A 300-Nautical-Mile Range Defines the Pardo GT75 Grand Tourer
Defining the Crossover Flagship
Following the commercial traction of the GT52, Cantiere del Pardo has scaled its production to introduce a 22.85-metre flagship. The GT75 functions as a deliberate crossover between the builder’s Walkaround and Endurance ranges, attempting to retain the accessibility of a dayboat while providing the structural volume necessary for extended coastal voyages. Penned in collaboration with Nauta Design, the vessel targets owners transitioning toward longer itineraries without sacrificing raw performance.
The Reverse Sheer Hull
The exterior profile immediately signals a departure from traditional layouts. The architecture relies on a sweeping reverse sheer hull topped by a low-slung, forward-leaning cabin. Accompanied by trapezoidal cabin windows, the exterior geometry conveys aggressive forward motion even when the 48,300-kilogram vessel remains stationary at anchor. This specific visual identity positions the GT75 as a highly recognizable addition to the Mediterranean circuit.
Deck Configurations and Terraces
Expanding usable exterior volume dictates the aft layout. Guests step from the swim platform past an expansive sunpad arrangement into a shaded cockpit equipped with a C-shaped sofa and dining table. The structural footprint features two unfolding side terraces to physically widen the deck area. Buyers can specify a hidden tender garage situated beneath the sunpads or opt for an alternative beach arrangement that removes the garage to establish private, direct access to the owner’s cabin via sliding glass doors.
Integrating the Main Saloon
The interior architecture seeks to minimize the physical separation between enclosed and open spaces. The main saloon utilizes signature wraparound windows that open toward the rear, complemented by a Venetian-style louvred roof. Sliding doors flank the forward helm station, allowing the crew to effectively convert the GT75 into an open boat depending on prevailing weather patterns. The initial hull features a galley-down configuration with white oak veneers, separating the forward VIP suite and the full-beam master cabin.
Propulsion and Offshore Endurance
Achieving substantial velocity with a heavy displacement requires aggressive mechanical outfitting. The GT75 utilizes an optimized hull form engineered by Zuccheri Yacht Design, propelled by three 800-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1050 engines. Operators can also upgrade the engine room to house 1,000-horsepower IPS 1350 units. This configuration pushes the crossover to a maximum speed of 38 knots. When dialed back to a fast-cruising speed of 30 knots, the 4,300-litre fuel capacity yields a continuous range of 300 nautical miles, confirming its capabilities for serious point-to-point navigation. Pricing for the platform begins at €3.8 million.
