Pershing Pershing 5X

About this yacht

The Pershing 5X represents a defining moment in modern yacht design—the first of Pershing's "Generation X" series, where aeronautical-inspired performance meets Italian craftsmanship. Launched in 2016, this 16.51-meter hardtop coupé transforms the traditional motor yacht into something closer to a fighter jet on water. The aerodynamic superstructure showcases Pershing's signature styling: protective side wings frame the cockpit, while an innovative glass door and window system allows seamless integration between exterior and interior spaces. Four elliptical portholes per side give the hull its distinctive, aggressive stance—a design that's as functional as it is striking. Performance credentials match the bold aesthetics. Twin engine configurations offer flexibility for different cruising styles: Volvo IPS950 D11 units with 725hp each deliver a refined 30-knot cruise and 36-knot maximum, while the optional CAT 12.9 engines at 1,000hp each—paired with Top System 75X surface drives—push the envelope to 41 knots cruising and 45 knots flat out. Both setups come prepared for Easy Dock joystick control, making close-quarters maneuvering effortless despite the yacht's spirited character. The fiberglass hull carries CE (B) certification for offshore passages up to 200 nautical miles from shore, with a shallow 1.35-meter draft opening access to secluded anchorages. Inside, the layout accommodates up to 12 guests across two well-appointed cabins, including a magnificent full-beam owner's suite that anchors the lower deck. What sets this hardtop cruiser apart is its adaptive design philosophy. Flexible spaces reconfigure for changing weather, while the interiors balance natural light with soft tones and lacquered finishes—creating an atmosphere that remains welcoming whether you're carving through open water at speed or entertaining at anchor. The Pershing 5X doesn't just promise new horizons; it delivers them at pace.
