Pardo 43: The new edition of the successful model
Cantiere del Pardo presents the revised version of its successful Pardo 43 with numerous detail improvements and optional outboard motorisation for the first time.

The Pardo 43 was redesigned and presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.

The 14-metre-long Pardo 43 walkaround yacht retains its characteristic silhouette, but has been improved in many details. Over 300 units have been sold since the original model was launched in 2017.

New design concept with more light

The new Pardo 43 was developed in collaboration with Nauta Design (interior) and Zuccheri Yacht Design (exterior and hull). Among the most striking innovations are the integrated hull windows, which provide more natural light below deck. The air inlets have been moved outwards and skilfully integrated into the side line. The sloping line gives the boat a sportier profile.

The cockpit has been completely redesigned. The dashboard has been given a new interface, which was specially developed for Pardo Yachts in collaboration with Garmin. There is now an additional forward-facing bench seat in the bow area, which allows for more socialising. The sundeck at the stern has been modified and now offers more space for relaxing.

The galley has more storage space and work surface. The hardtop supports are structurally connected to the tempered glass windscreen. This not only creates a modern silhouette, but also increases the overall rigidity of the boat.

More convenience and flexible drive options

Although the Pardo 43 is primarily designed as a day boat, living comfort has been significantly improved. The Dometic air conditioning system now supplies both the cockpit and the interior, including the wet room. A stabiliser from Seakeeper or Quick can be installed as an option for greater comfort and a smoother ride. Starlink is available for internet connection even in remote areas.

A significant innovation is the option of outboard motorisation for the first time. Boat owners can choose between Volvo Penta IPS engines (IPS 500 with 2 x 272 kW/370 hp as standard, optional IPS 600 with 2 x 324 kW/440 hp or IPS 650 with 2 x 353 kW/480 hp) or a triple outboard configuration with Mercury engines. The latter is available with V10 engines (3 x 294 kW/400 hp) or V12 engines (3 x 441 kW/600 hp). A specially adapted hull design has been developed for each drive variant.

Practical innovations include an automatic bathing ladder for easier water access, solar panels for sustainable self-charging and an extended windscreen for better side protection. The fuel capacity has been increased to 1,300 litres, enabling longer non-stop journeys.

Flexible interior design

Inside, the new Pardo 43 offers two layout options: a double berth in the bow or a dinette in the foredeck with a bench seat that can easily be converted into a comfortable double bed. The ceiling panelling has been fitted with more fabric panels for a more elegant appearance.

The window blackouts have been improved for better light control and privacy. The aft cabin with two single berths has become more spacious and offers 8 cm more headroom. A 32-inch television provides entertainment. New wooden surfaces and ambient lighting create a pleasant atmosphere on board.

The proven construction of the original remains unchanged: Vinylester resin infusion, foam core sandwich laminates in the deck and superstructure and carbon fibre reinforcement. The T-top is also made of carbon fibre. The Pardo is approved for 12 people in CE category B or 16 people in CE category C.
