HAWK - PERSHING FOR SALE

“HAWK” is an 80 ft Pershing express performance motor yacht that fuses the marque’s signature, assertive Italian lines with thrilling speed, poise, and refinement. Widely regarded as one of the shipyard’s most sought-after models, this Pershing 80 balances generous volume with effortless boarding and a calm, confidence‑inspiring ride, making her equally compelling as a private sport cruiser or as a high‑end charter yacht. A devoted Pershing enthusiast oversaw a comprehensive mechanical overhaul and an elegant reimagining of the yacht’s look and feel, pairing a chic white/black ultra‑leather interior with a brilliant bright‑white pearlescent Dupont Imron Axalta finish and new teak decking to deliver a truly unique, fully turn‑key yacht. Renewed from bow to stern and presenting better than many newer builds, she features a spacious four‑stateroom layout with three heads plus separate crew accommodations with a full head. Built specifically for the USA market, she benefits from 50/60‑cycle electrical compatibility and a robust tropical air‑conditioning package, while a modern yacht controller with intuitive joystick simplifies docking and low‑speed maneuvering to the point that a single competent operator can handle her with ease.

Propelled by upgraded MTU 16V2000 M92 engines rated at 2,400 hp each and ADS #15 surface drives, this Pershing open yacht delivers the performance enthusiasts expect, reaching approximately 44 knots at wide‑open throttle, cruising comfortably around 37 knots, and offering an impressive range near 420 nautical miles for extended passages. Her shallow draft enhances access to thin‑water playgrounds such as the Bahamas and lends versatility for distinctive and unforgettable charter itineraries. Key highlights include the twin 16V2000 MTUs, a four‑stateroom plus two‑crew arrangement, and well over a million dollars in recent enhancements, as well as the one‑person docking capability courtesy of the 2022 yacht controller.

Among the many upgrades are the custom metallic‑pearl white Axalta Imron exterior paint and new teak decks that elevate her presence at the dock and at speed. Fresh exterior soft goods in Silvertex silver marine vinyl complement X‑PEL super‑tint on all salon windows, including the forward windscreen, and fully automated blinds with blackout shades were fitted in every stateroom. New see‑through black exterior window covers and black Stamoid seat covers sharpen the profile, while the interior was completely refinished in pure white ultra‑leather with a custom Stanton black/white Fairwater Onyx carpet underfoot. Mechanically, MTU technicians completed major engine services and added reflective engine‑room sound insulation to keep operations whisper‑quiet, with upgraded 24‑volt LED engine‑room lighting improving visibility. A full Besenzoni hydraulic passerelle integrates retractable swim stairs, the forward electric helm sunroof received a new motor and belt, and the aft sun/shade e‑roof was refreshed with the same. Bow and stern thrusters by Twin Disc enhance control at close quarters. Martin Marine carried out servicing and repairs on the #15 Arneson drives, and a polished stainless‑steel anchor, a 2022 Lofrans windlass, and a new EPIRB boost cruising confidence. Triple Kahlenberg air horns announce arrivals with authority, while double‑coated Trinidad bottom paint and fresh zincs were applied in 2023. Power management is bolstered by a Hubble 25 kW Iso‑Boost auto‑start transformer from Wards Marine Electric, and new white underwater lights (2022) enrich evenings at anchor. Comprehensive service records, manuals, and files are available on request.

The main salon is accessed via electric/hydraulic sliding glass doors to port and starboard, each dressed with electric blinds; all glazing is transparent, layered, tinted, tempered glass protected by X‑PEL. Inside, the expansive lounge was redesigned with crisp white ultra‑leather elements punctuated by striking black accents for a dramatic yet timeless contrast. Opposite-facing lounge seating encourages conversation, while three movable ultra‑white leather ottomans provide flexible seating and hidden storage. A downlit quartz bar with a polished stainless façade, fixed custom stainless bar stools, a new ice maker, a separate refrigerator, and a polished stainless sink and faucet make entertaining effortless. Flooded with natural light through large side windows, the salon flows seamlessly to the aft deck, and the Stanton black-and-white designer carpet runs throughout the space. Entertainment is anchored by an HDTV on an electric high/low lift with a KVH M7 satellite antenna (2023), and the upgraded multi‑zone Fusion audio system features all‑new JL speakers and subwoofers with XM radio (2023). Lighting inside and out has been converted to contemporary 4,000K dimmable LEDs set in polished stainless bezels. The air‑conditioning serves salon, staterooms, and ensuites, recently serviced (2023), and is powered by five compressors (two‑bank and three‑bank) delivering a USA‑spec tropical system rated at approximately 120,000 BTU across twelve air handlers.

Forward of the bar, the helm reflects a state‑of‑the‑art command center beneath a sliding hideaway hardtop/sunroof above three matching white ultra‑leather helm seats. The console and chart box are upholstered in pure white ultra‑leather with a black ultra‑leather‑wrapped wheel, LED toe‑kick lighting, and dedicated A/C controls. As a USA‑configured Pershing 80, HAWK carries 60 Hz electricals and generators, and her upgraded MTU package paired with Arneson surface drives underscores the yacht’s high‑performance express cruiser credentials. The navigation and control suite includes the 2022 yacht controller for one‑person docking, fully automated flaps joystick steering, an Arneson trim joystick, an MTU electronic LCD engine panel, and conveniently positioned electronic engine levers between the seats. Engine‑room and stern camera feeds display at the helm, Twin Disc bow and stern thrusters are joystick‑controlled, and a magnetic compass stands ready as a reliable reference. A Navi‑OP LCD monitors rudder angle, flaps H2.0, and fuel levels, while a Furuno autopilot and VHF integrate with a 2023 Garmin open‑array radar, twin Garmin chartplotters (2018), a Garmin depth sounder with nav charts, and a multifunction Furuno instrument for depth, speed, heading, and temperature. Night operations are enhanced by a 2023 FLIR M322 thermal camera.

The engine room is a study in meticulous engineering and serviceability. The MTU 2,400 hp upgrade is complemented by silencers, a generator exhaust fume separator, and stainless reinforcements around the engines, with thermal acoustic insulation further lowering noise and vibration. Recent service items include four new starting batteries, a new generator battery charger, and appliance battery cut‑offs, while a 110V/60Hz air compressor and a 2022 A/C raw‑water pump support ship’s systems. Dynamic air intakes and new electric extractor fans optimize airflow, and an additional engine‑exhaust silencer refines the acoustic profile. Hydraulic systems include the steering oil tank and Twin Disc/Arneson interface, plus a dedicated hydraulic unit feeding the Twin Disc bow and stern thrusters. Practical touches range from light switches and 110V outlets to waterproof cameras interfaced with the helm. Shore‑side connectivity is streamlined by a Glendinning 100A four‑pole cable retractor, a 230/115/24V breaker panel, and measuring instrumentation with 240V volt/amp meters, while a 100A Carling switch handles 24V DC shore input, paired with a 100A/30m GFI. Freshwater intake with a pressure regulator, a structural GRP tank with pump and autoclave, a 60Hz water heater, and a watermaker support autonomy. The seawater system includes basket strainers for engines and generators, seawater intakes with a chain wash pump, and dedicated feeds for the grey‑water system with a large polyethylene tank. Additional systems include an auxiliary E‑pump tank, discharge pump with a galley‑controlled three‑way valve for grey water, GRP tank level sensors, and a manifold with bypass for emergency discharge of grey and black tanks, plus a GRP auxiliary‑tank sensor. Safety is comprehensive, with an emergency bilge‑discharge bypass via the engines, an E‑pump fire extinguisher, AJC service and fire‑hydrant pumps, a fixed fire‑suppression system, remote emergency engine shutdown with both manual and automatic extinguishers in the machinery space, and smoke detection throughout.

Descending via a stairway trimmed with polished stainless bullnose details brings you to the accommodations, where a full‑beam owner’s suite showcases a king‑size walk‑around berth dressed in crisp black‑and‑white linens, surrounded by white ultra‑leather and painted oak joinery. The suite integrates a dressing table, a dedicated writing desk, and a walk‑in wardrobe with a discreet owner’s safe. A frosted‑glass door separates the bedroom from a refined ensuite, where an oversized all‑new glass shower with a built‑in bench takes center stage. Large, dark‑tinted hull windows flood the cabin with natural light and frame cinematic water‑level views whether you are at anchor or underway. The forward VIP offers a Euro queen walk‑around berth, nightstands with reading lights, a generous closet, two hull windows, and a hinged circular stainless crystal‑glass deck hatch; accent lighting glows beneath the bed, and the private ensuite features a bright glass shower with a picture window. The port guest cabin presents side‑by‑side single berths, excellent locker storage, and a large hull window, with direct entry to the guest head and its expansive glass shower. To starboard, a versatile twin guest stateroom provides abundant storage, a broad hull window, one fixed single and a convenient Pullman berth for added flexibility. Fresh contemporary bedding has been installed throughout, all hull windows were upgraded in 2022 to black‑tinted tempered glass, each stateroom has its own digitally controlled A/C, and every cabin now features an upgraded TV.

The aft deck is purpose‑designed for open‑air living, with a broad upholstered sun pad and an alfresco dining area whose bench seating flows naturally from the salon through the sliding glass doors. A retractable, extendable hardtop offers shade on demand, while an outdoor cooking area, a wet bar, zoneable audio, and subtle accent lighting with dimmable overhead downlights set the mood from brunch to midnight. Practical detailing includes port and starboard lockers with double hatches, an aft tender garage with a hydraulic hatch and launching rail plus a dedicated winch, and a hot/cold shower at the swim platform. The black‑painted aluminum aft doors and window slide electrically to open the cockpit fully, stainless gates carry the Pershing 80 insignia, and a side boarding gate and ladder stow neatly on the garage ceiling. Access to the crew quarters and engine room is via a deck hatch and ladder, and a starboard freshwater sink, a new 230V stainless BBQ, and a 120V/60Hz Raritan icemaker plumbed to the main tank keep refreshments coming. Two Wi‑Fi cameras tie into the helm display for added situational awareness. Forward, the bow lounge is a private retreat with a generous U‑shaped settee beneath a manual canopy and a large sun pad for soaking in the views. LED deck lights trace the walkways, a metallic‑white Imron cockpit table anchors the forward social area, and ergonomic backrests complement the lounge seats. A white Bimini can be deployed as needed, while waterproof JL speakers with independent volume (Bluetooth or manual) pair easily with the yacht’s sound system. There is fresh water plumbed into the anchor locker, a stainless handrail along the superstructure, fore/center/aft stainless mooring cleats, and a robust stainless rail with stanchions. Ground tackle is handled by a 2,500‑watt Lofrans windlass with galvanized chain and foot controls, and storage lockers port and starboard forward of the lounge keep gear tidy. Twin windscreen wipers with washers clear the transparent, layered, tinted, tempered glass windscreen, also protected with X‑PEL.

The galley, reachable from the salon via the port staircase or directly from the cockpit ladder for emergency access, is appointed with generous white‑quartz countertops, a sleek striated metallic backsplash, custom cabinetry with abundant storage, and a large polished stainless sink. Adjacent crew quarters offer two bunks with under‑berth storage, a hanging locker, a private crew safe, independent A/C controls, and a separate head with an enclosed glass shower. A dedicated utility space houses a washer and dryer (both Miele, 2022) with room to convert to a third crew bunk if required. Premium appliances include a Miele stovetop/oven combo (120V/60Hz), a Miele ceramic cooking top (220–240V/60Hz), a Miele dishwasher (120V/60Hz), and oversized Sub‑Zero refrigerator and freezer units (120V/60Hz) supported by a 24V inverter. There is also direct engine‑room access from the galley for convenient servicing.

Aft, the garage hangar opens at the touch of an electric door to reveal an exceptionally large space capable of housing a new‑model Williams 345 Jet Tender alongside a full‑size wave runner. The hydraulic swim platform lowers into the water to make launch and recovery simple via two electric winches with remote operation, and electric/hydraulic swim stairs on the port side extend into the sea to provide effortless reboarding. Note that the tender and wave runner are not included in the sale. For protection, a complete suite of covers is provided for all seating and tables as well as the side windows and the windscreen. In every respect, HAWK stands as a striking, luxury express cruiser and performance sport yacht—a rare USA‑spec Pershing 80 delivered in shimmering pearl white, freshly refit, deeply serviced, and exquisitely prepared for her next owner to enjoy immediately.
