The Palma International Boat Show will be a key event for Cantiere del Pardo, which has chosen the Catalan show as the venue for two major international debuts. The renowned Italian group will be ready to meet every need, with new launches covering both the sailing and motorboat sectors. Specifically, the models making their debut are the Pardo Endurance 72, which will be presented to the European market for the first time, and the Grand Soleil Plus 65 Performance, making its world premiere. Alongside these two new models, Cantiere del Pardo will showcase several other yachts at what is considered one of the most important nautical events in the Mediterranean, scheduled to take place from April 30 to May 3, 2025.
Pardo Endurance 72: quiet, efficient, sustainable
In the prestigious setting of the Palma International Boat Show, the spotlight will be on the European debut of the new Pardo Endurance 72. The new model from Pardo Yachts, flagship of the Endurance line, is designed around a new long-range cruising concept: quiet, efficient, and sustainable.
Conceived to offer maximum comfort during extended stays on board, this motorboat reveals its unique character when the side terraces and expansive windows are opened, creating an exceptional open-air space, the largest in its category, which seamlessly connects interior and exterior, delivering an immersive and panoramic onboard experience. The extraordinary elegance and contemporary design, resulting from the collaboration with BurdissoCapponi Yachts&Design, complete a project that redefines the concept of Mediterranean cruising.
The Endurance 72 enhances the family feeling of Pardo Yachts, with a distinctive design that blends luxury and functionality, all in the spirit of the refined aesthetics typical of Italian craftsmanship. Its design highlights the seamless connection between exterior and interior spaces, offering an immersive experience with the surrounding environment. Carefully crafted by Cantiere del Pardo for the most demanding owners, it’s the ideal yacht for those who refuse to compromise on style, onboard comfort, efficiency, and seaworthiness.
In addition to the Pardo Endurance 72, visitors to the Palma International Boat Show will also be able to admire other flagship models from Cantiere del Pardo’s Pardo Yachts brand: the GT52, the P50, and the P38.
Grand Soleil Plus 65 Performance: a sporty soul
On the sailing side, Cantiere del Pardo will be present at the Palma International Boat Show with the world premiere of the Grand Soleil Plus 65 Performance. With its Grand Soleil Yachts brand, a true icon of Italian sailing, Cantiere del Pardo has already established itself as an international leader in the boating world, and the new Grand Soleil 65 Performance Plus further reinforces this position. This new version, which joins the Grand Soleil 65 Long Cruise Plus presented at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival, embodies the sportier spirit of the range. It’s designed for owners who demand top performance without giving up elegance and cruising comfort. The Grand Soleil 65 Performance Plus combines sharp lines, lightweight construction, and high-level technical solutions, delivering the perfect balance between sportiness and liveability.
The new Grand Soleil 65 Performance Plus perfectly embodies the spirit of the shipyard’s Plus line—a name that refers not only to size but also to a new concept of excellence and customer care. This line stands out for its exclusive approach, involving owners in the project from the earliest stages with a dedicated team, giving them the opportunity to tailor each yacht to their specific needs.
The development of the Grand Soleil 65 Performance Plus concept was specifically overseen and refined by Franco Corazza—an entrepreneur, longtime racer, and acclaimed champion with 12 Italian titles, two European titles, and one world title to his name. The hull, built using vacuum infusion of vinylester resin with biaxial fiberglass and unidirectional carbon fabrics, ensures a lightweight, stiff, and robust structure. The longitudinal and transverse structures, as well as the load-bearing areas of the hull, are laminated in fiberglass and reinforced with unidirectional carbon. The naval architecture of the Grand Soleil 65 Performance Plus, designed by Matteo Polli, shares the same goals as the Grand Soleil 72 Plus but adapted to a slightly smaller size.
In addition to this exciting new launch, visitors will also be able to tour the Grand Soleil 72 Plus Long Cruise—currently the flagship of the Plus line—outside the main exhibition area.
Cantiere del Pardo confirms its leadership
With the new models set to debut at the Palma International Boat Show, Cantiere del Pardo further strengthens its position as an international benchmark in the yachting world, thanks to a comprehensive and versatile offering that meets the lifestyle needs of every owner, whether under sail or power. A true Italian pride that we can’t wait to tell you more about—as soon as we’ve had the chance to experience these two new yachts firsthand.
