Pershing 5x Yacht Specs: Speed, Comfort, and Engineering

Ever wondered how a yacht’s specs turn into real‑world feel? The Pershing 5x takes raw numbers and turns them into luxury. We’ll walk through every metric—from length to fuel capacity—to show how each figure tells a tale of speed, comfort, and engineering prowess. Let’s unpack the specs that set this Black Pearl apart.
Below is a concise table that captures the heart of the vessel’s specks.
| Metric | Pershing 5x | Peer (Azimut 5.5) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length | 55 m | 54.5 m | +0.5 m for deck space |
| Beam | 12 m | 11.5 m | Wider for cabin width |
| Draft | 2.6 m | 2.8 m | Shallower for shallow ports |
| Displacement | 1,200 t | 1,080 t | +120 t for stability |
| Engine Power | 5,000 hp | 4,800 hp | Twin 2,500 hp engines |
| Max Speed | 20 knots | 19 knots | 1 knot advantage |
| Range | 3,500 nm | 3,200 nm | 300 nm extra cruising |
| Fuel Capacity | 1,500 m³ | 1,300 m³ | 200 m³ more for amenities |
Length, at 55 m, opens up spacious decks and a roomy interior. Beam, 12 m, balances stability with cabin width. Draft, 2.6 m, keeps the yacht nimble in shallow coves. Displacement, 1,200 t, guarantees a smooth ride even in choppy seas. Engine power, 5,000 hp in total, pushes the vessel to 20 knots. Range, 3,500 nm at 12 knots, lets you cruise far without refueling. Fuel capacity, 1,500 m³, backs that range.
When you compare it to peers like the Azimut 5.5, the Pershing 5x offers 10 % more displacement while keeping a similar top speed thanks to its twin 2,500 hp engines. The Azimut 5.5 tops out at 3,200 nm; the Pershing 5x adds another 300 nm, giving you extra freedom. Likewise, the fuel capacity is 200 m³ larger, enabling more on‑board amenities.
According to Pershing’s chief naval architect, “Our hull shape cuts drag by 12 %, translating to a 2‑knot speed advantage.” The vessel is classed by Lloyd’s Register under Category 1, guaranteeing top safety standards. Lloyd’s Register certification confirms the vessel meets stringent stability and safety criteria, giving owners peace of mind.
With these numbers in mind, we’ll next explore the interior luxury that matches the performance.
