The Pershing 56 is a 57-foot express cruiser yacht that was launched by the Ferretti-owned, Italian yacht-building firm Pershing back in 2007. A true performance craft, the 56 reaches top speeds of 50 knots without ever losing its cool or its balance, while combining high-octane cruising with the sort of space, amenity, comfort and style that island-hoppers demand. Defined by aerodynamic curves, a silver-and-white livery, and chic, contemporary interiors, this is a vessel that proves speed and style need not be mutually exclusive.

There are a pair of modular sunpads on this yacht’s main deck, with a triple-width option out on the foredeck joined by an elevated leather sunpad to the rear with views out across the stern. Side steps back here lead down to a hydraulic swimming platform lined in durable teak and a large transom garage that can easily accommodate a Williams jet tender, while a retractable Besenzoni passerelle to stern offers easy boarding.
This yacht is an open model, so there is no separation between cockpit and main-deck salon, with weather-proof teak lining the entirety of the living space. There is a curved, L-shaped sofa to the rear and another L-shaped dining sofa to starboard that surrounds an extending table, while you will also find a wet-bar console in here featuring a grill, a sink and plenty of chilled storage. Up front there is forward-facing seating for four, plenty of hidden storage, a hydraulic sunroof and a modern helm station with Side Power bow thruster controls, a Maptech chartplotter, a Masters LCD engine feedback screen, Raymarine display panels, Simrad VHF, a White Star compass and BCS hydraulic power-steering.
Unusual pearwood surfaces with wengewood accents and ivory inlay give the lower deck a rich Eastern style, further enhanced by the use of opaque screen doors throughout. There is a dining lounge down here with leather sofas, a glossy timber table and a home entertainment tower. The galley, meanwhile, boasts a Raritan ice-chipper, a Tappan combination oven, a Bosch fridge and hob, a Miele dishwasher, rich timber cabinets and steel work surfaces, not to mention a smoked glass and steel Shoji screen that can be opened up to connect the kitchen to the lower-deck dining salon.
There is room for up to six overnight guests down here, across three en-suite cabins with oval portholes and plenty of head clearance, as well as a separate crew quarters. A double to the bow is joined by a starboard side twin berth, while a full-beam master cabin to aft boasts a queen-sized bed, bedside cabinets, full-height lockers, mirrored wall panels and a bathroom with Ritmonio fixtures, a frosted glass sink and a shower cubicle. You may find, however, that many models shipped to North America only feature a pair of cabins on the lower deck in order to create a vastly bigger living space on this level.
A pair of MAN 1360MHP CRM V12 diesel engines affixed to Arneson Surface drives offer top speeds of 50 knots even at near full-loads, with cruising speeds in the mid-40 knot range. What’s more, this yacht goes from zero to full-speed in less than a minute, while a proprietary hull keeps the 56 balanced and agile even as you race away from the pack.
