Italian builder Pardo Yachts hosted the U.S. premiere of its GT range flagship model, the Pardo GT75, at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

“It’s a luxurious villa on the sea, designed to offer a unique and sophisticated experience,” Gigi Servidati, president of Cantiere del Pardo, stated in a press release. “The Pardo GT75 embodies the vision we aimed to achieve, thanks to our boatbuilding heritage, combined with outstanding design and cutting-edge technology.”

Zuccheri Yacht Design was tapped for the Pardo GT75’s naval architecture, and Nauta Design was hired for the exteriors and interiors.

Standard propulsion includes three 800-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS1050s, though the builder says the engine room is set up to accommodate a hybrid package if that’s what owners would prefer.

Fuel capacity is about 1,080 gallons, with a freshwater capacity of 290 gallons. Equipment includes a bow thruster and a gyrostabilizer, with a second joystick in the cockpit to make close-quarters maneuvering easier for skippers.

Powered by triple 800 hp Volvo Penta IPS1050 diesel engines, the Pardo GT75 can reportedly reach speeds of up to 38 knots. Alberto Cocchi

“The shipyard’s requests were clear from the beginning: to create the largest Pardo ever, while staying true to the key elements that have distinguished its smaller siblings in the range,” Edoardo Zuccheri of Zuccheri Design stated in the press release. “After a long and complex design process, we can say we are more than satisfied with the final result: performance, seaworthiness, design and engineering are truly flagship-worthy. The synergy between the shipyard, Nauta Design and our studio has been inspiring, and we believe the final result is remarkable.”

Guest areas include a lounge within an enclosed superstructure with a semi-open roof. Most of the wraparound windows can be opened. In the cockpit, there’s a sun lounger and foldout side terraces. At the bow, there’s another sunpad, a sofa and a table for cocktails or coffee.

As for the layout, owners can choose galley-up or galley-down designs. In the galley-up version, there’s a dining table for eight guests. In the galley-down version, the main deck becomes a living area with sofas.

Accommodations can include two, three or four staterooms with as many as 10 berths total. The owner’s stateroom spans the yacht’s beam, and the standard layout is a three-stateroom, three-head affair. There’s also a cabin for two crew.

Massimo Gino, co-founder of Nauta Design, says this about the Pardo GT75: “We have translated the experience of seaside living into a luxurious yacht. 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.”
