While she has a family look and feel, the Pershing GTX90 yacht boasts a unique personality, a delightful surprise in the realm of luxury yachts. This distinction stems from Pershing’s collaboration with a different design studio than those used for their other Sport Utility Yachts, making the GTX90 a standout in both aesthetics and functionality.
The GTX90 is part of a remarkable range that includes the GTX70, GTX80, and the GTX116. Each model is characterized by a flying bridge, a sporty hardtop, and a magnificent blend of curves and straight lines. The bow of the 92-foot (nearly 28-meter) GTX90 is particularly noteworthy, sharing design elements with its siblings, yet features a gentle rake that sets it apart. The aft main deck’s fold-down sides further enhance its versatility.
Innovations arise from the Vallicelli design studio, sparking notable modifications throughout the yacht. For instance, the flying bridge registers at 43 percent larger than those typically found on similar-sized megayachts, measuring an impressive 355 square feet (33 square meters). This spacious design ensures that all eight guests can comfortably relish the breathtaking views. A further enhancement includes the strategic placement of the beam, which extends to the folding aft sides, transforming the aft deck into an expansive 398 square feet (37 square meters) of entertainment space.
The center sunpad remains stationary, yet it seamlessly integrates into a vast indoor-outdoor area through a wide opening glass door. This door’s design features four sliding panels that stack neatly to starboard, with a fixed fifth panel positioned behind the stairs to the flying bridge, ensuring unobstructed movement for guests and crew alike. The widebody design amplifies leisure space within and outside the yacht, using the entire beam effectively while maintaining practicality and style.
Inside, the layout is entirely open, with a show kitchen strategically positioned to port at the aft-deck entrance. This innovative design features an elegantly styled bar-height counter, cleverly concealing the chef’s activities from the dining area. The dining space is located opposite the kitchen, with the saloon seating area slightly shifting forward, a departure from the traditional design norm. Options abound for the seating configuration, including a spacious L-shaped settee or two facing couches, catering to the desires of luxury yachting.
The GTX90 can comfortably accommodate eight guests below decks across four beautifully appointed staterooms, highlighted by a full-beam master suite. The VIP stateroom is situated at the forefront, while the remaining guest quarters comprise a double and a twin cabin located aft of the master suite. Although many guests may find themselves retreating below merely for sleep, the adventurous spirit of the GTX90, which can achieve speeds of up to 35 knots, naturally invites everyone to enjoy the great outdoors. The flying bridge serves as the ideal gathering spot, featuring expansive sunpads at the rear and a shaded dining area under the hardtop, while a secondary helm station ensures that the captain can navigate from this delightful outdoor space.
Capping it all off is the striking Pershing Anniversary Silver hull color, a sophisticated touch that will make its debut at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival this fall.
