A different kind of Pershing
The GTX80 represents a deliberate widening of what a Pershing can be. Where the X Generation chases outright speed, the GTX range asks how much usable space and comfort the yard can build into a boat that still cruises hard. Delivered from 2024 as the second model in the line after the GTX116, the 80 brought the sport utility concept to a more accessible size. At just under 24 metres it offers the volume of a much larger yacht through clever use of beam and deck layout. It signalled that Pershing intended the GTX idea to become a full family rather than a one-off experiment.
The model landed to strong reviews and won design recognition on launch, which helped establish the GTX badge in the market. It answers a clear demand for yachts that carry a crowd in comfort for a day on the water while keeping real pace in reserve. The 80 competes with a growing class of wide-body sports cruisers from Italian and northern rivals. It has broadened Pershing's reach toward buyers who found the X boats too focused. In doing so it has become an important volume model for the yard.
Beam put to work
The GTX80 keeps a recognisably Pershing face, with a low screen and a sharp bow, but the body behind it is shaped for space rather than pure speed. The main deck runs at a single level and opens out through folding cockpit terraces that push the beam outward when the boat is at anchor. A large sportsbridge above adds an upper social zone and a second helm. The stern carries a proper beach club with access close to the water. The whole layout is built around spending time aboard rather than only moving quickly.
Design detail favours indoor and outdoor living flowing together, with big glazing and sliding doors linking the saloon to the cockpit. A carbon-fibre sundeck of around 23 square metres saves weight high up, which helps stability and handling. The tender and toys stow in a garage that keeps the aft deck clear for guests. Materials and finishes carry the contemporary Italian style the brand favours. The result feels more like a fast, open loft on the water than a traditional sports yacht.
The GTX80 trades a few knots for a beach club and a main deck built to host a crowd.
Four cabins and galley-up living
Below deck the GTX80 offers four cabins for eight guests, all arranged on the lower deck, with a two-berth crew cabin to keep service discreet. The full-beam owner's suite takes advantage of the wide hull, and the guest cabins are generous for the length. A galley-up arrangement on some layouts keeps the cook connected to the main social space, which suits the entertaining brief. Hull windows and large glazing fill the accommodation with light. The feel below is bright, wide and calm.
The interior is planned around a boat that hosts numbers rather than one built purely for a couple. Social spaces on the main deck and in the cockpit take priority, and the cabins serve as comfortable retreats. Finishes can be specified to taste through the Ferretti Group's material options. Storage and service areas are sized for full days aboard with guests. The layout reflects the sport utility idea, where deck life leads and the interior supports it.
Triple IPS for ease and pace
The GTX80 is powered by three Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350 pod drives of 1,000 hp each, a package chosen for efficiency and ease as much as for speed. It delivers a top speed of 34 knots and a cruise around 28 knots, brisk for a wide-body yacht of this volume. The IPS pods bring joystick docking and strong fuel efficiency, which matters on a boat meant for relaxed use. The triple installation spreads the power and keeps the running gear compact. It is a more forgiving setup than the surface drives of the X boats.
The engineering priorities differ from the fast X models, with comfort and manageability leading over outright pace. Even so, 34 knots keeps the GTX80 firmly in sports-yacht territory rather than displacement cruising. The pod drives make the boat easy for an owner or a small crew to handle in tight marinas. Weight saved in the carbon sundeck and elsewhere helps both speed and stability. The 80 is quick enough to feel like a Pershing while being calm enough to run every day.
For the host, not the racer
The GTX80 suits an owner whose priority is entertaining and comfort, with speed as a welcome extra rather than the whole point. It works for larger family groups and social gatherings, where deck space and the beach club matter more than a top-speed figure. Ease of handling makes it approachable for owners who prefer light crew or none for day use. The boat fits the marinas and cruising grounds of the Mediterranean and beyond. It broadens the brand toward buyers who want a Pershing to relax on.
As a recent model the GTX80 sits mostly in the new and nearly new market, where early hulls are only now appearing for resale. Its design awards and its role in launching the GTX family support its standing. Pricing reflects specification and remains best confirmed per boat given the model's youth. For buyers weighing an X model against a GTX, the 80 makes the case for space and versatility. It has quickly found an audience among owners who value time aboard over time at speed.
Двигатели и системы
| Engines | Three Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 diesels, 1,000 hp (735 kW) each - confirmed by Pershing's official spec sheet and independently by Southern Boating and Yachting (Sept 2025) and Yachting Magazine's sea-trial report. Not MTU or MAN as is common elsewhere in the segment; Pershing switched the whole GTX range to Volvo Penta IPS. |
|---|---|
| Drive type | Volvo Penta IPS pod drives, electro-hydraulic and joystick-controlled, confirmed by Pershing's official site and by Robb Report and BOOTE Magazin sea-trial coverage - the GTX range's signature departure from Pershing's traditional shaft-drive X-line. |
| Stabilisers | Twin Seakeeper NG9 gyroscopic stabilisers plus a Humphree trim system were fitted and running during sea trials, but Barche Magazine and BOOTE Magazin both independently note the Seakeeper is an optional extra, not standard equipment. Buyers should confirm inclusion before assuming it is fitted. |
| Generators | Two Kohler gensets, reportedly 19kW and 7kW, per BOOTE Magazin - the only source found with generator specifics, not independently corroborated, so treated as provisional. |
| Bow thruster | Sleipner bow thruster, controller integrated into the helm joystick - single-source detail (BOOTE Magazin); no separate stern thruster is documented, likely because the IPS pods handle docking thrust. |
| Fuel tankage | 5,100-5,200 litres (1,347-1,374 US gal) - Pershing's official spec sheet (5,200L) and Barche Magazine (5,100L) essentially agree; Southern Boating's imperial conversion matches the 5,200L figure. |
| Water tankage | 1,300 litres (343 US gal) - confirmed identically by Pershing's official spec sheet and Southern Boating and Yachting. |
| Range | 300 nautical miles at 28-knot cruise with a 10 percent reserve - consistent across Pershing's official spec, Yachting Magazine, Southern Boating and Barche Magazine. |
| Top speed | 34 knots quoted by Pershing; sea trials off Venice recorded 33.6-33.7 knots at half-load with stabilisers engaged, per Yachting Magazine and Barche Magazine independently, both within 0.1 knot of each other. |
| Cruise speed | 28 knots (approximately 2,150 rpm), burning roughly 116 US gal/hr - confirmed by Yachting Magazine and Southern Boating. |
Что сообщают владельцы и экипажи
No independent owner reports available
First GTX80 hulls were only delivered from 2024, and as of this research the model is still too new for a body of genuine owner or long-term operator commentary; only press sea-trial impressions and dealer or broker sales copy were found. Stated on the page rather than substituted with invented quotes.

Сильные стороны и что учесть
Сильные стороны
- Class-leading outdoor and beach-club spaceA hydraulically-opening beach club creates up to 28 square metres (301 sq ft) of usable space, described by Southern Boating (Sept 2025) and Yacht Style as unusually generous for this size class, with a flybridge reported as roughly 60 percent larger than the category average.
- Genuinely easy to dock and driveThe Volvo Penta IPS joystick system makes close-quarters manoeuvring child's play, even for inexperienced owners, per BOOTE Magazin's sea trial, and Yachting Magazine's tester completed tight doughnuts in four to five boat-lengths - a real usability win over Pershing's traditional shaft-drive sport yachts.
- Seamless indoor-outdoor livingRetractable glazing lets the saloon, cockpit and galley flow into one space, a first for Pershing according to BOOTE Magazin, and Southern Boating specifically praised the near-fully-opening door between cockpit and salon for entertaining.
- Comfortable ride and genuine sea-keepingTesters from Southern Boating and BOOTE Magazin both reported soft, controlled landings through wake and impressively safe handling in rougher water, a notable outcome for a boat that also carries real interior volume.
На что обратить внимание
- Real speed trade-off versus Pershing's performance heritageSouthern Boating's tester logged 32.7 knots against the outgoing Pershing 8X's roughly 48-knot capability, and BOOTE Magazin is blunt that 50 knots or more is unattainable without a surface propeller on this hull - buyers wanting classic Pershing thrills should know this is a deliberate, significant compromise, not a marginal one.
- Forward VIP cabin is tightSouthern Boating's review notes the forepeak cabin is slightly cramped as a direct consequence of the GTX80's sportier, truncated bow shape - a real layout compromise, not something Pershing markets.
- Narrow side decksBOOTE Magazin specifically flags narrow running decks around the superstructure as a livability drawback for moving fore-and-aft on deck.
- Visibility blind spots from the helmYachting Magazine's sea trial noted the A-pillars are chunky enough to create genuine blind spots despite the otherwise excellent glazing and light.
- Stabiliser is a paid option, not standardBoth Barche Magazine and BOOTE Magazin independently confirm the twin Seakeeper gyro stabiliser fitted to the demo and test boats is optional equipment, meaning the base-price boat may roll more than sea-trial reports suggest unless a buyer specifically orders and pays for it.
Практическая информация
| New price | EUR 5,220,000 ex-VAT for the European base boat as of October 2024, per Barche Magazine - excludes VAT, commissioning, delivery and options. US market pricing is quoted separately at approximately $4,999,999 by dealer Allied Marine; different markets and currencies, not a data conflict. |
|---|---|
| How to buy | Sold through Pershing's and Ferretti Group's authorised dealer network rather than direct-from-yard retail. In the US, Allied Marine is the exclusive dealer for Pershing (and Itama, Ferretti Yachts); in Europe, regional Ferretti Group-authorised brokers such as JMA Yachting and ABYS Yachting list and sell new-build GTX80 slots. As with most Ferretti Group product, expect a build-slot order process rather than off-the-shelf stock. |
| Comparable models | Within Pershing's own GTX range: the GTX116 (35m flagship, launched Cannes 2023, came first) and the GTX70 (21.76m, smallest, in production from 2025, triple 900hp D13-IPS1200s, 35kn top speed), so the GTX80 sits as the mid-size, second-launched model. Outside Pershing, cross-shop against Riva's larger flybridge and sport models and Azimut's Grande range, both aimed at the same sporty-but-livable 24m bracket. |
| Resale and used market | Genuinely early-stage: first hulls delivered only from 2024, so any used GTX80s on the market as of 2025 are essentially near-new, likely still under original warranty. Checks should focus on confirming warranty transfer, verifying which options - notably the Seakeeper stabiliser, since it is not standard - were actually fitted, engine hours, and any hull or systems claims, rather than on the wear-and-corrosion issues relevant to an older boat. |
