The Pershing 80’ has smooth sleek exterior design, which is slimmer, more streamlined and more aggressive than its predecessor. The windows are particularly long and graceful, making the interiors appear brighter. The new Pershing 80’ exudes the typical Pershing qualities of sporting style, speed and control that have been further enhanced. It is the brainchild of yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni and has been specifically designed to offer high performance.

Poltrona Frau, one of the world’s best known leather furniture manufacturers, has designed and crafted all the helm station seating and tops, from the dashboard to the central driver and two co-pilot seats. The yacht’s construction process uses the special fibre glass vacuum moulding ‘Scrimp’ system. The boat boasts numerous refined features, such as the elegant slide away glass partition, which is designed in collaboration with Besenzoni. This area includes two separate sections with an electro-hydraulic drive mechanism that slides the sections to a central module, which then drops into the floor providing an interesting design solution which joins the exterior and interior of the yacht together into one harmonious open space.

All fittings are furnished with pore oak, whereas wengè parquet has been selected for the floor. Practicality and hi-tech design also distinguishes the spacious cockpit, featuring three sofas upholstered in a waterproof fabric, a cocktail cabinet with a built-in sink, a teak table and a barbecue. The central area of the sundeck transforms into a spacious lunch table. The unique open-view maxi window in the Master Cabin is an extraordinarily light and airy feature.

Ferretti 881 RPH has been designed to maintain the structural excellence of the original yacht Ferretti 881, with the addition of an upper deck containing a pilot house that dominates the sea. Coming on board, the spaciousness of the interior together with the use of light tones, such as elm and soft-coloured materials make the salon stand out in terms of size and luminosity. The living area has a symmetrical layout, with a double sofa on both sides. Situated on the lower deck, the master cabin has two large open windows on either side which make it an extremely spacious and luminous suite. In addition to the master cabin there are two twin bed cabins with en suite bathrooms and a VIP cabin in the bow.

The Ferretti Group includes famous brands such as, Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Bertram, Riva, Mochi Craft, CRN and Ferretti Custom Line.

The 8th Phuket International Boat Show, the largest Thai boat show and one of the most important event for the Asian nautical market, was held from 6-9 January 2011.
