Pershing 108

Onboard the Pershing 108

The Pershing 108 carries the builder's sport-yacht bloodline into superyacht territory: a 33-metre hull with a low, purposeful sheer line and the kind of speed pedigree Pershing is known for, built out here with four cabins arranged to sleep up to 12 guests. On deck, the layout favours open sightlines and easy movement between the cockpit, aft deck and flybridge rather than closed-off saloons, which suits groups who want to move freely between conversation, sun and shade over the course of a day or an overnight.

From Saint-Tropez, a yacht of this size and speed opens up more of the Gulf in a single afternoon than most charters attempt: an anchor off the town itself with a tender run in to the quay, a swing south toward the Pampelonne shoreline for a beach club lunch, or a longer push west if the itinerary calls for it. The same layout works for a corporate afternoon on the water — a client lunch held at anchor in the Gulf with the village in view, cabins kept for changing rather than overnighting, and the boat back at berth by early evening.

Four cabins and a 12-guest capacity make the Pershing 108 a fit for a single travelling party or a corporate group that wants one vessel rather than several tenders' worth of guests split across smaller boats. Before booking, it is worth checking whether the trip is a day charter or includes a night aboard — the cabin count comfortably covers an overnight for a smaller group, and a broker can confirm how guest numbers, sleeping capacity and the planned route line up before confirming the date.
