The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025 is ready to welcome two true icons of Italian excellence. From October 29 to November 2, Pardo Yachts returns to Florida with a strong presence that reaffirms its bond with the American market and the shipyard’s international vocation. Taking center stage will be two exceptional models: the new Pardo 43, an evolution of the icon that redefined the concept of the luxury walkaround, and the Endurance 72, the flagship of the long-range line making its debut in Fort Lauderdale and bringing across the ocean a new idea of efficient, refined cruising.
Two yachts with very different philosophies, yet united by the same vision: that of Cantiere del Pardo, which for over fifty years has been building boats that combine design, performance, and comfort with an unmistakable aesthetic identity.
New Pardo 43: the natural evolution of an icon
The Pardo 43 is the model that marked the beginning of Pardo Yachts’ story back in 2017. Since then, over 300 units have been delivered worldwide, making it one of the most recognizable walkarounds on the market. Today, after seven years of success, the shipyard presents a new version that doesn’t revolutionize but rather evolves the original, refining every detail without betraying its DNA.
As Gigi Servidati, President of Cantiere del Pardo, explains, “this new version isn’t a restyling, but a coherent evolution—a step forward born from experience and from listening to our owners”. The result is a more sophisticated, more technologically advanced, and even more comfortable yacht that preserves the perfect balance of elegance and sportiness that made the brand famous.
The exterior lines were developed through the collaboration between Zuccheri Yacht Design and the Nauta Design studio. The goal was clear: to enhance functionality and livability without altering the 43’s iconic silhouette. The new hull windows, introduced for the first time, flood the interiors with natural light; the carbon T-top has been redesigned to offer greater structural rigidity and cleaner lines; and the enlarged, optimized outdoor galley now serves as a true convivial area on board.
At the bow, a new forward-facing bench offers guests another spot to gather while cruising, while aft, the sunpad—now inspired by the GT52—has been redesigned to provide even more space and comfort. The new, larger windshield improves protection and visibility, while the retractable sliding companionway door creates a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces, emphasizing the walkaround philosophy that made the model so iconic.
The helm station, too, is completely new. It now features a boat automation system developed with Garmin and customized for Pardo Yachts, simplifying the management of all onboard functions. Comfort is ensured by a Dometic air conditioning system that also serves the bathroom—a rare detail for boats of this size.
For maximum stability, the owner can choose between Seakeeper or Quick stabilizers, while Starlink satellite connectivity guarantees fast internet access even on long-range cruises.
From a construction point of view, the Pardo 43 stays true to the shipyard’s tradition: vinylester resin infusion lamination, foam sandwich for the deck and hull sides, carbon reinforcements, and a carbon fiber T-top. The result is a stiff, quiet, and perfectly balanced boat that sets a new standard in its category.
The new Pardo 43 also marks an important milestone in the brand’s history: for the first time, it’s available in an outboard version, developed specifically for the American market. Alongside the traditional Volvo Penta IPS 500, 600, and 650 inboard options, the model now offers three 400 hp Mercury V10 engines (standard) or three 600 hp Mercury V12 engines (optional). Each configuration comes with a dedicated hull, designed to optimize the characteristics of the chosen propulsion system. This dual soul enhances the 43’s versatility, making it even more suitable for every kind of owner and sea.
For the first time, the interiors are designed by Nauta Design. Below deck, the Pardo 43 offers two layouts: one with a forward owner’s cabin and twin aft cabins, and another with a dinette that converts into a double bed. New fabric and leather finishes, padded ceilings, and improved ambient lighting create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. The headroom in the aft cabin has been increased by 8 cm for a greater sense of space, while the option to install a 32” TV and new storage compartments adds both comfort and functionality.
Endurance 72: the flagship makes its American debut
The Pardo Endurance 72, the jewel of the long-range line, will also be on display at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. Designed for long-distance cruising, this yacht represents the ultimate expression of the “Endurance” philosophy: sailing slowly, quietly, efficiently, and independently—enjoying the journey rather than the destination.
Designed by BurdissoCapponi Yachts & Design, the project combines contemporary elegance with meticulous attention to comfort and efficiency. The multi-level interiors create a “villa on the sea” effect, with open, continuous spaces, floating furnishings, and clever use of natural light through the large, full-height windows.
The layout features an open-space main deck that seamlessly connects the panoramic salon, the galley, and the aft lounge area, with a spacious dining zone sheltered by a glass hard top that can be opened. Below deck, there are four cabins, each with its own en suite bathroom: a full-beam owner’s suite, a forward VIP cabin, and two guest cabins on the sides. The crew has a dedicated area with separate access.
From a technical standpoint, the Endurance 72 introduces advanced solutions for greater efficiency and autonomy. The hull – the result of extensive hydrodynamic research – is optimized to ensure low fuel consumption and excellent stability even at low speeds, perfectly suited for “slow cruising.” The propulsion system includes two Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 engines (or equivalent configurations), with the option to integrate solar panels for sustainable energy management.
The sound insulation and weight distribution ensure quiet operation with minimal vibrations and outstanding onboard comfort. Every detail has been designed for extended stays at sea: large freshwater and fuel tanks, generous storage spaces, and a wide hydraulic stern platform that can be used to launch the tender or as a true terrace on the water. With a lenght of over 22 meters, the Endurance 72 stands out as a yacht that perfectly combines efficiency, comfort, and Italian style, embodying the new frontier of long-range cruising by Pardo Yachts.
