Posted 2015/05/02 at 0:25 in Yacht Reviews
The PERSHING PREDATOR 62, a luxurious Italian rocket ship of a yacht is made for high speed cruising with safety and comfort in mind. Cruising at high speeds in this vessel seems effortless and is relaxing to those on board. You may even forget what an achievement the Predator 62 really is.
Accommodations
The standard layout of this yacht includes a three cabins and a distinguished amidships suite with a lavish shower and head compartment that runs along the entire starboard side. In the bow, the VIP is located- a pleasing mirrored cabin that enhances the small twin bed. In the other available model, this area is a dinette with a double sofa bed available. The galley is across from it, hidden by a sliding door. In the cockpit sofa there is a hatch that leads to a cabin for the crew, which is unusual but a welcome addition.
Most of the vessel has headroom of 6 feet 6 inches with an exception in the master suite which is two inches less. All berths are full size. The windows in both the master and VIP suites allow daylight to seep below. The strongest portion of this boat is the main deck, with a spacious cockpit, along with glass doors and bulkheads that become invisible between the two couches. The sprawling sunroof welcomes the sunshine and large one-piece side windows complete the ambiance. The saloon has a great open feel and excellent views. The sunbathing area on the foredeck can be shaded with a bimini (optional), and below is a substantial garage area.
