M/Y CABO - Reimagined & Commanded with Intention

There are yachts built for presence and there are yachts built for movement. 

CABO, the 142-foot Pershing masterpiece, belongs unapologetically to the latter, where speed is not just performance, but personality. 

Sleek, architectural, and unmistakably Italian, she cuts through the water with the kind of precision that feels less like travel and more like choreography.

At 43.3 meters, CABO is part of Pershing’s celebrated 140 series, a model known for marrying aggressive performance with elevated design. Powered by four MTU engines, she cruises comfortably at 30 knots and reaches up to 36 knots, positioning her among the fastest yachts in her class.

But numbers alone don’t tell the story.

Because CABO is not just about how fast she moves.  

It’s about how she makes you feel while doing it.

There’s a distinct moment just after departure when it all clicks. The coastline fades, conversation softens, and CABO settles into her rhythm. This is not a yacht that lingers. She moves with purpose, and in doing so, invites you to do the same.

In a juxtaposition to her speed, her interior invites charter guests to slow down and relax. A recent refit by Kimberly Pucci on CABO introduced a new softness, a layering of textures and tones that makes the yacht feel less like a showpiece and more like a private sanctuary. It’s subtle, but unmistakable. 

And yet, what truly defines CABO isn’t just her design or performance. It’s the way she’s run.

At the helm is Captain Kelly Gordon, whose presence onboard is as defining as the yacht itself. As one of the most respected and active captains on the water today, Captain Kelly is known for her leadership, her precision at the helm, and a balance between discipline and intuition that creates an atmosphere of confidence, ease and trust that guests immediately feel.

For those considering a charter, CABO offers something increasingly rare: versatility without compromise. She’s as suited to high-energy island hopping as she is to slow, indulgent days anchored in secluded waters. She can host, celebrate, escape, or simply exist as your private world for a week or more. However you choose to use her, she meets you there, and elevates your journey.

Because on CABO, the destination is never the only thing worth arriving for.
