The latest Pershing 115’ superyacht, Spirit du Brazil, will leave Marina dei Cesari in Fano shortly for a long trip to her home port in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It will take the superyacht about a week to sail round Italy, after which she will be loaded onto a large transport ship which will cross the Atlantic Ocean to Brazil where her owner is eagerly waiting for her.
“South America is an extremely important market for us, and one in which we are achieving very good results. This is also due to the support of our dealers like, Spirit Yachts, who have been working with us for over 25 years,” comments Tilli Antonelli, President and Founder of the Pershing S.p.A. shipyard.
The standard version of Pershing 115’ is powered by twin MTU diesel engines totaling 7400hp, combined with the applied thrust of two Kamewa Rolls Royce hydro-jets guaranteeing a top speed of around 40 knots. The recently launched Spirit du Brazil features a significant innovation which makes her stand out from many other superyachts. She has been strengthened by a new generation Vericor TF50 gas turbine, able to create a power of over 5100hp, with a central hydro-jet thrust.
The result is an improvement in both performance, with an equal overall weight, and resistance to significant stress. This technology, typical to aircraft, is rarely used on yachts due to its complexity and the cost of the individual components. Another huge advantage of this structure is that the yacht is quieter with no vibrations, even at a top speed of 52 knots.
A host of different features characterise the new yacht. A very special wood, frise sycamore maple, has been used for all the furniture. The interior of the yacht is illuminated using warm led lighting in order to make the various environments more inviting and reducing the tiresome overheating produced by traditional halogen spotlights.
The exclusive decor, entirely Fendi definitely needs a mention. The prestigious Italian brand gives substance to an ideal way of enjoying the living areas - warm, refined environments and a sought-after evocation of simple, elegant luxury create an ideal setting for an icon of Italian-made style.
