Waterfront: Quantum Leap
Pershing has built it's biggest yacht ever a 115-footer.

Pershing 115
Performance and style have always been hallmarks of Italian yacht manufacturers, but production builder Pershing has taken both to a new level with the launch of its biggest boat ever. Designed by Fulvio De Simoni, the 115-footer is fitted with twin MTU diesel engines totaling 7,400 horsepower and two Rolls-Royce KaMeWa waterjet drives that propel it to speeds up to 43 knots. Add to this an optional 5,100-hp Textron Lycoming turbine and the 115-footer will reach a remarkable 58 knots.
 
An extra 27 feet in LOA over Pershing’s previous flagship allowed for some creativity in design. The yacht features a private sunbathing deck above the cockpit and a foredeck dinette that lowers to provide additional sun-worshiping space. The superstructure’s innovative shape created a mezzanine deck between the main and lower decks that encompasses a private study, television den and dayhead. Eight guests are accommodated on the lower deck forward of the stern crew quarters.
