Pershing 8X Motor Yacht
About Pershing 8X
48 knots at full throttle sets the tone for the Pershing 8X: a sports yacht built to close distance quickly rather than to loiter over it. Pershing delivered her in 2021, and she is offered for sale from Dubai to a buyer who plans his days around speed, not around a slow crossing.
Build and provenance
She is an 8X, a fast, lightweight series built around pace rather than volume: a planing monohull under 96 gross tonnes, light enough to get up onto the plane quickly and stay there. No refit is on her record, so what a buyer views is the original 2021 specification, unaltered since.
Layout and accommodation
Eight guests sleep across four cabins, including a full-beam master suite, while a crew of three run the boat from their own quarters. On a sports yacht this size the main deck salon is where the day happens, and the cabins below are kept for the night.
Performance and engineering
A single MTU V16 2000 M96L engine, paired with surface-drive propulsion, carries her to a 41-knot cruise and 48 knots flat out, with stabilisers running underway to keep the ride flat at speed. Uprated generators keep the systems and the air conditioning running whether she is moving or sitting at anchor. At a beam of 5.9 metres and a draft of 1.4 metres, she sits light on the water for a yacht built to plane.
On deck and at anchor
Foredeck seating and sunpads are where the day outside happens on the Pershing 8X, away from the noise of the engines below, and air conditioning keeps the cabins comfortable once she is back at rest.
Where she lies and how to see her
She lies in Dubai. Boatcrowd arranges the viewing and attends it with you, and once your offer is accepted a survey and a sea trial follow before the sale is complete.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
