Pershing 140 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 140 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Naval Architecture: Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 140 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Pershing 140 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. The 140 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom and a dressing room is a standout. The Mangusta 45, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 12 guests in 5 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Pershing 140 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots thanks to its 4 x 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and maximum speed of 38 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Mangusta 45 with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Mangusta 45, with the slowest cruising speed of 23 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Pershing 140 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Pershing Superyachts range or indeed its competitors.
