The premiere models are expected to demonstrate the shipyard’s ability to keep up with the times and to implement most innovative solutions and technologies 

The yard’s new flagship, the Pardo GT75, has a length of 22.85 m, a beam of 5.99 m and is positioned as a “villa on the sea” thanks to her ample exterior and interior spaces.

Both the exterior and interior design were developed by Nauta Design studio, offering efficient and flexible layouts. For instance, the galley can be located both on the main deck and below, and the number of cabins capable of accommodating up to 10 guests may vary from two to four.

The Pardo GT75 can be powered by three Volvo IPS 1050, as well as more powerful optional Volvo IPS 1350.

The 17.05-metre Grand Soleil 52 Performance yacht was inspired by the iconic Grand Soleil 52, designed by German Frers back in 1987, so it is a kind of “comeback” for the Italian shipbuilders.

The new Grand Soleil 52 Performance was designed by a talented tandem of Matteo Polli Yacht Design (naval architecture) and Nauta Design (exteriors, interiors and layouts). According to the yard, she “takes up the elegance of her progenitor, as well as the same harmony of shapes which , then as now, translates into stability and performance”. The yacht has three cabins that can accommodate 6-8 guests.

The 21.60-metre Grand Soleil 65 Performance is a synthesis of “performance, style and innovation”. In the course of this model’s development special attention was given to sustainability and energy efficiency.

Solar panels help to accumulate energy, while recyclable and renewable materials were used for the construction. There are three cabins and a saloon with a galley.
