Pershing 8X

The Pershing 8X carries the low, wide-shouldered profile the yard is known for, and at 25 metres it reads as a performance yacht that still has room to live aboard properly. Four cabins sleep up to 9 guests, which puts it in a useful middle ground: enough separation for two families or a group of friends to have their own space, without the scale of a full crewed superyacht. The cockpit and aft deck stay close to the water, so guests moving between the swim platform and the shade of the deck feel connected to the sea rather than perched above it.

Out of a Sardinian base, the 8X suits routes where speed matters as much as anchoring time — a run along the Costa Smeralda coast from Porto Cervo toward Porto Rotondo and Cala di Volpe covers ground quickly, leaving more hours to swim in the bays that front that stretch of coast. The same hull works well for a day circuit into the Maddalena Archipelago, where calmer, more sheltered water inside the park makes for safe, unhurried swim stops with children or less experienced swimmers aboard, before the yacht's turn of speed brings everyone back to Porto Cervo or Palau before the afternoon wind builds.

This is a yacht for a group that wants a sporty day on the water with the option of staying over — nine guests across four cabins is enough to keep a family charter or a close group of friends comfortable without needing tonnage built for large parties. It suits charterers who value handling and a fast passage as much as they value the anchorage itself, and who want a single vessel that can do a brisk Costa Smeralda run one day and a slower, swim-focused stop in the Maddalena the next.
