Aldebaran III

One of her four staterooms does double duty as a gym, fitted with exercise equipment on the port side in place of a cabin, and it converts back to sleeping space whenever a buyer wants the berth instead. Pershing built Aldebaran III, a Pershing 108, in 2016, and she has had a single owner since new.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull sports motor yacht from Pershing, thirty-three metres long with a 7.2-metre beam, a 2.1-metre draft and 178 gross tonnes: proportions built for speed rather than for volume. A single owner has kept her since she was new, with an annual overhaul in a dedicated facility, and she is described as being in condition comparable to new, following extensive winter servicing.

Layout and accommodation

Aldebaran III accommodates eight guests in four staterooms, arranged as a master suite, a VIP suite, a double and a twin, each with its own bathroom and entertainment fittings. The port-side stateroom currently serves as a gym, fitted with exercise equipment, and can be converted back into a cabin for a buyer who wants the berth instead of the equipment.

Performance and engineering

Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines produce 2,638 horsepower between them, driving surface drives that give her a 37-knot cruise and 42 knots flat out. Zero-speed stabilisers hold her steady once she stops, so the pace that gets her to an anchorage quickly does not cost comfort once she is there.

On deck and at anchor

A jet ski rides aboard, ready for the water once she is anchored.

Where she lies and how to see her

Aldebaran III lies in Spain. Boatcrowd arranges viewings and stands with you at them, and once an offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and set up the sea trial that follows.
