The unmistakable silver grey profile of Soraya announces her distinguished Italian heritage with commanding presence. Fulvio De Simoni’s masterful aerodynamic design language flows across her hull with the purposeful grace of a vessel engineered not merely to traverse the world’s waters, but to do so with extraordinary velocity and sophistication. As the original flagship of the Pershing 115 series since her delivery in 2007, Soraya has long epitomised the marriage of Italian design sensibility with cutting edge maritime engineering.
Beneath her sleek and streamlined exterior resides the technological prowess that defines performance yachting. Twin MTU engines coupled with KaMeWa waterjets propel this exceptional vessel to speeds reaching 34 knots, delivering the thrilling acceleration and responsive handling that characterises truly purposeful superyacht design. Her shallow 1.44 metre draft represents a liberating engineering solution, granting access to idyllic cruising grounds and secluded anchorages where deeper hulled vessels cannot venture, thereby expanding the palette of extraordinary destinations available to her fortunate owner.
Refined Living Spaces
The interior architecture embraces the full beam of the hull to create a master suite of rare amplitude and tranquillity. A dedicated owner’s office provides a sophisticated sanctuary for those who choose to remain connected to their affairs, whilst the remainder of the interior spaces reflect the meticulous attention to comfort and aesthetic refinement that distinguishes superyacht living at this elevated echelon.
Renewal and Renaissance
A comprehensive refit completed in 2026 has bestowed upon Soraya a thorough restoration of her distinctive character. A complete repaint in her signature silver grey renews her striking presence whilst preserving the essential elegance that has defined her silhouette since launch. This extensive programme of renewal ensures that every system and surface reflects the exacting standards befitting a vessel of her calibre, readying her for countless further seasons of discerning ownership and adventure.
Soraya represents a rare convergence of proven performance credentials, design distinction and the timeless engineering heritage of Italian superyacht construction. Available now through Burgess.
