Pardo Yachts 43

Pardo is a new motor boat range launched by the same shipyard that builds Grand Soleil sailing yachts. The 43 is the first model of the line and it appears to have the Fjord 42 firmly in its sights. Like the Fjord, it is a boat that will primarily be used for dayboating with an interior that’s comfortable enough for a couple or family to spend a weekend on board. It’s open plan with a double bed forward and two singles tucked beneath the cockpit with a separate bathroom in between. The deck layout is perfect for the sort of long days that lead to late evenings and with either IPS500 or 600, it will have plenty of poke to get from one bay to the next. Contact Pardo Yachts.
