Forty five knots at the top, forty one at cruise, delivered with a crispness that belies her size.
Standard Volvo Penta IPS950 pod drives give her dynamic positioning and vector joystick control alongside genuine pace, while the optional CAT 12.9 surface drive package or twin MAN engines push the numbers further for owners who want the sharper edge. Fuel capacity of 2,200 litres returns a 280 nautical mile range, enough for a full day’s running between ports without a second thought. Acceleration onto the plane is crisp with minimal bow rise, and she tracks through turns with a surefootedness that makes her easy to place precisely, even at speed. Interceptor auto-trim technology keeps her settled regardless of load or sea state.
The swept-back wings that flank her hull are Pershing’s signature, and the 5X wears them with real intent.
Sculpted black glazing sits against the metallic white hull for a profile that looks fast even tied up alongside. Aft, tinted glass wing inserts shelter the cockpit without blocking sightlines, and a motorised partition slides away at the touch of a button to join cockpit and saloon into one open space. The bathing platform, hydraulic on the higher specification, stows a Williams 280 jet tender and opens to form a seawater pool up to 0.6 metres deep once the tender is launched, a genuinely clever use of what is usually dead space on a yacht this size.
Two cabins, four guests, and not a wasted centimetre between them.
The full beam owner’s stateroom sits amidships with its own en suite, the most stable and private position on board, while the VIP cabin forward is markedly more generous than most yachts in this class allow. A central companionway leads down from the saloon, which itself runs bright and open behind glass construction and an opening sunroof, with an optional retractable glazed panel available above the helm for owners who want still more light. A portside dining area, served by the starboard galley, keeps meals connected to the view rather than tucked away below.
The cockpit is built to keep everyone outside for as long as possible.
An L-shaped banquette and sunpad anchor the space, while a dedicated garage stows water toys and inflatables out of sight until they are needed. The deployable tender platform doubles as a private pool once the Williams jet tender is launched, turning the transom into the yacht’s social centre at anchor. Forward, the saloon’s motorised partition opens fully to the cockpit, so the boundary between indoor and outdoor entertaining effectively disappears in good weather. It is a layout built around movement, from helm to cockpit to swim platform, rather than static, formal spaces.
A Fulvio De Simoni design through and through, the 5X carries the same design language as every yacht in the current Pershing range.
She is built and engineered by Pershing’s own engineering department, and is available from 1,200,000 euros, a price that puts genuine 45 knot performance within reach of a wider range of owners than the yard’s larger models allow. Day capacity for eight and overnight accommodation for four, with berths for a single crew member, mark her out as a serious weekend and short cruise yacht rather than a full time liveaboard, and that focus is exactly what gives her the pace and the presence she has. For an owner who wants speed without stepping up to a much larger hull, she is a compelling starting point.
