The dominant species

John Joseph “Black Jack” Pershing was an American General who distinguished himself in the Spanish-American war for his bravery and outstanding tactical skill. Our Pershing is the utmost expression of performance, technology and innovation in the yachting world, matched with the very best of the Italian sense of style, beauty and luxury, evoking the constant search for more surprising designs, more sophisticated materials, and more elegant furnishings.

With the appeal of a one-of-a-kind style, we say that Pershing sports yachts don’t just sail; they fly over the water – the fastest-moving of all, in design, luxury and technology. And Pershing’s signature thrill extends to a new range of sport utility yachts that combines elegance and spaciousness: the GTX Series.

Pershing Yachts History

In 1981, Tilli Antonelli, Fausto Filippetti, and Giuliano Onori pooled their talent and creativity to found Cantieri Navali dell’Adriatico in the small town of Mondolfo, Italy, introducing their first boat within a year. They started by producing laminate boats but became intrigued by the possibilities offered by motor yachts. At that time, motor yachts were designed to deliver the utmost in luxury and comfort with little attention given to power. The trio decided to combine the lavishness of motor yachts with the power of speedboats.

With the help of gifted yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni, in 1985 Pershing Yachts was launched. The first Pershing vessel, a 45′ open yacht, successfully embodied their vision, delivering power and speed in a sumptuous package. Pershing’s continuing commitment to innovation led to growing demand in a wider market. During the early 1990s the company gained worldwide popularity, expanding their market to include Mediterranean countries, the United States, and the Far East.

In 1998 the company joined the Ferretti Group, a leading enterprise in the luxury yacht sector, in a move that has increased Pershing’s presence in the American marketplace. The company’s inspired creations have garnered it multiple awards for creativity and innovation, and today it continues as one of the leading brands worldwide in the production of luxurious high performance motor yachts, with models ranging from 50 to 115 feet in length.

Pershing’s Progress and Growth

August 13th, 2021

Home » Pershing’s Progress and Growth

Since its start in 1981, Pershing Yachts  consistently built more and more innovative yacht designs. By the early 1990s, the shipyard realized the value of expanding their market. They implemented a new international policy to focus on the United States, the Mediterranean countries, and East Asia.

In 1998 Pershing made the move to join the Ferretti Group, a luxury yacht business, to ensure future growth for the company. Fourteen years later, in 2012, the Chinese-owned Weichai Group, that specializes in the design, manufacture, and sale of diesel engines, became the main stockholder of Ferretti Group. This change added financial strength and backing to enhance a strategic vision for Pershing.

The dominant species

Pershing yachts: uniting high performance with minimalistic opulence.

Pershing Yachts was set up in 1985, a year of fertile ground for visionaries. It was the year the internet was presented, cell phones were launched and the first brand´s motor yacht was born.

A luxury Speedboat envisioned by Tilli Antonelli, Fausto Tilippetti, and Giuliano Onori and designed by Fulvio de Simoni, as high-performing as a powerboat, but as comfortable and spacious as a motor yacht. The Pershing 45 came to life, the beginning of a true revolution that spawned many vain attempts to copy it since then.

In 1998 Pershing Yachts joined Ferretti Group, creating a foundation for tremendous growth. In 2012 Weichai Group turned into the main stockholder of Ferretti Group, which provided the corporation with financial strength, know-how, and strategic vision.

As of today, this yacht builder is an icon in the history of the yachting industry and one of the leading shipyards on a global level.

The brand became a reference for beauty, style, and Italian fashionability, thanks to the many designs chosen in the past that arose from the desire to always be at the forefront and ahead of the times. Pershing´s homely style, impressive speed, and functional and beautiful design are now consolidated concepts.

Every buyer will enjoy technological advances and brilliant innovations that set new standards in terms of performance and comfort. This is one of the reasons why the brand has made a lasting impact on the global yachting industry.

In a nutshell, Pershing stands for technical revolution, innovations that have made history, and designs that have changed the world of navigation.
