Pershing’s aluminium-hulled 42.5-metre flagship 140 – the first designs for which have already been released – is in build, and the latest renderings give a good indication of what the guest experience will be like on deck. Although this is a fast yacht with typical Pershing family styling, the extra space means that the outdoor guest areas have been completely rethought. This is particularly the case on the aft deck, which has been raised to create a mezzanine deck directly connected with the beach club below. Folding beach club terraces create a large water-level space, with plenty of floor area over the sea.

Another key feature of the 140 is the protected and intimate foredeck area (below, in the open position), which is concealed by a platform when the yacht is under way. The upper deck serves as another spacious terrace for guests. The owner’s suite is on the main deck and there are three VIP doubles and one twin cabin on the lower deck.
