Five thousand two hundred horsepower, and a hull built to use every one of them.
Twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, 2,638 horsepower each, drive automated surface drives to a top speed of 48 knots, with a comfortable cruising range between 35 and 45 knots. The hull holds a constant twenty degree deep V deadrise with wide chine flats amidships, a shape that adds lift through the transition from displacement to plane rather than fighting it. Joystick control remains usable up to 42 knots, and automatic trim across the flaps and drive legs keeps the ride settled without the crew constantly working the throttles. Fuel capacity of 5,900 litres supports a 320 nautical mile range at cruise, enough for a genuine coastal passage without a fuel stop.
A curved carbon coaming does more than look good. It hides the whole companionway inside it.
Fulvio De Simoni drew the 8X to look compact from a distance and reveal her scale only up close. The flybridge sits recessed into the profile to keep the silhouette low, while a long overhang and tall coamings shelter the cockpit from spray at speed. Glass saloon doors retract directly into the deck rather than swinging open, keeping the transition between inside and out uninterrupted. Beneath the styling, the construction tells the real story: a lightweight carbon fibre superstructure and vacuum infused epoxy resin hull mouldings in place of heavier vinylester, the reason she weighs barely more than the smaller yacht she replaces.
Four cabins, eight berths, and headroom raised throughout the lower deck.
The full beam owner’s suite runs the width of the hull, finished with an ensuite that treats space itself as the real luxury rather than ornament. A VIP suite sits forward with a tall bed configuration, and two twin berth guest cabins complete the layout, their berths widened and spaced further apart than on the outgoing model. Every lower deck cabin benefits from raised headroom, a detail that changes how a yacht like this actually lives day to day. Sixteen day guests can be accommodated when she is at anchor, with eight sleeping aboard in genuine comfort rather than at capacity.
The saloon feels noticeably wider than the numbers alone suggest.
Pershing’s design team used the 8X’s extra beam almost entirely on interior volume rather than deck space, and it shows most in the main deck saloon and dining area, which stretch further across the boat without narrowing the side decks that flank them. Retracting glass doors dissolve the boundary between saloon and cockpit whenever the weather allows, extending the entertaining space aft without a step or a threshold to cross. It is a layout built for a full complement of sixteen guests by day, with a compact flybridge kept low and out of the way rather than competing for attention with the space below.
Fifty seven tonnes, forty eight knots, and a hull that barely notices the difference.
She measures 25.6 metres, 83.9 feet, on a 5.9 metre beam, with a 1.4 metre draught and a light displacement of 57 tonnes. Twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines give her a 38 knot cruise and a 48 knot top speed, with 5,900 litres of fuel supporting a 320 nautical mile range. Four cabins sleep eight overnight, with sixteen day guests and three crew aboard to run her. Fulvio De Simoni handles naval architecture and exterior design, Pershing’s own design team takes the interior, and Ferretti Group’s engineering department stands behind the build. At just over seven million euros new, the 8X asks a serious price for a seriously capable yacht, and delivers on both counts.
