Pershing built the GTX90 on spec - and moved the 90-foot queue
The 90-foot gap closes
Ferretti Group confirmed that the first Pershing GTX90 went into the water at the port of Fano on 1 July. At 27.97 metres with a 6.89-metre beam, she fills the one slot missing from the GTX line, which until now ran GTX70, GTX80 and then jumped to the GTX116, as Megayacht News noted in its launch coverage. The GTX90 is the range's only model in the 90-to-100-foot band.
Twin 2,200 hp MAN V12X engines drive Castoldi TurboDrive 600 HCT waterjets, with the yard quoting a preliminary 35-knot top speed and a 30-knot cruise. A pair of Seakeeper NG18 gyros steadies four en-suite cabins for eight guests, per BOAT International's report. The deck numbers are the real Pershing argument - 37 square metres of cockpit and another 33 on the sportbridge, with a double garage holding a Williams 395 SportJet and a jet ski.
Built before it sold
The schedule is the telling detail. This hull was started on spec in 2025 at Ferretti Group's Plug and Mould facility and completed at the new Mondolfo production area, where the entire GTX range is now built, per BOAT International. Ferretti Group only unveiled the model publicly on 18 June. Thirteen days later the boat was afloat.
A yard does not tie up capital in an unsold 28-metre unless it trusts both the demand and its own throughput. Dedicated GTX capacity at Mondolfo points to series production, not one hull per signed contract. That is the operating posture behind this launch, and it is the part a buyer can act on.
What this buys you
The first GTX90 makes her global show debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, per BOAT International. A finished, CE Class A certified 28-metre standing on a dock changes a negotiation in ways a rendering cannot. Anyone shopping this bracket can board the actual boat in eight weeks and weigh it against whatever delivery position a rival yard is quoting.
If you hold a deposit in the 90-foot segment, this launch is leverage in your next conversation with your yard. If you are still choosing, ask Pershing at Cannes where hulls two and three stand before you accept anyone's lead time. Spec production resets what "available" means, and Pershing just proved it can do it in this class.
