Description

Nothing commands attention on the water quite like freshly rebuilt twin MAN V-12 turbocharged engines delivering 1,300 horsepower each, and that's exactly what sets this exceptional vessel apart. With just 80 hours since their complete August 2022 overhaul, these powerplants transform this 2003 Pershing Pershing 54 for sale into a meticulously maintained performance machine ready for years of exhilarating cruising.

Berthed in Aventura, Florida, this 54-footer represents Italian engineering at its finest, combining aggressive styling with the legendary reliability that comes from comprehensive mechanical attention. The Arneson surface drives work in perfect harmony with those rebuilt engines to deliver impressive speeds approaching 50 knots, while the hull's sophisticated design ensures comfortable cruising in the 40-45 knot range. The distinctive rooster tail she throws at full throttle serves as both performance indicator and head-turning spectacle.

Beyond the impressive propulsion package, this Pershing showcases thoughtful accommodations across three distinct staterooms and two full heads. The forward primary suite features a queen berth with private en-suite, while the guest quarters offer flexible twin bed arrangements. A third stateroom with cockpit access provides additional versatility for crew or guests. The main salon balances entertainment and functionality with a large television installation and well-appointed galley, all benefiting from generous 6'4" headroom throughout the interior spaces.

Practical luxury touches enhance the onboard experience, from the retractable soft top that provides weather flexibility to the bow and stern thrusters that make close-quarters maneuvering effortless. The full-beam foredeck sun pad maximizes relaxation space, while the surface drive configuration eliminates underwater appendages that could complicate shallow water exploration. Current ownership has maintained comprehensive service records and recent survey documentation, reflecting the kind of systematic care that serious buyers recognize and value. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a properly maintained Italian sport yacht with fresh mechanicals and proven performance credentials.
