The Pardo GT75 has triple IPS propulsion and the interior offers quite a few different layout options including a tender garage or beach club, galley up or down, and two or four cabins.
Prices start at around €3.8 million, but for one fully loaded like the boat we saw at the show, you're eyeing up about €5 million. It's a big number, but for a yacht this ambitious, does the GT75 meet anticipated expectations?

Review Video
The Pardo GT75, designed inside and out by Nauta Design with naval architect Zuccheri Yacht Design, is a yacht that slots in between Pardo's Walkaround and Endurance ranges. It's aimed at owners who want more volume than the two existing ranges without losing too much performance. The Walkaround has ease-of-use and comfort, and the Endurance focuses on long-distance voyages, the GT75 wants to be a blend of both on a grand scale.
When considering options for the GT75, there are a few difficult, major choices. Firstly galley up or down? The galley-down layout is amidships on the lower deck, which is a more private space and can be used as a proper workspace for the crew. It allows the main deck to be a huge living area, letting guests indulge in uninterrupted sea views. And, with the galley nestled away, the lower deck offers a real treat with a spacious and private atmosphere. It's worth having if you're running with crew, as it keeps everything out of sight and mind, so guests can enjoy their time on board without any kitchen commotion.
On the other hand, opting for the galley up might make things a bit cramped and cluttered on the main deck. However, it’s probably better for family-run boats, so everyone can stay together whether at the helm or cooking. Plus, freeing up space below means you can have four cabins instead of just two.
Garage or Beach Club?
The cockpit layout allows for a sprawling tiered aft deck, and on the middle section, a door under a raised sun pad opens electrically to reveal a dedicated space for the tender - which is a superyacht-level sort of feature.
Alternatively, the Beach Club version offers a completely different possibility. There's still a massive aft deck but now it's much more open with the space for the tender garage gone, and this has allowed the owner's cabin on the lower deck to have its own glazed private access. A radical choice to make but both options are very compelling.
The side doors into the saloon play an important role, giving quick and easy access to either side, helping the flow and usability of the area.
While perhaps not enormous for a 75-footer as the GT75 prioritises the outdoor living areas, Pardo has put in a few design elements to really open up the space. The aft opening is enormous and the windows drop down on both sides, allowing natural air to flow through and providing a lovely connection to the surroundings. Also, a tilt sunroof overhead introduces more natural light and ventilation, but maybe something not usually seen on a boat of this style.
There's a seating area with a table that adjusts in height and size for casual dining inside, although you'll most likely dine in the cockpit. With the galley downstairs, the bar area becomes essential, featuring a sink, cooling space, and a wine cooler by the port side door. This setup ensures guests can be served without trekking down to the galley and keeps the focus on entertaining.
Downstairs, there's a very homely, apartment vibe, well-lit with a galley/saloon set up and a fixed TV set down on the island.
The galley is spacious and practical; a genuinely well-designed space and it's not just for show. The American-style fridge and freezer give plenty of storage, and there's even more storage underneath the counters. There's also a microwave, a twin sink, a hob with integrated vents, and swathes of countertop space including a kitchen island.
The boat toured has the galley-down, two-cabin layout but if you want to buy for chartering, going for four cabins will maximise sleeping arrangements. There's also a three-cabin version with a seating area and a galley up on deck.
Owner's Cabin
The beam explodes again into the amidship owner's cabin. The floor space here is vast, with a huge bed offset in the centre, so you can walk on either side easily. The floor is flat, and the headroom is impressive.
Storage is a strong point, with hanging storage that's massive. You’ll find drawer storage dotted around, and opposite the bed sits a bureau, with a TV mounted on the wall above and a sofa. It’s a space that feels truly expansive.
Moving forward, the bathroom continues the theme. The shower cubicle has saloon-style doors that swing open to reveal a rain shower head, a shower wand, and a little teak seat. There's room for a toilet and bidet, alongside a big sink with storage beneath. It's all beautifully finished.
VIP
The VIP cabin is a lovely space. The designers have pushed the interior right to the beam, and the headroom is more than adequate, with a step up on either side of the bed. There's plenty of storage, with hanging lockers and drawers thoughtfully placed, and there's a TV on the bulkhead.
Beside the hanging storage, the private ensuite is a well-sized space, with a separate shower cubicle, toilet, sink, and yet more storage.
Crew Accommodation
The crew space is where we hit our first notable compromise on the Pardo 75. Positioned right up at the bow, it’s at the opposite end of the boat from the engine room, which isn’t ideal for a crew space. The cabin is accessed through a hatch and down a ladder, leading to a compact setup with two bunks. They’re functional but very tightly packed.
The bathroom, though cramped, is not a wet room - it actually has a separate shower cubicle, which is a nice touch. The shower space itself isn’t too bad, but overall, the layout makes it clear that two crew members living and working here for any extended period would find it pretty cramped.
The helm station is positioned well forward, placed on the centre line with a fabulous all-around view. Despite being quite so forward, it's still manageable, making you feel like you’re not driving an enormous boat. Bear in mind, this isn't a flybridge yacht, so it’s the sole driving spot, and it's brilliantly arranged. Three huge Garmin MFDs give a wealth of information, including navigation and a suite of cameras for keeping an eye on all corners.
The GT75 has triple Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines providing 3,000hp, getting it to a top speed of 38.5 knots during trials. You can comfortably cruise between 22 and 30 knots, and at speeds under 25 knots, expect a range of 400nm. It's designed for fast cruising, making 30-knot journeys entirely possible. No wonder they've already sold a couple to Miami - it’s a genuinely capable GT cruiser.
Notably, the hull design on the GT75 extends fully beneath the bathing platform. This extension allows for a more spacious engine room and also extends the lower deck's interior room.
Down by the water’s edge, there's the platform, then the dining area, and above it all, a massive sun pad. This sun pad is so wide it comfortably accommodates six people. Optional extending platforms, though not standard, are a great addition, offering extra space for lounging or a spot for the kids to leap into the water. With all these elements combined, the aft deck is an incredible living area.
The transformer platform can descend into the water to give easy water access or rise to help you up onto the quayside. It's a really cool piece of kit, and it also comes with an overhead shower made from carbon fibre for a convenient rinse after a dip. As there's a tender garage here, the aft deck in this version is arranged in tiered layers.
Our tour boat has the tender garage option on the aft deck and it gives truly substantial storage areas. You can easily fit a Seabob at an angle in each compartment, and there's additional room in the tender garage for more water toys. Harken winches rotate out of the deck when needed to tighten lines, then retreat flush to keep your toes safe. The pop-up cleats follow suit, vanishing into the deck when not in use, resulting in a sleek, snag-free surface.
The cockpit itself is the primary dining space, featuring a nice big table that opens out to accommodate more guests if needed and lovely for leisurely meals on the water. You have the option to install a docking station for the IPS joystick in this area, allowing you to manoeuvre stern-to – a real plus when the helm is positioned right forward.
Shade is provided by the built-in overhang and also by an extendable bimini. This feature stretches out over the huge sunpad behind, which will definitely catch a fair bit of sun.
Side Decks & Foredeck
The design of the side decks and foredeck feels very similar to the smaller GT52, but the height of everything is slightly increased. Like the GT52, instead of traditional guard rails, cords are paired with carbon fibre poles to provide security, a bit unusual but it's to keep the boat looking uncluttered. Sockets for the fenders replace the need to tie them over the railing and the mooring gear is also well-integrated, with pop-up features that clamp down when not in use.
As you step forward past the side door, the foredeck is a sun-drenched living space. The canopy may be a bit low, but it gives much-needed shade and you won't be doing much standing here anyway; it's all about relaxing on the sunpads and sit-down dining. Fridges are conveniently placed here, providing easy access to refreshments without a long walk to the galley.
The furnishings aren't bolted down, so you can rearrange or stow them as needed. Right up front, the anchor and locker are found, and the crew space access is here as well.
Access is straightforward - underneath an aft deck sun pad cushion, there’s a hatch leading down a ladder into the engine space. With three engines, things were always going to be tight down here, especially with the added bulk of the central engine. That said, you can navigate the space reasonably well. There’s room to get between the engines, access the pods, and inspect the key components without too much trouble.
Given that the GT75 also accommodates a tender garage, some compromises overhead were inevitable. It’s a busy space, packed with gear like the gyro stabilizer and twin generators. While headroom is limited, it’s still manageable. The molded lining means there isn't any hard metal flooring and that will make it easier on the knees. Despite the tight quarters, the layout allows for decent visibility & accessibility where it matters.
Our Verdict
There you have it - the largest Pardo yet. While I was all ready to recommend the galley-up arrangement on a boat like this, I had to completely take it back after seeing the lower galley. It’s just huge and it looks amazing.
The GT75 is an impressive boat, designed to whaft you effortlessly and comfortably from one destination to the next, all while looking fantastic. Once you’ve arrived, it promises to deliver plenty of fun at anchor, too. The final verdict will have to wait until we’ve had the chance to take it for a test drive and get to see that beach club version.

Rivals to Consider
Our first rival is the Arcadia Sherpa 80 and it’s fascinating how it combines a spacious layout with its impressive 1,550 nautical mile range. This makes it a prime contender for long voyages, perfect for the adventurous spirit. The Pardo GT75, on the other hand, has a full-beam master cabin that's absolutely lovely, with hull side windows that provide fabulous views. The Arcadia's shallow draft also allows it to explore waters that the Pardo might find a bit of a challenge, proving its versatility in more secluded spots.
Moving on to the Bluegame BGX73 and the Bluegame BG74, these yachts cater to slightly smaller groups, with accommodations for six guests across three cabins. They focus on providing a comfortable and intimate setting for family getaways. The Pardo GT75, however, has the option for a four cabin layout, delivering great spaces for up to 4 guests and an en-suite full-beam master cabin that feels like a real treat. It’s a bit of a toss-up, depending on whether you prioritise more cabins or a more luxurious primary suite.
Now, the Wajer 77 is all about performance and efficiency, hitting a cruising speed of 30 knots. It’s a great-looking boat for those who value speed and sleekness. The Pardo GT75 might not match the Wajer's velocity, but it offers a healthy balance of performance and luxurious accommodation, making it a better bet for those who want a mix of style and substance.
Let's not forget the Zeelander 8, which blasts ahead with a maximum speed of 40 knots, proving its prowess in raw performance. While the Pardo GT75 might not reach these dizzying speeds, it compensates by being a bit more affordable and those gorgeous design details that inform the overall experience.
Finally, the Wally WHY150 impresses with a significant gross tonnage of 148GT & unique design, offering a spacious and well-protected environment. The Pardo GT75 might not match the Wally's size, but it holds its own with a clever design that maximises space, providing a cosy atmosphere that’s perfect for an intimate escape.
