The 2002 Pershing 88 ICE is a high-performance sport yacht that blends Italian flair with serious offshore capability. With a 2020 refit, twin MTU power, and a 39-knot top end, it targets buyers who want speed without giving up four-cabin comfort. This is a brokerage listing in Marmaris, Turkey, ready for a new owner who values presence and pace.
This Pershing 88 suits a buyer who wants a used sport yacht for private family cruising in the Med, with enough guest space for extended weekends. The four-cabin layout and crew quarters also make it a candidate for light charter use. It is less ideal for someone seeking a slow, fuel-sipping displacement yacht. The ideal owner is performance-focused, plans coastal passages, and values Italian design.
Is the 2002 Pershing 88 ICE for Sale?
Yes, this 2002 Pershing 88 ICE is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Marmaris, Turkey, and is ready for a new owner who values presence and pace. Because Pershing 88 models hold attention because of the brand and speed, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, MTU 16V2000 service records, the 2020 refit invoices, hull condition, and interior finishes should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with a documented refit can have a very different ownership profile from another Pershing 88 that has deferred maintenance.
2002 Pershing 88 ICE Price
The asking price for this 2002 Pershing 88 ICE should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for high-performance sport yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. Pershing 88 models hold attention because of the brand and speed, yet condition and engine hours drive resale value, which supports the boat's market position. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
The purchase price is only part of the budget for an 88-foot sport yacht. Fuel burn at 30 knots with twin MTU 16V2000 engines will be the largest running cost, so budget for high consumption on longer trips. Maintenance on a 2002 yacht of this size requires specialist MTU service, and the 2020 refit helps but does not eliminate age-related items. Buyers should also account for a pre-purchase survey, sea trial, haul-out, insurance, dockage, and general upkeep.
Performance and Propulsion
This Pershing 88 is powered by twin MTU 16V2000 diesels delivering a 39-knot top speed and 30-knot cruise. The MTU 16V2000 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the twin installation gives this 88-foot sport yacht the speed and presence that Pershing buyers expect. The 2020 refit refreshed interior and systems, reducing immediate upgrade pressure.
The hull is designed to blend Italian flair with serious offshore capability, and the engines provide the power for performance-focused coastal passages. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a recent sea trial should be requested before making an offer. Fuel burn at 30 knots with twin MTU 16V2000 engines will be the largest running cost.
Exterior Design and Construction
This 2002 Pershing 88 ICE features bow seating for ten plus an aft deck and swimming platform that boost charter appeal, along with an upper saloon with helm station that connects directly to the upper deck. The 2020 refit refreshed the interior and systems, reducing immediate upgrade pressure, while the exterior design reflects Italian flair and serious offshore capability.

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The bow seating, aft deck, swimming platform, upper deck, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested. Ask for refit invoices and review the 2020 refit documentation as part of your due diligence.
Interior and Accommodation
This 2002 Pershing 88 ICE offers four cabins that sleep eight guests, with separate crew quarters for four. A full-beam main saloon includes dining, bar, and entertainment hub, while the upper saloon with helm station connects directly to the upper deck. The four-cabin layout and crew quarters also make it a candidate for light charter use.
Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, entertainment systems, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration, air-conditioning, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The full-beam main saloon and upper saloon give owners and guests generous social space on extended weekends.
What to Check Before Buying a 2002 Pershing 88 ICE
Before making an offer, ask for full engine service records, refit invoices, and a recent sea trial.
