Triple IPS power supports a 36-knot maximum

Pershing lists three Volvo Penta D13 IPS1200 engines rated at 900 horsepower each. The current specification gives a maximum speed of 36 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots under the builder's stated conditions.

The pod installation also supports precise low-speed manoeuvring and keeps the machinery concept aligned with the GTX family's emphasis on usable deck space. Owners gain performance without relying on the surface-drive configuration found on some more extreme Pershing models.

Opening wings enlarge the beach area

A defining feature of the GTX70 is the pair of opening side wings around the aft area, which expand the usable width when the yacht is stopped. This creates a larger waterside platform for swimming, lounging and access to tenders or toys.

The idea reflects the wider market shift toward beach-club living even on yachts below 24 metres. Owners increasingly expect the stern to function as a destination in its own right rather than simply a place for mooring equipment and boarding.

Three cabins plus crew support longer stays

The standard layout includes three guest cabins and a separate crew cabin, giving the yacht enough privacy for extended weekends or longer coastal trips. The configuration also allows owners to bring professional assistance without sacrificing guest accommodation.

A 5.42-metre beam creates useful volume across the interior while keeping the yacht within a relatively compact overall length. The result is aimed at buyers who want a sporty profile without accepting a stripped-back accommodation plan.

The GTX70 remains the compact entry to a broader family

Pershing positions the GTX70 as the most compact expression of a range built around performance, liveability and large exterior spaces. It therefore gives buyers access to the GTX concept without moving immediately into larger yachts with significantly higher operating demands.

For Luxury Yacht Guide, the model is particularly relevant because it falls comfortably inside the site's 12-to-23.99-metre scope. It combines superyacht-style exterior ideas with dimensions that remain realistic for a broader group of owners.
