Famed Italian yacht makers Pershing S.p.A adds yet another jewel to their crown with the Pershing 64’, a sleek 64-footer offering both the comfort, space and luxury of a flybridge craft, along with the exhilaration of open sports-style performance.

Designed by Fulvio De Simoni, the 64’ features a spacious saloon that can be opened to the sky and closed (with air-conditioning to boot), an adjustable hard top, and decadent furnishings fitted in partnership with Poltrona Frau, a renowned Italian leather furniture manufacturer.

Performance also shares center stage, with twin 1550hp MAN engines and Arneson ASD 14L drives, capable of delivering an impressive 46 knots – although why the luxurious yacht’s privileged crew would want to get anywhere in a hurry while on board such a comfortable vessel is anybody’s guess.
