As the entry point into the Pershing GTX range, the GTX70 introduces a bold reinterpretation of Pershing’s sport-driven DNA, pairing high-speed performance with a fresh take on onboard living.
Pushing Beyond the Traditional Sport Yacht
Announced in 2024 and now entering production, the GTX70 is the response of Pershing to growing demand for sporty flybridge yachts that don’t sacrifice comfort for performance. With exterior and interior design by Vallicelli Design and naval architecture from the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, the yacht represents a confident shift in style and volume without compromising Pershing’s signature aggression on the water.
The GTX70 is built from fiberglass and rides on a high-performance planing hull. Triple Volvo Penta D13-IPS1200 engines deliver a combined 2,700 horsepower, pushing the yacht to a top speed of 35 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 30 knots. These numbers firmly place the GTX70 within the performance category, yet the design makes room for a more relaxed and spacious onboard lifestyle than previous models of similar length.
More Space, Smarter Layouts
On deck, the GTX70 introduces several features that push the boundaries of what’s typically expected from a yacht in this size range. The beach area and cockpit expand to 42 square meters thanks to fold-out bulwarks, turning the aft section into a proper social zone with direct access to the water. The beach platform itself features a three-level lift system with integrated steps and a linear lift, offering a smooth transition between lounging, swimming, and tender access.
The widebody superstructure includes walkable side sections, supporting the yacht’s emphasis on volume and flow without interrupting the sleek profile. The flybridge remains in keeping with the sporty personality of the yacht but offers additional lounging space for guests seeking open-air relaxation.
Modern Deck Plan for Modern Use
The interiors of the motor yacht follow what Pershing describes as a “360-degree” main deck concept. Aft, the galley is positioned to link the cockpit directly with the salon, reinforcing the yacht’s indoor-outdoor character. This arrangement is tailored to social cruising, where the transition from open-air dining to the main salon feels fluid and unrestricted.
Inside the salon, two opposing sofas create a balanced, social seating area, ideal for informal gatherings or simply watching the world go by through large, surrounding windows. The emphasis throughout is on light, visibility, and spatial awareness, diverging from the more compartmentalized layouts seen on traditional sports yachts.
Below deck, the GTX70 sleeps up to six guests in three cabins, comprising a full-beam owner’s suite with en suite bathroom, a forward VIP cabin with its own en suite, and a twin cabin with a shared head. Each space is designed with contemporary styling and efficient use of volume, reinforcing the idea that comfort and speed don’t have to exist in tension.
Pershing’s GTX Models: Power Scaled Up
The GTX70’s arrival at Venice marks the latest chapter in Pershing’s growing GTX lineup, which now includes three models ranging from 21.88 to 35.24 meters.
Launched in 2024, the Pershing GTX80 is a 24m sports yacht with four en suite cabins and space for up to eight guests. Designed for outdoor living, it features a 23-square-meter carbon fiber sundeck, a signature SeaScape beach club, and seamless transitions between indoor and open-air spaces. Powered by triple 1,000hp Volvo Penta engines, the GTX80 reaches 34 knots and was awarded Best Exterior Design (24–30m) at the 2024 World Yachts Trophies.
