Pardo E60 Review (2023 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Pardo E60 boasts a sleek design with a smooth stem achieved through a concealed anchor system, which, when activated, reveals the anchor that extends through the hull. The yacht's exterior lacks traditional rails, opting instead for deep bulwarks that contribute to the vessel's streamlined appearance and provide safety without compromising style.

The hydraulic swim platform is suitable for carrying a tender, enhancing the yacht's capability for sea-bound adventures. Dual cockpits feature innovative drop-down balconies that significantly increase the beam, creating an expansive leisure area complemented by adjustable sunbeds and an electrically adjustable table for outdoor relaxation and entertainment.

The flybridge is a highlight with a secondary helm station, multifunction displays, engine controls, joystick control, and a seating arrangement that can be adjusted for comfort while navigating. The area is surrounded by upholstered lounging spaces, a fridge for refreshments, and a demountable table. A Bimini top is provided for shade, though it was not deployed during the video due to strong winds. The flybridge serves as a vantage point with panoramic views, making it an ideal spot for socializing and enjoying the scenery.

Inside the yacht, the galley-aft features modern appliances such as a dishwasher, sinks, cooking facilities, and dual fridges. The interior design is marked by a sideboard with an ice maker, wine cooler, and storage for glasses and bottles. The saloon comprises a comfortable seating area with a power-adjustable table and large windows with powered blinds that can be lowered to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly. The airy saloon is enhanced by drop windows and a side access door that contributes to the open atmosphere.

The helm station is thoughtfully designed with a backrest that folds forward, improving both the helm experience and access through the nearby side door. The floating display houses multifunction screens and the yacht's control system. The IPS joystick, bow thruster control, engine controls, and push-button switchgear are all within easy reach. The forward sloping windscreen provides excellent visibility and reduces heat buildup.

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin is exceptionally spacious, featuring a washer dryer, large wardrobes, and a generously sized bed. Ambient lighting and natural light with muted colors create a relaxing environment. Amenities include a dressing table, settee, and ample storage space. The en-suite bathroom boasts a separate rainfall shower, adding to the luxurious feel of the owner's private quarters.

Guest Accommodation

The yacht houses two further en-suite guest cabins, including the forward cabin with an innovative skylight that doubles as an emergency exit and a twin cabin. Each cabin offers comfortable accommodations with hanging lockers, drawers, and opening windows. The guest cabins are well-appointed, ensuring privacy and comfort for all onboard.

Crew Acommodation 

The crew cabin, accessible from the exterior, includes two single beds, storage, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. This space is versatile, serving as occasional staff quarters or additional guest accommodations.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D8 IPS-800 engines, each producing 600 horsepower, the Pardo E60 is capable of a top speed just over 20 knots. With a cruising speed of 12 to 14 knots, the yacht exhibits a range exceeding 100 nautical miles, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for extended cruising.

Throughout the video, Nick conveys his enthusiasm for the Pardo E60's elegant Italian design and practical features. He appreciates the yacht's focus on comfortable living, with a spacious owner's cabin and smart use of space throughout. The blend of indoor and outdoor amenities, coupled with the yacht's performance capabilities and safety features, underscores the Pardo E60 as a well-rounded luxury cruiser.
