NAAV

Ferretti Engineering Department's collaboration with Fulvio De Simoni aboard this 2018 Pershing represents four decades of Italian performance yacht evolution distilled into 33 meters of pure intention. NAAV emerges from a lineage that transformed Mediterranean boatbuilding from traditional displacement hulls into aggressive planning forms that slice through water rather than push through it. The Pershing DNA runs deep here, carrying forward engineering principles that prioritize speed-capable hull geometry and weight distribution refined across hundreds of launches. De Simoni's dual role as both exterior and interior architect creates an unusual coherence between NAAV's outer profile and inner volumes, eliminating the typical design compromises that occur when multiple studios collaborate. Three crew members maintain the vessel's systems while eight guests occupy spaces designed around the builder's signature low-profile aesthetic. At 178 gross tons with a 6.7-meter beam, NAAV demonstrates how Pershing's engineering heritage translates abstract performance concepts into tangible luxury experiences that honor both Italian craftsmanship traditions and contemporary expectations for refined comfort at sea.
