Spirit du Brazil: latest Pershing 115 Gas Turbine

“South America is an extremely important market for us, and one in which we are achieving very good results. This is also due to the support of our dealers like, Spirit Yachts, who have been working with us for over 25 years,” comments Tilli Antonelli, President and Founder of the Pershing S.p.A. shipyard.

The standard version of Pershing 115’ is powered by twin MTU diesel engines totaling 7400hp, combined with the applied thrust of two Kamewa Rolls Royce hydro-jets guaranteeing a top speed of around 40 knots. Spirit du Brazil features a significant innovation which makes her stand out from many other superyachts. She has been strengthened by a new generation Vericor TF50 gas turbine, able to create a power of over 5100hp, with a central hydro-jet thrust.

The result is an improvement in both performance, with an equal overall weight, and resistance to significant stress. This technology, typical to aircraft, is rarely used on yachts due to its complexity and the cost of the individual components. Another huge advantage of this structure is that the yacht is quieter with no vibrations, even at a top speed of 52 knots.

A host of different features characterise the new yacht. A very special wood, frise sycamore maple, has been used for all the furniture. The interior of the yacht is illuminated using warm led lighting in order to make the various environments more inviting and reducing the tiresome overheating produced by traditional halogen spotlights.

The exclusive decor, entirely Fendi definitely needs a mention. The prestigious Italian brand gives substance to an ideal way of enjoying the living areas - warm, refined environments and a sought-after evocation of simple, elegant luxury create an ideal setting for an icon of Italian-made style.

SIngle Engine, 10's of Thousands of Miles away from home, Obvious luxuries aboard and the worst state of piracy we've ever encountered since the early 1900's.. Noooooo Thanks!

Hope it doesnt throw a u-joint just outside somalia! lol

(i can laugh at this becuase Im always the guy who nitpicks billion dollar boats, knowing Ill never own one!)

That's an awesome boat, but did you say it only has one engine?????? WTF

I see what they were trying to do here.. And it makes sense on some levels.. But not for me..The advantage of the jet is the ability to shift directions without using a brake on the turbines shaft.. And the longevity of the turbine speaks for itself so its probably built into the boat before the deck goes on..

Glad to hear that you think that These fuckers have been competing with us for yearss...

it certainly does not have one engine waterboy! You should get the facts straight before you post comments. It does in fact have 3 power plants!

It would be impossible to not get laid on a boat like that!!

I cant wait untill there is some youtube videos of billionaire playboys drag racing their super yachts in open water! Jet turbines FTW!

Beautiful boat. It must be like a million dollars!
