When you see a rooster tail blasting behind a silver streak of a yacht hitting 45 knots, there’s a good chance you’ve just witnessed a Pershing 90 doing what it was created to do: go hard, go fast. This vessel will cruise all day at 38 knots. Twin 2,435 hp MTU diesels were standard-issue.

The salon stretches roughly a third of the 90’s length overall, and sliding glass doors connect the salon with the cockpit. Belowdecks, the American version has three staterooms.  At press time, 9 ­Pershing 90s were on the market, from $2.2 million to $2.8 million.

“Aggressive, sleek and fast, the Pershing 90, like the missile it’s named after, is certainly striking. With its lean, aerodynamic profile, dramatic metallic-silver looks and thoroughbred performance, this 90-footer is not one to miss its target. Besides its stunning profile and sleek looks, it’s a great running yacht. Power on this 90-footer is provided by twin MTU 16V 2000 diesels, which give it an eye-watering 45-knot top hop.”
