Pershing 8X

Pershing 8X carries the low, sculpted profile the Italian builder is known for: a sport yacht built around speed and an open, sociable cockpit rather than the boxier lines of a classic motor yacht. At 25 metres she takes up to 9 guests across 4 cabins, a scale that keeps the deck uncrowded and the pace brisk rather than stately.

Departing from Puerto Banús, she suits an afternoon run west along the coast toward Estepona's quieter beaches, where the water sits calmer and the crowds thinner than the bays right off the port. Her speed turns that stretch — a slog for a slower boat — into a real option even on a shorter charter: swim, hold position for an hour near the coast, then turn back before the light drops.

The four cabins give this yacht genuine flexibility: a couple travelling with friends, a small family, or a compact group of colleagues can all be accommodated without feeling cramped. Because a sport yacht like this covers ground faster than a displacement-hull vessel of similar length, fuel use over a full day out differs from a slower coastal boat — worth asking the crew about directly when weighing this yacht against a similarly sized alternative for the same day.
