| Pershing 90 |  |
The top of the superstructure hides another innovation for this
genre—a rooftop sunbathing area. This not-quite-flying bridge also has a
forward-facing sofa for those who enjoy the wind in their hair while under way.
This deck is reached via a chrome and Lucite staircase in the salon and a hatch
in the overhead, both minimally intrusive on the salon décor.Belowdecks, the 90 offers four cabins. The generous full-beam
master is aft, and it gains privacy from the other cabins by off-center
placement of its angled door, which opens from the lower lobby onto a dressing
area rather than the cabin proper. For a boat this size, this is a very
thoughtful feature. The suite’s king-size bed is on port and angled 45 degrees,
a space-optimization trick that grants full advantage of views afforded by
the triple vertical windows in both sides of the hull and also allows placement
of a desk under the starboard windows. The suite opens to the master bath via
a sliding translucent partition. This sleek space has low wengé counters topped
with ultra-hip colored, frosted acrylic, oval wash basins and a walk-in twin
shower and separate toilet room. The guest suites’ bathrooms are identically
furnished, and the translucent wall panels are effective at imparting a greater
sense of spaciousness than really exists.
 Substantial freeboard and draft make it possible to store the RIB over
part of the engine room in a separate compartment with launching
gear. (Click image to enlarge)
In the middle of the accommodation deck is a pair of cabins
with twin lower berths. The unique, round VIP cabin with a skylight is
positioned in the bow. Its bed is also angled at 45 degrees to centerline, which
keeps its occupants out of sight of the door and makes it seem cozy and private.
All cabins feature indirect lighting in place of typical halogen or LED
downlights for a softer ambiance. The two cabins—a single for the captain and one with upper and
lower bunks for crew—are aft, with a separate staircase from the aft deck. These
cabins and a rather nice L-shaped galley occupy a space between the owner’s
cabin and the engine room, where two 2,400-hp MTUs have pride of place.
New-generation Arneson ASD16L sterndrives specifically designed for this project
deliver a 38-knot cruising speed and a thrilling 44 knots maximum. A garage for
a tender and Jetskis is suspended over the engine room. Its door opens without
disturbing aft-deck seating and reveals a clever folding platform for launching
water toys. As the Ferretti Group’s top performance line, the boats are built light and
strong using a vacuum resin-infusion molding process. A deep-V hullform and fine
entry provide both a fast transition to semi-planing speeds and safe, tight
turning. While the boats are beautiful at dockside, Pershing is proudest of the
small details that separate a successful speedboat from the pack. One such
innovation is the new patented chain lock system that prevents the boat’s
anchor chain from bouncing into a tangled mess. Elegant in its simplicity, the
Pershing system utilizes a simple air bag that inflates, pinning the chain in
the forepeak while the boat is under way. It deflates with the touch of a
button for anchoring.
