Pershing 52

The Pershing 52 embodies the perfect balance of exhilarating speed and luxurious comfort. Reaching up to 42 knots thanks to her Arneson surface drives, she offers ample exterior spaces for sunbathing and a spacious saloon below deck. With 3 elegant cabins (a master double and two twin) and premium amenities like air conditioning, she ensures an unforgettable day charter experience in Puglia.

The Charter Experience

Your Pershing 52 charter in Puglia begins at Cala Ponte Marina, the picturesque harbour nestled beneath the old town of Polignano a Mare. As you step aboard and the captain guides the yacht out of the marina, the twin 800-horsepower MAN engines come alive beneath you. Within moments the Arneson surface drives push the Pershing 52 to a breathtaking 42 knots, pinning you gently into the sun-pad cushions as the Adriatic stretches out ahead in every shade of blue and turquoise.

The route north reveals the dramatic karst cliffs that have made this coastline legendary. Sheer limestone walls plunge into crystalline water, riddled with sea caves and natural arches carved over millennia. Your captain slows the yacht to navigate close to the famous Grotta Palazzese, the sea cave that houses one of the world's most celebrated cliffside restaurants, a view best appreciated from the water. Further along, the narrow inlet of Lama Monachile appears between two towering rock faces, its pebble beach glowing white against the deep blue sea. As the coastline unfolds toward Monopoli, hidden coves emerge one after another, each more inviting than the last.

The captain drops anchor in a sheltered cove with visibility reaching the sandy bottom several metres below. Snorkeling gear is provided on board, and guests can explore underwater rock formations teeming with Mediterranean marine life. Back on deck, the hostess prepares a fresh seafood aperitivo featuring local Puglia specialities paired with chilled wines from the region's finest vineyards. The open-plan cockpit of the Pershing 52 becomes the perfect social space as conversation flows easily between the generous stern sun-pad, the shaded dining area, and the forward sunbathing platform. Whether you choose a leisurely half-day cruise or a full-day luxury boat cruise along the Adriatic, every moment aboard is crafted to feel both effortless and extraordinary.

Why Choose the Pershing 52

Speed sets this yacht apart. At 42 knots the Pershing 52 is one of the fastest vessels in our fleet, which means you cover more of the stunning Puglia coastline in a single charter day than slower boats could ever manage. Distant sea caves, secluded beaches, and the harbour towns of Monopoli or Torre Canne all fall within comfortable reach for a day trip.

The Pershing brand, part of the prestigious Ferretti Group, carries decades of Italian maritime heritage. Every line of the hull was designed specifically for the Mediterranean, balancing aggressive performance with refined elegance. With a maximum of eight guests, the experience remains intimate and exclusive. Below deck, three air-conditioned cabins, including a master double and two twins, offer a welcome retreat from the midday sun. Two full bathrooms with fresh-water showers ensure every guest stays comfortable throughout the day. Your experienced captain knows every hidden cove and sea cave along the coast, tailoring the itinerary to wind conditions, your interests, and the best swimming spots of the day. For a yacht rental in Polignano a Mare that combines Italian pedigree with genuine thrill, the Pershing 52 is the definitive choice.

Discover the Polignano a Mare Coastline

Polignano a Mare is one of southern Italy's most celebrated cliff towns, a place where whitewashed houses perch on the edge of dramatic limestone bluffs high above the Adriatic. The coastline here is often described as UNESCO-worthy, and from the deck of the Pershing 52 you understand why: towering sea stacks, azure grottos, and crystal-clear waters that shift from emerald to sapphire with every passing cloud. The best season for a Pershing 52 charter in Puglia runs from May through October, when sea conditions are calm and water temperatures are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Getting here is easy too. Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport is just 35 minutes away by car, with direct flights from most major European cities, making Polignano a Mare one of the most accessible luxury yacht destinations in the Mediterranean.
