VELES | 2015

Best for: couples or close friends after serious speed and style, with a duo or small group of design-conscious travellers a close second.

VELES is a Pershing 70, built in 2015 and based in Portofino, and her headline fact is the one that sets her apart: she reaches 46 knots. Twin MTU engines and a surface-drive system deliver that performance with genuine stability, so the speed feels controlled rather than chaotic. Her exterior is exactly what you would expect of a Pershing, with sharp, sculpted lines and the signature raised wings that make her recognisable the moment she clears the harbour wall.

She sleeps six across three cabins, with a crew of two, meaning the experience stays personal and attentive throughout. On the water the Seabob F5S, paddle boards, towable donut and snorkelling kit give guests plenty to do once the anchor is down. Interiors are bright and contemporary, built for socialising as much as for settling in, and the cockpit works equally well as a social hub at speed or a quiet perch at anchor. For guests who want Italian waters fast, with style to match, VELES delivers both without compromise.
