For Sale: 2017 Pershing 70

Argo, a 2017 Pershing 70, offers the performance of an Italian sports car on water. It has a two-stateroom layout plus crew quarters, and is powered by twin 1,623 hp MTU diesel engines (500 hours) that help produce a top speed of 46 knots. Currently listed by Allied Marine for $1.999 million, Argo is designed for those seeking a high-performance yacht with luxe amenities.

According to Yachting, “Pershings are built for drivers. These boats handle like vessels half their size. The 7X’s modified deep-V hull form has 17 degrees of deadrise aft. The Naviop-Simrad integrated bridge is manned by a pair of pilot seats. When the captain is ready for a break, the optional Xenta joystick control system can take over, useful in both close-quarters and cruising modes.”

Argo is powered by twin MTU 10V2000 M94 diesel engines. The acceleration is smooth and immediate, with minimal vibration. At a 42-knot cruising speed, Argo is stable and responsive, providing a confidence-inspiring ride.

“This particular 70 has been highly customized by an experienced yachting couple,” Allied Marine stated. “It is the only two-stateroom model available in North America. The third stateroom has been converted into a lower lounge, offering extra privacy and comfort for dining or relaxing while watching your favorite shows on the large 4K TV.”

The cockpit layout has a sun pad aft that provides an ideal spot for lounging, while an alfresco dining area with a bench-style settee, four chairs and two folding tables is forward, partially shaded. There are plush cushions, carbon fiber accents and stainless steel, all creating an elegant vibe. The cockpit wet bar offers a convenient spot for drinks during social gatherings. For those wanting some quiet time, the foredeck has sun pads with adjustable backrests. 

Argo’s salon is bright with natural light entering via sizable side windows and a sunroof. Guests can relax at the U-shaped dinette or an L-shaped settee near the starboard-side helm station. Opening the salon’s sliding-glass door, rear window and retractable roof creates an open-air environment. The interior décor has light oak cabinetry, leather paneling and brushed-aluminum finishes, creating a modern aesthetic.

The helm setup includes two leather-wrapped seats, offering excellent visibility through large, frameless windows. The console is equipped with dual touchscreen displays, joystick controls and digital engine-monitoring systems. 

Belowdecks, Argo has a galley with a Miele cooktop, microwave/convection oven and a refrigerator, all concealed behind high-gloss cabinetry. A solid-surface countertop provides meal-prep space, and thoughtful stowage solutions make use of every cubic inch. The area’s muted color palette and LED lighting create a contemporary feel. There is a small lounging area forward of the galley, making it a perfect for a morning coffee.

After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of the two staterooms. The full-beam, en suite owner’s stateroom, located amidships, has a king-size berth and abundant stowage. Hullside windows flanking the space provide natural light and offer scenic views. The forepeak VIP stateroom also has a queen-size berth and head access. Crew accommodations are located aft, with access from the cockpit. When not in use, this area can serve as additional stowage or extra guests.

Where is Argo located? The yacht is currently lying in Cleveland, OH.
