Pershing Celebrates Forty Years of Innovation and Excellence

From the ground-breaking debut of the Pershing 45 in 1985 to the sleek, powerful models of the present day, the brand has continually pushed the boundaries of nautical design. Born from the vision of three friends, Tilli Antonelli, Fausto Filippetti and Giuliano Onori, and strengthened through key partnerships with designers such as Fulvio De Simoni, Pershing has become a name synonymous with avant-garde aesthetics and sporting luxury.

Over the past four decades, Pershing has introduced numerous innovations to the yachting world: from surface-piercing propeller systems and gas turbine propulsion to sophisticated onboard design features like concealed sliding doors and pillar-free windscreens. Their current fleet, including the dynamic Generation X series and the versatile GTX range, reflects an unrelenting commitment to performance, comfort and style.

Production remains anchored in Mondolfo, Italy, where Pershing’s world-class shipyard fuses craftsmanship with advanced manufacturing processes. With the support of Ferretti Group and majority shareholder Weichai, Pershing has expanded their global reach, especially in key markets across Asia, the Americas and Europe.

More than a shipyard, Pershing represents a design philosophy: sporty yet elegant, relentlessly forward-looking, and deeply rooted in Italian excellence. For forty years, they have not simply made history, but defined the very future of yachting.
