Pardo Yachts recently presented its Pardo GT75 flagship at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
The 75-foot yacht is stylized with a reverse bow and sporty forward-leaning windshield. An emailed news release from the yacht builder states that the GT75’s side terraces, beach area and its multifunctional transformer allow for an “unmatched connection to the sea.”
“It’s a luxurious villa on the sea, designed to offer a unique and sophisticated experience,” said Gigi Servidati, president of Cantiere del Pardo, in the release. “The Pardo GT75 embodies the vision we aimed to achieve, thanks to our boatbuilding heritage, combined with outstanding design and cutting-edge technology. You can only fully understand the immense potential of the Pardo GT75 by living it firsthand!”
Layout and Features
A brainchild of Cantiere del Pardo, the GT75’s naval architecture was conceived by Zuccheri Yacht Design. Nauta Design also contributed to the ship’s interiors and exteriors.
The GT75’s enclosed superstructure provides complete protection, while a semi-open roof offers an airy lounge space to beat the heat. Her spacious cockpit is surrounded by large wraparound windows–most of which can be opened.
The sundeck lifts up electrically to reveal a dedicated space for a 12-foot storage area. High bulwarks and the walkaround deck provide safe livability of the exterior spaces.
The GT75’s layout offers a choice between galley-up or galley-down versions with a large variety of appliances. The galley-up version includes a well-equipped kitchen and an L-shaped sofa with a dining table seating up to eight guests. The galley-down version transforms the main deck into a large living area with comfortable sofas, a semi-open roof, side windows and a sliding aft door for viewing the sea.
Multiple sleeping area configurations are available for the lower deck’s layout. Options include two, three or four cabins, accommodating up to 10 berths including a full-beam owner’s stateroom, plus a crew double cabin. The standard layout features three cabins and three bathrooms.
“Onboard the Pardo GT75 we have translated the experience of seaside living into a luxurious yacht,” said Nauta Design co-founder Massimo Gino in the release.” This vision has been integrated by creating multiple outdoor spaces, including a beach area, sunbeds, and dining areas, allowing guests to enjoy each area at different times of the day. In addition the flexible layout offers up to four cabins, ensuring comfort and privacy. The exterior and interior styling of the Pardo GT75 showcases Nauta’s signature approach to modern, clean lines and a balanced, harmonious design, which perfectly match the Pardo Yachts aesthetic DNA.”
Specs and Performance
The GT75 measures 75 feet in length overall with a maximum beam of 19 feet and a draft of 5 feet.
With a standard engine package including triple 800 horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1050 diesels, the vessel combines performance and stability–even in challenging conditions, according to the builder. Those looking for more power can swap out the 1050s for triple Volvo Penta IPS 1350’s adding 200 horsepower each.
The release states the Pardo GT75’s ride is both quiet and comfortable thanks to the hull being specifically optimized to work with the Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system.
Additionally, the engine room is already set up to accommodate the hybrid engine to lessen environmental impact. The GT75 has a 290-gallon freshwater tank and a 1,135-gallon fuel capacity, creating long-range-cruising capability.
The yacht is extremely tuned and drivable with a raised central dashboard for visibility, a bow thruster, a gyrostabilizer and a second joystick in the cockpit for precision docking.
