Pardo Yachts is one of the hottest names in Mediterranean sport cruising, a brand that launched in 2016 and has grown at a pace that has startled the established Italian yacht industry. Pardo is built by Cantiere del Pardo, a shipyard founded in 1973 in Forlì, Emilia-Romagna — the same region that produces Ferrari, Maserati, and Ducati, and that has become a cradle of Italian marine excellence.
Cantiere del Pardo built its original reputation with the Grand Soleil range of performance sailing yachts, which earned a devoted following among European racing sailors for their elegant lines and competitive performance. The decision to launch a motor yacht brand in 2016 was a calculated bet that the market for stylish, well-built Mediterranean sport cruisers was underserved — and the bet paid off spectacularly. The Pardo 38 and Pardo 43 became instant hits, with waiting lists that extended for years.
In 2023, the shipyard was acquired by Oniverse (formerly the Calzedonia Group), an Italian conglomerate best known for fashion brands including Calzedonia, Intimissimi, and Falconeri. The acquisition brought substantial capital for expansion and lent an interesting fashion-industry perspective to yacht design — appropriate for a brand whose appeal is as much about style and lifestyle as it is about naval architecture.
The Pardo Yachts range spans from the Pardo 38 to the Pardo 75. The design language is distinctively Italian: clean, contemporary lines, a signature walkaround deck layout, teak throughout, and an emphasis on al fresco living that reflects Mediterranean boating culture. The larger models (Pardo 50, 60, 75) incorporate cabins and galleys for overnight cruising, but the soul of a Pardo is the day boat experience — long lunches at anchor, swimming from the bathing platform, and sundowner cocktails in a harbour.
The shipyard also builds the VanDutch range of luxury tenders and day boats, acquired in 2021, and continues to produce Grand Soleil sailing yachts. This combination of brands gives Cantiere del Pardo coverage across performance sailing, Mediterranean sport cruising, and luxury tenders.
The typical Pardo buyer is a design-conscious Mediterranean yachtsman who values Italian style, quality craftsmanship, and the social experience of boating. Pardo competes with Fjord (a Hanse Group brand), the Ferretti Riva range, and Wallytender in the premium Mediterranean day boat and sport cruiser segment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pardo
Where are Pardo yachts built?
Pardo yachts are built by Cantiere del Pardo at the shipyard's facilities in Forlì, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The shipyard was founded in 1973 and was acquired by Oniverse (formerly Calzedonia Group) in 2023. Cantiere del Pardo also builds Grand Soleil sailing yachts and VanDutch luxury tenders.
What types of boats does Pardo build?
Pardo Yachts builds Mediterranean sport cruisers from 38 to 75 feet. The range emphasises day boating, al fresco entertaining, and stylish Italian design. Larger models (Pardo 50, 60, 75) include cabins for overnight cruising. The parent shipyard also produces Grand Soleil performance sailing yachts and VanDutch luxury day boats.
How has Pardo grown so quickly since 2016?
Pardo's rapid growth since its 2016 launch is attributed to its distinctive Italian design, the shipyard's 50+ years of boatbuilding expertise (from Grand Soleil), and strong demand for stylish Mediterranean sport cruisers in the 38-to-75-foot segment. The Pardo 38 and 43 generated immediate waiting lists, and the 2023 acquisition by Oniverse provided capital for further expansion.
How does Pardo compare to Riva or Fjord?
All three serve the premium Mediterranean sport cruiser and day boat market. Riva (Ferretti Group) offers the most iconic brand heritage and status. Fjord (Hanse Group) brings Scandinavian design sensibility. Pardo delivers contemporary Italian styling with the craftsmanship of a shipyard that has been building boats since 1973. Pardo's value proposition combines design, quality, and slightly more competitive pricing than Riva.
