Thanks to a combination of in-house expertise, an ongoing commitment to innovation, the support of top designers and valuable customer feedback, the shipyard has further expanded its fleet with the new Pardo GT65, the Grand Soleil 60 Long Cruise and the revolutionary Grand Soleil Blue. Let us now take a brief look at the three new CDP yachts, which will be make their on-the-water debuts at upcoming editions of the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Pardo Yachts GT65: speed, style and fun

The first protagonist of this premiere is the Pardo GT65, a bold and versatile addition to the Pardo Yachts family. Strategically positioned between the GT52 and the upcoming flagship GT75, the new Pardo GT65 is a concentrate of speed, flexibility and fun, designed to offer an unprecedented on-board experience.

The design of the GT65 focuses on harmony between interior and exterior spaces with flexible performance and layout thanks to large windows and retractable doors. The aim is to offer exciting and comfortable cruising while maintaining an essential connection with the sea.

A major innovation on the GT65 is the retractable garage that can accommodate a 3-metre tender, a sundeck and a lounge area aft. Nauta Design‘s design is reflected in the low volumes aft, preserving the spacious cockpit environment. The foredeck offers an open-air lounge, while the interior offers several layout options, including a galley on the main or lower deck, making this model unique in its category.

The innovations extend to the interior, with several layout options offering custom-made solutions for owners. The spacious owner’s cabin, located forward, places the emphasis on comfort, while the foredeck offers another open-air lounge, complemented by a large sundeck and convertible sofa.

The GT65 retains Zuccheri Yacht Design’s distinctive reverse bow and naval architecture, and will be equipped with Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines for performance and safety; the debut is eagerly anticipated at Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.
