Builder Pardo Yachts

History of Pardo Yachts

The brand entered the market in 2016, but the parent company, Cantiere del Pardo, also known as CDP, has been in the industry for over 40 years, so the yachting community never doubted the new brand. CDP launched the brand to expand its range when it decided to enter the motor yacht segment. For this purpose, Zuccheri Yacht Design created the Pardo 43. The firstborn made a lot of noise. Firstly, the company has sold 40 hulls in less than a year, which certainly underlines the demand for the project. Secondly, the boat was the subject of lengthy litigation with German Hanse over a similar design to Fjord 42, which eventually ended in Pardo's victory.

Current status

As a surprising turn of events, in August 2023, fashion house Calzedonia Group obtained 60 per cent ownership of the company and is eager to keep the yacht brand's uniqueness.

Production of Pardo Yachts

The company has a yard in Forli, near Bologna. The covered dock occupies about 40,000 sq.m. Other Cantiere del Pardo brands, including the Grand Soleil sailboats, as well are assembled at the site. The total number of vessels has already passed over 4,000 copies.

Pardo Yachts model range

Under the Pardo Yachts brand, one can find designer motor yachts from 11 to 22 metres in GRP. All models develop over 35 knots. That is to say, they enter into the category of high-speed boats.

Features

Cantiere del Pardo has always attracted customers with the comfort of its boats and attention to detail. The high-quality motor boats of their new brand are no exception. Deep step V hulls give Pardo yachts good controllability at high speeds. The main deck is built on one level, while high bulwarks provide safety.
