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.
