The Pershing 8X sits inside Pershing's carbon-fiber X Generation flagship line, an 83-foot Italian Sport Yacht built by Ferretti Group on twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesels at 2,638 hp each with Top System TS100 surface drives. Cruise sits at 41 knots with a max of 48 and roughly 310 nautical miles of range. Nova carries Seakeeper stabilization at rest, EasyDock joystick with Dynamic Positioning, a hydraulic bow thruster paired with a 31 hp hydraulic stern thruster, and dual 19 kW 120/240V 60 Hz generators.
Layout is three staterooms plus separate captain and double crew, sized for a full-crew ownership program. The master carries a chaise longue, 43-inch TV, and digital safe; VIP forward and a convertible twin with Pullman round out the guest layout. Frau leather, marble bar top, mosaic-tiled showers, and teak decks read to us as Pershing X Generation done at the top of the option sheet. Simrad navigation with three 16-inch MFDs and 24-inch monitor upgrades, AIS, KVH HD7 SAT, and Lumishore transom and hull-side underwater lights fill the electronics package.
With 311 hours on the meter, Nova is essentially a broken-in current-generation 8X built to charter-yacht standards on a proper full-crew program. The aft garage is prepared for tender or jet ski, and the hydraulic swim platform plus telescopic passerelle round out the deployment kit. Carbon-fiber hull construction and the surface-drive package are the two things that separate this platform from the wider 80-foot sport-yacht field. If a low-hour Italian carbon Sport Yacht fits your program, she earns the walkthrough.
