Pershing GTX90: New 28m sport utility yacht sets new standard for deck space

Written by

Italian performance yacht builder Pershing has unveiled the GTX90, the fourth model in its Sport Utility Yacht range, continuing the GTX series focus on pairing high-speed performance with oversized deck space.

Measuring 27.97 metres and carrying CE Class A certification, the GTX90 was developed by Vallicelli Design in partnership with Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department and is built at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mould facility. The project made its public debut at BOOT Düsseldorf, with a first launch anticipated for July 2026 and a confirmed global premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

Pershing GTX90 performance

Power comes from twin MAN V12 2200 engines producing 2,200hp each, driving the yacht through a pair of Castoldi TurboDrive 600 HCT waterjets. Preliminary figures put top speed at 35 knots and cruising speed at 30 knots. Optional twin Seakeeper NG18 gyroscopic stabilisers are available for improved comfort at anchor.

Pershing GTX90 deck layout

The GTX90’s upper deck sportsbridge spans 33 square metres, a figure Pershing says is 43% larger than the class average for yachts of this length. It is divided into three zones: a sunbathing area at the stern, an amidships dining area covered by a hardtop, and a helm station forward.
On the aft main deck, two fold-out side terraces flank a large sunpad. Unlike the GTX70 and GTX80, where the terraces open beside the swim platform, the GTX90’s terraces deploy at cockpit level, shifting the widest point of the beam aft and bringing the combined outdoor surface area to 37 square metres. A garage sized for a tender and jet ski sits below.

Pershing GTX90 accommodation

The lower deck runs four cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom: a full-beam master suite amidships, a VIP bow cabin, one double guest cabin, and one twin. Crew quarters with a full galley sit between the master suite and the engine room.

Pershing GTX90 design

The exterior is finished in Pershing Anniversary Silver, with the near-vertical bow and slightly convex sheerline shared across the GTX range. Interior detailing follows the series’ sport-luxury brief: hexagonal patterning, alternating deck slats, integrated lighting, and premium material finishes throughout.
