GTX116: the first project in the innovative GTX range takes shape.

Mondolfo, July 12, 2022 – Pershing’s signature DNA takes on a new dimension of comfort. The GTX116, the inaugural model in Pershing's GTX series, introduces a new era in the Sport Utility Yacht category, blending groundbreaking design with unparalleled comfort. This flagship yacht pushes the boundaries of the 20 to 40-meter segment, boasting impressive space, performance, and a five-cabin layout that enhances onboard living.

Exterior Design and Main Features:

• Outdoor Areas: 165 square meters of interconnected outdoor spaces provide exceptional comfort and a close connection to the water.
• Profile: The sleek, sporty silhouette is accentuated by a unique grey paint and large glazed surfaces that maximize natural light.
• Garage and Beach Club: The garage accommodates a tender over 5 meters long, a jet ski, and water toys. The 38-square-meter beach club, with a teak deck and an electro-hydraulic taffrail, creates a seamless transition to the water.
• Forward Living Area: This space, accessible from the exterior or via the bridge, can feature a Jacuzzi.
• Sundeck: The 41-square-meter sundeck, accessible via outdoor stairways, includes a second helm station and generous socializing spaces sheltered by a carbon hard top.

Interior Design and Layout:

• Seamless Flow: The design integrates exteriors and interiors, enhancing liveability. The main cockpit is furnished with a sofa, dining table, and cocktail bar, leading into a spacious main living area with a lounge, galley, and dining space.
• Balcony Option: A floor-to-ceiling glazed port side opens onto a four-meter-long balcony, increasing the open-air experience.
• Cabin Layouts: The standard five-cabin layout includes a full-beam master cabin with twin ensuite bathrooms, two VIP double cabins, and two twin-bed guest cabins, each with private bathrooms. An alternative layout offers a four-cabin arrangement with a living area.

The standard version has four 15-inch screens; the optional version for the first unit includes two 57-inch screens. Owners can choose between classic pilot seats or an integrated single seat.
