The marque
Pershing was launched in 1985 with the Pershing 45 — 'a never-before-seen yacht' — and still builds its self-described 'seaborne missiles' at its shipyard in Mondolfo, Italy.
01 — Fitment notes
At 28.1 metres the Pershing 9X will typically garage a tender in the four-to-five-metre class, with seating for the full guest list and the range for a proper run ashore. Weight still matters if you davit rather than garage — your crew's stowage plan decides.
The picks below lean toward the mid-range fitment bands.
02 — The Surmarine Selection
Hand-built in Turin.
The full Surmarine line — Super Tenders, the Easy open tenders and the featherweight Light Tenders — from the atelier that has built them by hand since 1999.
