.e. beds, armchairs and tables. Additionally, this area features a walk-in wardrobe or fully equipped study. The cabin has been finished with a large, en-suite head and separate sanitary-ware.
 
A 5 cabin version of this model is also available, where the study can be replaced with another single cabin.
 
Crew accommodation is located astern, and accessible both from in and outside the yacht. It features three cabins with excellent services, laundry and a dinette connected to the galley.
 
The Pershing 108' features a creative solution for an important section of the layout, setting the galley in a passageway in her lower deck. This unique space also hosts a dinette area, enhancing the important, convivial role of the preparation area. The galley features a small goods lift which rises to the sundeck, guaranteeing a service of excellence.
 
A large hangar, with drop-down swimming platform, able to house a 5 metre tender, is located astern. The Pershing 108' provides for a second tender locker in the bow, which can store water toys and lifting crane.
 
The detail, is in the design of the Pershing 108', which once again affirms the shipyard's decision to make materials, solutions, technology and style into something truly unique.
