Pershing 9Xcarbon-fibre sport yacht charter in Mallorca

Pershing, the Italian performance brand within Ferretti Group, builds its yachts at Mondolfo, and the 9X belongs to its X Generation: a maxi coupé rather than a flybridge yacht. Her construction is the heart of the story: the builder uses composite materials based on carbon fibre, with vinyl ester and epoxy resins. Her pace is just as striking: she cruises at 38 knots and tops out at 42. Large side wings and the aerodynamic profile of the sun deck give her a low, swept silhouette with real presence on the water. Even moored stern-to, she looks as though she is moving.

Underway she is driven from a leather helm station created with Poltrona Frau, and joysticks with surface propellers give precise handling in tight spaces, useful when easing into a busy marina or a narrow cala. On the sun deck a lounge dinette and a large sun pad sit just behind the helm seats, with the open sea on every side. Beneath it, the aft cockpit has a dining table shaded by the overhang of the sun deck, and an open-air area on the foredeck offers a quieter corner forward. The main deck saloon is wrapped in long windows, with soft grey seating and a dining table looking ahead, a calm and contemporary counterpoint to the energy outside.

Her toy box matches the mood: a Williams jet tender for getting ashore, two Seabobs, a paddle board, a wakeboard and snorkelling gear. With the tender and Seabobs in the water, a quiet cove becomes the setting for an afternoon of exploring the shore and snorkelling over the rocks. Below, four cabins give up to 12 guests a private place to change and unwind, with six heads and three crew looking after the yacht. Day and sunset charters are her natural setting, and the team is happy to discuss anything longer. Bookings are handled from Mallorca, where the team confirms her berth once your dates are set.
