Arina

Thirty knots is Arina's cruising speed, and that number alone signals the kind of ownership this is: fast point-to-point runs along the coast rather than slow, settled cruising. Pershing delivered her in 2024 as a deep-vee sports yacht built for speed rather than volume.

Build and provenance

She is the fourth and final hull of a Pershing design, drawn by Fulvio de Simoni working with the yard's own naval architecture team: a deep-vee hull with distinctive side wings, built in aluminium for both hull and superstructure to keep weight down at speed. At 394 gross tons and 43 metres she carries less volume than a full-displacement yacht her length, the trade a hull built to plane at thirty knots makes.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins: the master suite sits on the main deck at a split level of its own, and four more cabins are arranged below, each finished en suite. A crew of seven look after them, a lean but sufficient number for a yacht built around speed and deck time rather than long, formal service.

Performance and engineering

Four engines drive Arina to her 30-knot cruise, the output a deep-vee planing hull needs to hold that pace rather than just touch it briefly. Her 8.55-metre beam and 2.05-metre draft keep her shallow enough for close-in anchorages while still giving the hull the width it needs at speed.

Where she lies and how to see her

Arina lies in Monaco. A viewing runs through Boatcrowd, and we come along for it; after an accepted offer, a surveyor and a sea trial come next, before handover.
