Owner Experience Review
Owners and captains choose the 72fromPERSHINGas an owner‑operator sport yacht for fast weekend cruising, family trips, and VIP day‑boating, with many examples also working well in Mediterranean day or weekly charter. The three‑cabin layout is flexible, and test boats have highlighted a notably roomy third cabin; finishes and styling are consistently praised, while service/crew spaces are relatively compact for a performance‑focused yacht.
Underway, the 72delivers exceptionally willing helm response, eager acceleration, and taut handling. A brisk cruise in the low‑30‑knot range is commonly reported, with some builds quoted near 40–45 knots at the top end; the sporty, firm ride stays precise at speed but can be demanding in bigger seas, favoring an experienced hand on the throttles.
Owners emphasize the realities of running a high‑performance, 10+‑year‑old Italian boat: fuel burn climbs quickly at speed (one owner cited around 120 gallons per hour), older installations can struggle to keep interiors cool in peak summer, and maintenance is significant. Routine major engine service and attention to surface/Arneson‑type drives and props are typical, and many brokerage notes highlight winter indoor storage, recent refits, and service history; expect specialist labor and parts for PERSHINGsystems.
Pros and Cons
- Exceptionally responsive handling and eager acceleration inspire confidence at the helm.
- Versatile for owner‑operator sport cruising, family trips, and Mediterranean day/weekly charter use.
- Flexible three‑cabin arrangements with a roomy third cabin and premium finishes.
- High fuel consumption at speed, with an owner citing around 120 gph.
- Sporty, firm ride can be demanding in bigger seas and benefits from an experienced helm.
- Upkeep can be intensive on older Italian builds, with specialized service for engines and surface drives required.
