Ferretti Group has launched the “ideal model” for an American owner who had “spent years searching for a yacht that’s perfect for Miami”.

Ferretti Group has staged the launch of the first Pershing GTX116 for an American owner who has named the yacht Caffeine in honour of the ingredient that made his fortune. The yacht is painted a new shade of grey, with a special shade of blue for the deckhouse. 

“I spent years searching for a yacht that’s perfect for Miami, but could never find one. Now, my ideal model is finally a reality thanks to the Pershing GTX116,” the owner said. 

A design collaboration between Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design, Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee and its Engineering Department, the GTX116 is arguably the brand’s most exciting new model since the Pershing 140 and takes the brand into the ‘sport utility yacht’ sector.

Featuring a sleek, streamlined profile, the first GTX116 boasts the sporty power Pershing is renowned for, with a triple waterjet system 2,000hp MAN V12s plus waterjets providing hull one with a top speed of 35.5 knots and a cruising speed of 29.5 knots. The standard engines are three 1,800hp MAN V12 units. 

As it provides both speed and space, the GTX116 has also been described as a ‘a performance SUV’.The yacht provides guests with 150sqm (1,615sqft) of outdoor areas. These include a 39sqm, teak-decked beach club protected by an electro-hydraulic taffrail that opens to connect the beach area with the swim platform, creating a huge space at the water’s edge.

The 40sqm sundeck, reached by two symmetrical outdoor stairways, has the upper helm station, generous spaces for socialising including a lounge area and large wet bar, plus a carbon hard top. There’s also a large Jacuzzi on the foredeck. 

Indoor areas include a saloon, dining area, galley and indoor helm on the main deck, while the lower deck has a full-beam master suite, four more guest cabins and the crew quarters forward. The aft garage can contain a 5m-plus tender, jet-ski and other water toys.
