Pershing 9X -The Ultimate 'X' yacht

The Pershing 9X is the largest of the yacht maker's X lineup, boasting a stunning design, luxurious interiors, and impressive performance stats. The 9X may not be the biggest and most mouth-watering offering in Pershing's lineup — that honor goes to the Pershing 140 — however, don't overlook this 90-foot yacht.

The 9X is the result of Pershing's collaboration with Fulvio De Simoni, an Italian yacht designer with a long working relationship with the Mondolfo-based shipbuilder. Each model in the X series is designed with sleek, sporty exteriors that not only exude elegance but also symbolize raw power and sporty performance. The 9X takes the lead in the collection, ahead of other models named sequentially from 5X to 8X.

Aft Platform and Cockpit

A spacious bathing platform welcomes you aboard the 9X. Its teak-laid floor invites you onto the yacht, with stairs leading to the cozy cockpit.

Serving as an extension of the lounge, the 9X's cockpit features a huge sun pad aft. The forward section houses a living area featuring a small table, which occupants can electrically lower, providing extra shaded space for relaxation. Retractable glass doors and windows separate the cockpit from the main deck lounge, offering seamless integration between the two areas, a common theme with many of Pershing's yachts.

The ultimate indoor relaxation spot, the saloon offers plenty of sunlight and is as comfortable and luxurious as anything you'll find at this price point. Navigating the delicate balance between aesthetics and functionality, Pershing designed the 9X's interior in partnership with the Italian design house Poltrona Frau. The result? A stunning living area you may have no interest in leaving for a long time.

Aft, a large U-shaped sofa and coffee table furnish the saloon, while the front hosts a six-seater dining area just behind a high-tech helm station with three touchscreen monitors and leather seats.

Moving out of the saloon to the bow, you'll find a similarly functional and spacious foredeck where a U-shaped sofa and a table sit adjacent to a large sun pad. The area also incorporates a garage for additional storage space.

Lower Deck and Sundeck

A staircase next to the helm station descends to the 9X's well-laid-out cabins. The master cabin features a large bed, vanity desk, flat-screen TV, and an elegant ensuite bathroom. Additional guest accommodations include a VIP suite, a double cabin, and a twin cabin, each with ensuite bathrooms.

The sundeck offers an extra spot for outdoor relaxation and socializing. Customizable to different tastes and configurations, the standard format comes with a lounge dinette and sun pads and houses the boat's secondary helm station at the front.

Engine and Propulsion

Twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each generating an impressive 2,638 mhp, power the 9X's remarkable performance. Reaching a top speed of 42 knots, it cruises at 38 knots with a maximum range of 380 nautical miles.

A fully integrated control system, a result of collaboration between Pershing and brands like Top System, Onyx, Xenta Systems, and Naviop-Simrad, facilitates the operation of the advanced electro-hydraulic steer-by-wire system and the monitoring and navigation systems.

The flagship of the X lineup, the Pershing 9X offers a striking blend of luxury, performance, and technology. Its stunning design and spacious yet elegant interior are all aligned to deliver the perfect 90-foot yacht for those seeking thrill, comfort, and style.
