Pershing Yachts History & Heritage
The Pershing saga commenced in 1985 with the introduction of the Pershing 45, a sports yacht masterfully designed by the already esteemed Fulvio De Simoni. The ambitious objective was clear – to effortlessly blend the speed of a racing powerboat with the lavish comfort of a motor yacht.
The success of the Pershing 45 marked the arrival of the Pershing brand, paving the way for the rapid introduction of many more and larger yachts. The brand swiftly earned recognition as a symbol of sports yacht style and prowess. This reputation likely played a pivotal role in attracting the attention of the formidable Ferretti Group, leading to Pershing's acquisition in 1998.
Despite becoming part of the Ferretti Group, Pershing has steadfastly maintained its distinctive approach. Even with the yachts growing significantly in size, Fulvio De Simoni continues to be the driving force behind their design, ensuring a continued commitment to excellence.
