Grand Soleil 48 premiered in Cannes in 2018. Typically an Italian boat, a «cruiser with a soul of a racer» should interest speed lovers. It's already clear from the name of the versions. Buyer is offered Performance and Race - no «cruise», although the first is positioned as a cruiser.
Interior and exterior
Grand Soleil 48 was born in collaboration with Cantiere del Pardo and Nauta Yacht Design (interior and deck) and Marco Lostuzzi (hull design).
Modern in every respect, Grand Soleil 48 is fully in keeping with the concept of a custom yacht. The customer has a wide range of options, right down to the hull material. In the Performance version it is polyester resin and GRP. The Race version can be vacuum-formed with polyester resin or with carbon fiber. Other differences of the Race version are the reduced weight by 1 ton, longer pylon and bowsprit, location of winches in the cockpit, dirty interior and special sailing wardrobe.
Amenities on board

The size of the boat allows a comfortable organization of space. Nothing «squeezes»: shower cabins, galley, dining area, full navigating table - everything has sufficient dimensions. The same goes for the cabins.
