Principessa Capricciosa

Four cabins for eight guests is the layout Principessa Capricciosa is built around, anchored by a full-beam owner's stateroom that runs the width of the hull. Pershing delivered her in 2019, and she has had one owner since.

Build and provenance

She is a Pershing 82, a planing sports yacht on a fibreglass hull with a carbon fibre superstructure that keeps weight down where it matters most for speed. Fulvio De Simoni is behind both her exterior and interior design. At 24 metres, or 79 feet, and 74 gross tons, with a 5.5-metre beam and a 1.4-metre draft, she sits low and wide for stability at pace.

Layout and accommodation

The full-beam owner's stateroom sits amidships, with a forward VIP cabin and two twin cabins completing the four-cabin layout, each with its own en suite. Retractable glass doors open the main salon to the outside, and a crew of three keep the yacht running without taking up guest space.

Performance and engineering

Twin 2,640 hp MTU engines give Principessa Capricciosa a 42-knot cruise and a 49-knot top speed, figures that put her firmly in sports-yacht territory, built for a fast run rather than a leisurely one. A 320-nautical-mile range keeps her within reach of the next coastline rather than a long crossing.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, sunpads and a lounge cover the foredeck, the aft deck is set up for dining, and the flybridge carries more sunbeds for high-speed cruising or lying still. A swimming platform, bow and stern thrusters and underwater lights round out the practical side, with wifi and air conditioning throughout.

Where she lies and how to see her

Principessa Capricciosa lies in Naples, Italy. We show her in person on every viewing, and once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before she changes hands.
