Used Pershing 88 Yacht For Sale
SUMMARY
The Pershing 88 is an 88.5-foot luxury motoryacht first launched by Ferretti-owned Pershing at the 2001 Miami International Boat Show. Designed in collaboration between Fulvio de Simoni, a renowned naval architect, and the Ferretti Group’s in-house team, the 88 is sleek and sporty but eminently hospitable. Boat design historian Paolo Tumminelli saw this model as forming a new identity for yachts, somewhere between the automobile and the airplane, and it is easy to see why with a vessel that so evenly balances comfort and high-tech performance.
More Information On This Yacht Model
Stairs on either side of the stunning swim platform (large enough to store a tender) lead to the aft deck cockpit, which features a wavy sofa next to a round table, opposite a plush sunpad. This theme is carried into the salon, which features a C-shaped seating area, round table, and a curvy freestanding settee. The yacht is decorated with rich, bright cherrywood throughout, with cheerful light upholstery and furnishings.
The hardtop features a sunroof that, when lifted, transforms the two-seat helm station into a fresh, open lounge space. The foredeck features two large sunpads, perfect for cruising the Mediterranean, and an on-deck tender garage that can be launched and retrieved via a hydraulic crane.
Built with offshore cruising in mind, this yacht’s substantial hull houses two salons across the main and lower decks in addition to four cabins and five heads that accommodate up to eight. Accommodation, galley, and a lower salon are situated below deck, with a curvy C-shaped seating area around a round dining table. The amidships owner’s suite is located to your left from the stairs, past the day head. This suite features a double platform bed connected to a built-in desk and end-table that forms a stylish swoop around the room. Like each of the guest cabins, the owner’s suite has an ensuite bathroom with a separate shower.
Two crew quarters are located abaft the owner’s suite, providing a buffer from the aft engine room noise. Forward from the living area and down a short corridor are two twin cabins with ensuites. At the bow, the
VIP suite is brightened by mirrored panels behind the platform bed, reflecting the natural light from the porthole.
The 88 cruises comfortably at 38 knots but can reach top speeds of 45 knots with twin 1,830hp MTU diesel engines.
