One of our favourite Pershing yachts is the 90ft TIGER LILY OF LONDON, available for charter in Spain and the Balearic Islands. She is the ‘ultimate stylish charter yacht’, accommodating up to 6 guests in 3 cabins. She is perfect for charters around Ibiza and Formentera, providing guests with unadulterated luxury and some of the best lounging decks, which are perfect for sunbathing. She combines great looks and luxury with performance, traveling at speeds of up to 44 knots! She will catch the eye of everyone, no matter whether you are passing a cruise ship or a 90m super yacht.

This Pershing has 4 well appointed cabins that will cater for even the most discerning guests and is available for events such as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. She is available for day charters, accommodating up to 12 guests and would make the ideal luxury birthday present. We look forward to your enquiries!
Our top Pershing luxury yacht has to be the stunning 115ft MISTRAL 55, available for charters on the French Riviera. This is one of the most luxurious and visually impressive yachts available for charter and is arguably better looking than a Palmer Johnson!
