The prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, scheduled from September 9 to 14, is once again ready to showcase the very best of the international boating scene. Among the most anticipated exhibitors is Cantiere del Pardo, a true icon of Italian excellence, renowned for combining innovation, performance, and timeless design. The shipyard confirms this spirit by bringing to the French show two world premieres from its Pardo Yachts and VanDutch brands, along with the national debut of a new Grand Soleil.
With a legacy spanning over fifty years, Cantiere del Pardo will arrive in Cannes with a broad and diverse offering that embraces both motor and sailing yachts. Its presence reaffirms its role as a leading player in the global boating scene, thanks to models that meet owners’ expectations while anticipating market trends with cutting-edge technological and design solutions.
Cantiere del Pardo world premieres
Among the highlights of the French boat show is the world premiere of the new Pardo 43, the evolution of the model that marked the beginning of Pardo Yachts’ story and over the years has become an icon of the brand.
The new 43-footer stands out with refreshed lines, improved hydrodynamic efficiency, and design solutions aimed at enhancing comfort and livability on board. Without losing the sporty and elegant character that made the original model famous, the restyling introduces an even more contemporary approach, meeting the expectations of owners seeking the perfect balance between performance, style, and functionality.
The other world premiere is the VanDutch 75, the new flagship of the VanDutch range. With bold lines, a sleek profile, and generous deck spaces, the yacht represents a contemporary evolution of the brand’s identity. The new interiors, designed by BurdissoCapponi Yachts&Design, combine fine materials with understated, relaxed elegance, making this 75-footer a benchmark for the new era of VanDutch.
A complete range for every need
Alongside the new Pardo 43, Cantiere del Pardo will showcase other highlights from the Pardo Yachts collection: the versatile Pardo 50, the refined GT52 and GT75, and the revolutionary Endurance 72, making its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival. This latest model represents a new frontier for long-range cruising, offering generous spaces, energy efficiency, and a design approach focused on the future of sustainable yachting.
The VanDutch lineup will also feature the VanDutch 40 and VanDutch 48.
The Grand Soleil Plus 65 Performance makes its Cannes debut
Sailing enthusiasts will also have plenty to look forward to. At Cannes 2025, the Grand Soleil Plus 65 Performance will be presented for the first time: the smallest model of the Plus line, officially unveiled last May in Palma, which has already drawn strong interest in the sailing world.
Thanks to advanced construction techniques, a performance-oriented hull, and spacious, contemporary interiors, the Grand Soleil Plus 65 Performance combines excellent sailing performance with the comfort and livability that have always distinguished Grand Soleil Yachts. Completing the lineup are the GS 42 LC, GS 44 P, GS 52 P, and GS Plus 72 LC.
Cantiere del Pardo’s international vocation
With this participation, Cantiere del Pardo reaffirms its international vocation and its ability to constantly reinvent itself, offering yachts that embody the essence of contemporary luxury: top-level performance, absolute comfort, and the unmistakable elegance of Italian design. The 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival is set to be a remarkable stage for the shipyard, once again ready to write a new chapter in its history.
