2008 Pershing 50

This 2008 Pershing 50 is a used yacht for sale in Venezuela, and it sits in a sweet spot for buyers who want Italian style with real offshore pace. The twin MAN R6 diesels and surface drives give it a sharp, agile feel that most flybridge cruisers at this price cannot match. When shopping a Pershing 50 for sale, focus on condition, engine hours, and how the cockpit works for your typical day on the water.
 

This boat fits a buyer who wants a luxury yacht for fast coastal runs, island hops, and weekend entertaining rather than a slow long-range trawler. Families with older children will appreciate the three cabins, while couples can use the extra berths for guests. It also suits an owner moving up from a smaller express cruiser who wants more presence and performance without jumping into a much larger crew-dependent yacht.
 

Is the 2008 Pershing 50 for Sale?

Yes, this 2008 Pershing 50 is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Venezuela and is being actively marketed to buyers who want Italian style with real offshore pace. Because buyers in this niche pay for mechanical confidence, not just shine, availability of a comparable example with documented service history may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, MAN R6 service records, surface drive condition, hull condition, and interior finishes should all be reviewed. A well-documented example with mechanical confidence can have a very different ownership profile from another Pershing 50 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2008 Pershing 50 Price

The asking price for this 2008 Pershing 50 is $499,000, priced like a used yacht that still delivers serious performance. A well-documented service history protects resale, and buyers in this niche pay for mechanical confidence, not just shine, which supports the asking price. 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 a 50-foot sport yacht. MAN service and surface-drive maintenance should be part of your budget from day one. Fuel burn at 33-knot cruise is not economy-car territory; plan range and refueling around your actual use. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, sea trial, haul-out, insurance, dockage, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Pershing 50 is powered by twin MAN R6 800 HP inboard diesels with surface drives for a 42-knot top end and 33-knot cruise. The MAN R6 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output, and the surface drives give this sport yacht the sharp, agile feel that most flybridge cruisers at this price cannot match. The sleek Pershing profile and deep-V hull suit owners who value presence and rough-water confidence.
 

The low profile for its length means easier docking than many 52-foot sport yachts, and the hull is designed for fast coastal runs and island hops. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, surface drive condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should confirm WOT rpm, drive condition, and that the hull and systems match the asking price. Fuel burn at 33-knot cruise is not economy-car territory.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2008 Pershing 50 features a retractable sunroof and large cockpit sunpad that make the main deck usable in sun or shade, along with a sleek Pershing profile and deep-V hull for presence and rough-water confidence. The low profile for its length means easier docking than many 52-foot sport yachts, and the cockpit layout supports day trips and entertaining. The exterior design reflects Pershing's Italian sport-yacht character.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, surface drives, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The retractable sunroof, cockpit sunpad, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested. Ask for engine hours, service records, and a recent survey before you commit.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2008 Pershing 50 offers a three-cabin, two-head layout that gives weekend guests privacy without turning the boat into a slow floating apartment. Families with older children will appreciate the three cabins, while couples can use the extra berths for guests. A modern galley and salon support day trips, overnighters, and simple entertaining, making the boat practical for a range of uses.
 

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 three-cabin, two-head arrangement provides privacy and comfort for owners and guests on weekend trips.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2008 Pershing 50

Before you commit, ask for engine hours, service records, and a recent survey. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, surface drives, propellers, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, plumbing, and bilge systems. The retractable sunroof, cockpit sunpad, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested.
 

The twin MAN R6 800 HP diesels and surface drives should be inspected individually, including engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, turbochargers, exhaust components, transmissions, and surface drives. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, autopilot, VHF radios, refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, and other onboard systems. A sea trial should confirm WOT rpm, drive condition, and that the hull and systems match the asking price. Once the boat checks out, this Pershing 50 for sale can be a sharp buy for someone who wants Italian sport-yacht character without new-boat depreciation.
