Pardo GT65 set for grand unveiling at Cannes Yachting Festival

The upcoming Pardo GT65 cleverly slots into the brand's current lineup and is set to be revealed at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2024.

Designed as a new addition to the Pardo family, the first Pardo GT65 is expected to be completed by the summer of 2025.

Positioned between the Pardo GT52 and the forthcoming Pardo GT75 flagship, scheduled for launch at the Cannes boat show in September, the GT65 fills a strategic segment within the range.

Collaboratively crafted by Maurizio Zuccheri’s Bologna studio for naval architecture and Nauta Design for exterior and interior styling, the Pardo GT65 boasts an LOA of 19.75m (64.9ft) and a maximum beam of 5.58m (18.4ft). Characterized by the brand's distinctive reverse-angled stem, forward-raked wheelhouse, and secure walkaround decks leading to a spacious foredeck lounge, the GT65 embodies Pardo's signature design elements.

The generous aft cockpit offers seating on all four sides, complemented by a central island sunpad accessible via tiered steps. Concealed within the sun pad is a garage capable of housing a 3m (10ft) tender, alongside a full-beam bathing platform.

In its standard configuration, the deckhouse features a lounge aft on the starboard side, galley modules along the port side, and a two-seat helm console with a side-deck door to starboard.

Below deck, the GT65 offers a three-cabin, three-ensuite layout. The owner’s cabin occupies the bow area, featuring an irregular shape with a transversely positioned bed and a headboard to port. Additionally, there is a starboard double cabin and a portside twin cabin amidships.

Alternatively, a galley-down version will be available, prioritizing space in the main saloon in exchange for a slightly smaller owner’s cabin forward, featuring an aft-facing island double bed. A small single-crew cabin to port with access via the cockpit is also included in this configuration.

Top-specification models will feature a pair of 1,000hp Volvo Penta IPS1350s, offering an estimated maximum speed in the mid-30 knots range and a cruising range of approximately 300nm from the 3,200-liter fuel tanks.
