Seventh Pershing GTX116 Brings Refreshed Interiors to Genoa 2026

Ferretti Group has brought the seventh Pershing GTX116 to the 2026 Genoa International Boat Show, placing the 35-metre model in the show's over-24-metre Living Made in Italy hub. The latest display combines the GTX flagship's established high-performance platform with refreshed interiors and the large outdoor spaces that define the range.

The seventh GTX116 takes a separate place at Genoa

Ferretti Group says the seventh Pershing GTX116 is being exhibited in the Living Made in Italy hub at Quay H, the Genoa show area dedicated to vessels over 24 metres and focused on yachts in the 35-to-50-metre range. That separates the flagship from the group's main Dock F display, where smaller Riva, Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama and Wally models make up the core eight-yacht fleet.

The positioning is significant because GTX116 sits at the upper end of Pershing's current GTX family and crosses firmly into superyacht territory. Ferretti Group describes this seventh unit as combining the model's sporting character with refreshed interiors and the high level of onboard liveability around which the GTX concept was developed.

A 35.33-metre platform is built around outdoor living

Pershing's current technical data lists the GTX116 at 35.33 metres overall with a 7.72-metre maximum beam. The standard accommodation arrangement provides five guest cabins and three crew cabins, while the model is designed around 165 square metres of connected outdoor areas and the brand's Seascape concept at the stern.

That layout is intended to make the transition between yacht and water more direct rather than treating the aft deck as a conventional enclosed boundary. The result is a sport yacht whose dimensions are used as much for open-air living and guest circulation as for enclosed volume.

Triple MAN V12 engines feed Kamewa waterjets

The current GTX116 specification pairs three MAN V12 2000 engines with Kamewa waterjets. Pershing publishes a maximum speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots, with approximately 400 nautical miles of range at cruising speed and up to 800 nautical miles at a 10-knot economic speed.

Those figures place the model firmly on the performance side of the 35-metre market while retaining a five-cabin cruising layout. Waterjet propulsion also supports the shallow 1.47-metre published draft, a useful characteristic for owners who combine Mediterranean cruising with destinations where access depth matters.

Genoa follows a busy September for Ferretti Group

The Genoa International Boat Show runs from 1 to 6 October 2026 and follows Ferretti Group appearances at Cannes and Monaco. The group is using Genoa to present two premieres in its smaller-yacht fleet while the GTX116 gives visitors a view of how the same portfolio extends into the larger performance-superyacht segment.

For Pershing, the seventh hull also shows that GTX116 has moved beyond its launch phase into a repeat-build programme. The Genoa appearance therefore works less as a model introduction and more as evidence of continuing production, specification development and owner customisation within the 35-metre platform.
