First Pershing GTX70 takes to the water

The first Pershing GTX70, an agile and dynamic concentration of the innovations introduced by the GTX series, was launched last March 19 in the port of Fano. The third model in the Sport Utility Yachts range—which marks the beginning of Pershing's 40th anniversary—delivers the sporty spirit and incredibly liveable spaces of the previous models, but in a more compact format that promises a sensational new on-board experience.

Pershing GTX70, with a length of 21.88 meters and a beam of 5.42 meters, is the result of collaboration between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari, Vallicelli Design, and the Group’s Engineering Department. The new hull was produced at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mould facility, which brings together the brand’s advanced technology and signature craftsmanship, and the boat’s construction was completed in the new Mondolfo production area where the GTX range is built.

The interior and exterior spaces are more extensive than on other models of similar length, ensuring an extraordinarily comfortable experience by increasing on-board liveability and offering direct contact with the water. Pershing GTX70 extends across two decks and a sportbridge and can accommodate up to six guests in three cabins.

The exterior design, in classic Pershing gray, reprises some of the standout style features seen on all GTX models. The slightly convex, stanchion-free sheer line runs from bow to stern, joining up with the bulwarks on either side of the cockpit, which open out to form two terraces that significantly increase the living space in the beach area. The sleek, sweeping lines, combined with the near vertical bow, endow this model with an unrivaled elegance.

The beach area aft, furnished on this first unit with a sunpad (OPT) incorporated in the transom structure, has a total surface of 23 m² when the side terraces are open. Another standout feature is the stern swim platform with dual linear lift technology, which increases the available space by aligning the platform with the beach area and can also be used to launch a jet ski or a Williams 325 tender.

The importance of the concept of space is clear on the main deck, which has a seamless, open design. The cockpit, which is fully shaded by the sportfly, contains a generous C-shaped sofa and a table. As on Pershing GTX80, the exterior and interior lounge areas are connected via the galley, thanks in part to a pocket-up-down glass panel incorporated in the galley unit. Moving forward, the importance of the widebody structure is clear to see in the layout of the living space, which contains two facing L-shaped sofas that give the area an even greater sense of harmony. The colors used for the interiors of this first unit have been chosen to highlight the contrasts between different elements, such as the dark nubuck leather upholstery of the sofas paired with the muted tones of the nearby stairwell. The ceiling is decorated with LED light strips that deliver diffused light across the entire deck space—a feature also reprised on the lower deck.

The lower deck contains three cabins and three en suite bathrooms, in a layout that optimizes the spaces so that guests can enjoy maximum comfort in the sleeping area too.

Pershing GTX70’s 16-square-meter sportbridge is split into three spacious areas for sunbathing, dining, and the helm station. On this model, it also features the innovative electric bimini top with prepreg carbon poles, available as an option, which can be used to shade the dining area and helm station.

Equipped with three 900-hp Volvo Penta D13 IPS1200 units, the Pershing GTX70 reaches a top speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots (preliminary data). The yacht has CE Class A certification, the safest for boats under 24 m.
