Mavis

Since Pershing delivered her in 2019, Mavis has been used only privately, the kind of history a survey reads quickly. At 92 feet and 115 gross tons, she is a sports yacht built for speed rather than volume, and she now lies in Split, Croatia, offered through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

She is a Pershing 9X, built in 2019 from composite construction that includes carbon fibre, which keeps her light for her length. The result is the sculpted, side-winged profile that is the yard's signature.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, a full-beam master suite and a VIP among them, with two further guest cabins each carrying its own en suite. Three crew, in two cabins of their own, keep the boat running without asking a guest to lift a finger.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,638 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines carry her to a 36-knot cruise and 41 knots flat out, true sports-yacht numbers that put Split's islands within a lunchtime run. Stabilisation and integrated navigation keep that speed usable underway, not just a figure on a spec sheet.

On deck and at anchor

A swimming platform opens her stern to the water, and sunpads give guests somewhere to lie between swims. A tender garage keeps the toys out of sight until they're wanted, and air conditioning throughout means the Adriatic heat stays outside.

Where she lies and how to see her

Mavis lies in Split, on Croatia's Dalmatian coast. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is there for each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, we bring in the surveyor and schedule the sea trial before anything is signed.
