Quick Verdict
- Twin MAN V12-2200 engines deliver a legitimate 30-knot cruise speed, making this one of the fastest yachts in the 90-foot class that you can actually run all day
- Four-cabin layout with galley-up configuration prioritizes owner use over charter flexibility, a rare choice in this size range that rewards operators who actually drive their boats
- 22-foot beam and deep-V hull design provide stability at speed without the pounding typical of performance yachts, allowing you to run hard in conditions that force competitors to throttle back
Our Take
The GTX90 represents Pershing's most mature thinking on the performance cruiser segment. The twin MAN V12 setup is conservative in the best sense. You're getting proven reliability and a global service network instead of chasing the last 3 knots with engines that require specialist attention. The Castoldi waterjets are the right call for this hull form and speed range. Build quality reflects Ferretti Group's investment in the brand over the past decade. This is not the hand-built Italian exotic of 15 years ago. It's a production yacht with tight tolerances and systems that work.
This boat is for the experienced owner who runs 80 to 100 hours annually and covers real distance. If you're doing Bahamas trips, Florida Keys runs, or coastal cruising where weather windows matter, the 30-knot cruise capability changes your planning. It's not for the buyer who wants maximum interior volume or the owner who runs 20 hours per year and parks it at the yacht club. The operating costs don't justify occasional use, and you can get more space for the same money in a slower platform.
Resale on Pershing has improved significantly as the GTX series gained traction. The GTX80 is holding value better than the older 80-foot models, which suggests the market is rewarding the galley-up layout and IPS-friendly design philosophy. Expect the GTX90 to follow that pattern. Maintenance costs are predictable with the MAN engines, but you're still running a 92-foot performance yacht. Budget $100,000 to $150,000 annually for upkeep if you're owner-operated, double that with crew. The buyers who understand that math and still want the boat are the ones who keep them long-term..

Frequently Asked Questions
What engines and propulsion does the Pershing GTX90 use?
Twin MAN V12 2200 engines at 2,200 hp each, paired with two Castoldi TurboDrive 600 HCT waterjets — a departure from the surface drives that define Pershing's X Generation.
Worth knowing: Pershing's own model page contradicts itself here. The body copy on the site refers to "dual MAN V12 2000 waterjets" while the technical sheet and both press releases state 2,200 hp. We follow the 2,200 hp figure, which two independent Pershing sources confirm.
How fast is the Pershing GTX90?
Pershing quotes a 35-knot top speed and a 30-knot cruise, from twin MAN V12 2200 engines at 2,200 hp each driving Castoldi TurboDrive 600 HCT waterjets.
One caveat matters: Pershing labels these figures preliminary data. The first GTX90 hull only launched in July 2026, and the yard has not yet replaced the provisional numbers with delivered ones. We would sea-trial the boat rather than buy on the brochure figure.
Is the Pershing GTX90 available yet?
Yes — the first GTX90 launched at Fano, Italy in July 2026, and Pershing unveiled the project at boot Düsseldorf in June 2026. It is the newest model in the GTX range.
Because it is this new, Pershing's own technical sheet is still marked preliminary and publishes only length, engine and cabin count. Draft, displacement, fuel and water capacity have not been released, which is why those rows are absent from our specification table rather than estimated.
How many cabins does the Pershing GTX90 have?
The GTX90 has four guest cabins with four en-suite heads, plus two double crew cabins with their own bathrooms. Pershing says it accommodates up to eight guests.
The layout puts the full-beam master amidships and the VIP in the bow, with the two remaining guest cabins fitted out one with a double bed and one with twin singles. The crew cabins connect directly to the main galley.
