Pershing celebrates 40 years of innovation and design with an owner’s gathering in Capri

As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, Ferretti Group's Pershing Yachts brand hosted an unforgettable three-day event on the island of Capri this month.

Owners from around the world gathered to honour the legacy of this iconic brand, joined by new enthusiasts such as Formula 1 driver George Russell, who recently acquired a Pershing 6X motor yacht.

The festivities began with the highly anticipated unveiling of the new Pershing GTX70, followed by a colourful drone light show featuring 300 drones. Guests enjoyed the spectacle from the renowned Capri hotspot “La Canzone del Mare,” and enjoyed a lively performance from Gianluigi Lembo of “Anema e Core”.

The following day, guests lunched in Nerano at Antonio Mellino’s celebrated “Quattro Passi”. In the evening, two exclusive dinner experiences awaited them in Capri: the legendary “Il Riccio” and chef Franco Pepe’s waterfront pizzeria and restaurant, “a-MaRe Capri,” both reserved entirely for the event.

One of the most breathtaking highlights came as the celebration reached its peak - Pershing owners took to the crystalline waters surrounding Capri in a stunning display of performance and style. The scene was dominated by the sleek Pershing 6X, 7X, and 8X models, alongside the latest additions to the Sport Utility Yacht lineup: the Pershing GTX116 and the brand-new GTX70.

Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi reflected on the occasion: “Celebrating Pershing’s 40th anniversary in Capri – a unique island in the very heart of the Mediterranean – had a special meaning. Capri is pure beauty, like our boats, and the ideal setting for an extraordinary event that brought together entertainment, innovation and passion. Against a breathtaking natural backdrop, we told the story of an adventure lived in the fast lane: 40 years of incomparable style, comfort and thrilling performance. Emotions that only owners at the helm of a Pershing can truly understand. This event will live forever in the eyes and memories of everyone who was there, and above all in the glorious history of our brand,”
