You want the Pershing top end without stepping up to a 70-footer. The 6X runs 62 feet on twin MAN V12-1550s to a published 48 knots, with three cabins and a crew cabin below.

Quick Verdict
- A published 48-knot maximum and a 40-knot cruise from twin MAN V12 1550s, with 280 nautical miles of range quoted at that cruise
- Three cabins plus a crew cabin at 62 feet - the smallest Pershing that sleeps a full party and carries a berth for someone to run it
- Pershing publishes no drive type for the 6X; the surface drives belong to the 7X's specification, and we do not carry them across
Our Take
The 6X is the smallest Pershing that will sleep a full party and still show forty-eight knots, and that combination is the whole reason to look at it. Twin MAN V12 1550s, 1,550 horsepower a side, for a published 48-knot maximum and a 40-knot cruise, with 280 nautical miles quoted at that cruise from 845 gallons. Read the range against the speed it is stated at - 280 miles at forty knots is a different promise from 280 miles at ten, and the yard is quoting the fast one.
Below decks Pershing's standard arrangement is three cabins plus a crew cabin: a full-beam midships master, a forward VIP and a starboard guest twin, each with its own head. A two-cabin version is built as well, with a living area in place of the guest cabin. The crew berth matters more than its square footage suggests. It is the difference between a boat you always run yourself and one you can hand over for the long leg with guests still aboard.
Here is the gap I want you to know about. Pershing publishes no transmission or drive type for the 6X. The specification names the engine and stops there. It would be easy to carry the surface drives across from elsewhere in the range and I am not going to do that on your behalf, so put it on your list: confirm the installation on the hull you are actually being offered, and take observed burn at your intended cruise off the sea trial rather than off any range figure, the yard's included.

Pershing Yachts 6X Overview
The 6X is the 62-foot X Generation coupe: 62'2" overall on a 15'9" beam, 74,957 lbs unladen and 88,185 lbs laden, carrying 845 gallons of fuel.
Its side wings are integrated into the superstructure rather than standing proud of it, and large hull windows light the deck below. The main lounge has front-opening windows and a dark glass sliding roof.
Performance & Handling
Twin MAN V12-1550s, 1,550 hp each, take the 6X to a published 48-knot maximum and a 40-knot cruise, with 280 nautical miles of range at that cruise from 845 gallons.
Pershing publishes no drive type for the 6X - the spec table lists the engine and says nothing about the transmission - so we do not name one. Read the range figure in context: 280 nautical miles is quoted at the 40-knot cruise, not at a slower one.
Interior & Accommodations
Pershing lists three cabins plus one crew cabin as standard: a full-beam midships master, a forward VIP, and a starboard guest twin, each with its own head. A two-cabin arrangement is also built, with a living area in place of the guest cabin.
Above deck the cockpit carries a carbon and teak dining table and a forward chaise longue with a reclining backrest, under a reshaped aft sundeck. Larger rectangular portholes light the cabins below.
Market Position
The 6X sits between the 54-foot 5X and the 69-foot 7X in the X Generation.
Against the 7X it gives up length, the carbon hull and two knots of published top speed. Against the 5X it adds a third cabin, a crew cabin and twelve knots.
Who the 6X Is For
Buy the 6X if the top end is the point and you still want three cabins and a berth for someone to run the boat - 48 knots on a 62-foot hull, with 280 nautical miles at a 40-knot cruise.
Choose the 5X if you would rather dock on a joystick and keep the fuel bill down. Step up to the 7X for the carbon hull, the extra seven feet and 50 knots.
