Pardo yachts has created a line of stylish walkaround yachts from 38 to 50 feet, known for their instantly recognizab­le sleek and low profile, peppy performanc­e, and modern constructi­on methods and materials. With its Endurance 60, the Italian builder takes its walkaround philosophy to new lengths. It also adds a flybridge and expands accommodat­ions for friends-and-family voyaging. ¶ The new flybridge has sun pads and sofas, expanded entertainm­ent space, and room for owners to add a second, optional helm. In profile, the yacht maintains the brand’s sinewy DNA. This aesthetic is enhanced by the plumb bow, stretching the profile and helping to increase internal volume. The way the Endurance 60’s sheer sweeps down and aft toward the cockpit, parallelin­g the design of the flybridge above it, further enhances the look. ¶ Power is twin 700 or 800 hp Volvo Penta IPS diesels. The builder projects a 25-knot top-end speed. Cruise

speed range is reportedly 14 to 21 knots. ¶ Accommodat­ions include a full-beam master stateroom amidships with an en suite head. The forepeak VIP stateroom has an en suite head and can be set up with either twins or a double berth. There’s also a crew cabin with a head.

¶ The Endurance 60 has foldout terraces flanking the cockpit, helping to create 376 square feet of outdoor entertainm­ent space, including a cockpit lounge and table, and foredeck sun pads. The hydraulic swim platform should be handy when it’s time to launch the tender or take a swim. ¶ The Endurance 60’s look and function offer a glimpse toward the horizon where Pardo may take this yacht series next, and it’s a view with a lot of promise.
