With the launch of the Pershing GTX70, the GTX series continues to push the boundaries of luxury yachting, delivering a compact yet dynamic cruising experience. As the smallest model in the series, the GTX70 combines the luxury and performance of its predecessors with unparalleled agility, offering an exhilarating ride on the water. The world premiere, held in the iconic waters of Capri, marked a pivotal moment in the brand’s 40th anniversary celebrations and showcased Pershing’s relentless drive for innovation and craftsmanship.
Measuring 21.76 meters in overall length and with a beam of 5.42 meters, the GTX70 stands out as one of the most compact yachts in its category. Despite its smaller dimensions, Pershing has masterfully designed the interior and exterior to maximize onboard living space, offering an unprecedented level of comfort. Developed through a collaboration between the Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, Vallicelli Design, and the Group’s Engineering Department, the GTX70 exemplifies Pershing’s commitment to combining high performance with exceptional luxury.
Manufactured at Ferretti Group’s Mondolfo facility, where cutting-edge technology and expert craftsmanship meet, the GTX70 boasts advanced construction techniques. This model features two decks and a sportbridge, comfortably accommodating up to six guests in three luxurious cabins. The design is driven by a singular vision: to provide the best in both performance and comfort, making every voyage feel like a five-star retreat.
One of the most notable features of the GTX70 is its focus on maximizing both interior and exterior space. Compared to other yachts in the same category, the interior space is 10% larger, while the exterior offers a generous 30% increase in usable space. This ensures greater comfort for passengers and a closer connection with the water. The stern is designed with two distinct levels: the first, a beach area directly connected to the water, and the second, an elevated social area for gatherings and relaxation. The beach area can be expanded to 23 square meters by extending the side terraces, increasing the yacht’s beam to nearly 8 meters. This clever design allows the GTX70 to offer a sense of openness and freedom typically found only on much larger vessels.
The main deck design focuses on seamless integration between the living spaces and the surrounding environment. The back deck features a sunbathing platform and comfortable seating by Modenatech, utilizing carbon fiber for enhanced style and comfort. For those seeking extra shade, an optional retractable electric awning can be added. Three steps lead up to the cockpit, shaded by the sportfly, where a C-shaped sofa and table create a perfect space for socializing while remaining closely connected to the sea. The open-plan galley, located on the port side, is equipped with an array of high-end appliances and storage options, creating a truly integrated space for dining and entertaining. The L-shaped sofas and adjustable table in the main lounge create a harmonious flow, making the space feel more expansive despite the yacht’s compact size.
The interior of the GTX70 is crafted to optimize liveability. The layout is designed to create an open, airy feel, and the use of contrasting colors and materials enhances the modern aesthetic. The lighting design, featuring Altraluce’s signature LED light strips, ensures soft, diffused illumination throughout the deck. In the main lounge, dark nabuk upholstery contrasts beautifully with the neutral tones of the staircase, enhancing the sense of space and luxury.
The raised helm station at the bow offers impressive 360-degree visibility, aided by a windscreen with no central pillar, a signature feature of Pershing yachts. The station is equipped with dual monitors and a joystick for precise control, ensuring that the captain has an unparalleled driving experience. The helm station is conveniently located next to the bow area, which can be outfitted with a sun pad and a dinette, allowing for an expansive space for lounging or entertaining.
Below deck, a staircase leads to three beautifully designed cabins, each with its own en suite bathroom. The master suite, located midships, features a full-beam layout with ample storage, a walk-in wardrobe, and a separate bathroom. The forward VIP cabin is cleverly designed to maximize floor space, while the guest cabin features two crosswise beds, further optimizing the layout. A practical laundry room is also accessible from the hallway, adding a touch of convenience and functionality. The guest cabins are strategically positioned for privacy, separated from the crew quarters, which are located forward.
In line with the design on the main deck, the lower deck also focuses on maximizing space and light. Mirrored surfaces are used to create a sense of openness, while the lighting design reprises the LED strips, highlighting the yacht’s elegant interior. Every detail of the lower deck’s design, from the choice of materials to the layout of the cabins, is intended to create a serene and luxurious environment for guests.
The sportbridge, despite the yacht’s more compact size compared to larger models, still offers a generous 16 square meters of space. This area is divided into three distinct sections: a sunbathing area, a dining area, and the helm station. The full-beam sunbathing area at the stern is connected to the dining area by an L-shaped sofa with an extending table, making it ideal for relaxation or socializing. Forward, the helm station occupies the central section of the beam, ensuring perfect visibility for docking. An optional bimini top can provide shade for the dining and helm areas, further enhancing the comfort of the space.
Powered by three 900-horsepower Volvo Penta D13 IPS1200 engines, the GTX70 is capable of reaching a top speed of 36 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots, making it one of the fastest yachts in its class. The yacht is equipped with advanced technologies, including Volvo’s IPS electro-hydraulic steering, HUMPHREE interceptor trim control, and Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizers, ensuring smooth handling and excellent stability. The GTX70 also holds CE Class A certification, ensuring the highest level of safety for yachts under 24 meters.
With the Pershing GTX70, luxury yachting is redefined. It brings together cutting-edge technology, exceptional performance, and sophisticated design in a compact yet powerful package. For those who seek the ultimate balance between style, comfort, and speed on the water, the GTX70 sets a new benchmark in the world of luxury yachts.
