Positioned between the GT52 and GT75, the Pardo GT65 offers a bright, owner-focused crossover design with seamless ocean views.
Pardo GT65, positioned as the third model in the enduringly popular GT crossover range, sits perfectly between the GT52 and the flagship GT75, representing a synthesis of the GT philosophy. Conceived by Cantiere del Pardo as a deliberate and well-balanced choice rather than a compromise, the GT65 embodies a clear vision: an owner-focused yacht that harmonizes iconic design, onboard comfort and reliable performance. Interpreting the crossover concept through a contemporary lens, the GT65 offers a bright, welcoming lifestyle on board with a strong, uninterrupted connection to the sea, while preserving the distinctive character and style that define the Pardo identity.
Naval architecture and design: form driven by function
The naval architecture of the GT65 has been developed by Zuccheri Yacht Design, while the exterior styling, interior design and general arrangement are entrusted to Milan-based studio Nauta, whose approach combines aesthetic purity with practical solutions. The boat’s profile is immediately recognizable thanks to the reverse bow, a defining stylistic hallmark of Pardo Yachts. The deckhouse features lightened glazing, with two large, single glass surfaces forming the entire perimeter, creating a continuous visual flow between interior and exterior.
A reduced number of deckhouse pillars has been achieved through careful structural optimization. This solution maximizes natural light, enhances visibility and delivers a true 360-degree visual continuity, reinforcing the sense of openness while maintaining structural integrity. A large glazed window enhances the indoor/outdoor connection, with a top-hinged opening on the port section allowing the cockpit and interior spaces to merge seamlessly at anchor or underway. The GT65 features a vertical drop anchor, fully integrated into the bow. This solution preserves the clean lines while ensuring ease of use and operational efficiency. The walkaround configuration guarantees freedom of movement, safety and full usability from bow to stern.
Exterior spaces
The GT65’s exterior layout reflects a strong focus on functionality without sacrificing visual purity. Among the yacht’s standout features is a concealed tender garage capable of housing a tender of up to 3.25 metres, preserving clean lines and the vessel’s sleek profile. At the stern, a cantilevered aft sunbed extends over the swim platform. Beneath a dedicated section of the cushions, a grill and sink are seamlessly integrated, transforming the area into a practical yet refined social and entertaining space. Forward, the bow hosts a generous sunbathing area with adjustable backrests on both sides, allowing guests to tailor their seating or lounging position. This space also functions as a second outdoor lounge, complete with a table and a convertible sofa, offering flexibility and comfort throughout the day.
Interior layout
Below deck, the GT65 features a unique and highly optimized layout, designed to ensure balance between volumes, ergonomics and overall onboard experience. The yacht offers three cabins and three bathrooms, providing generous accommodation for owners and guests. A key innovation is the raised galley positioned on the lower deck to free up space, improve circulation and enhance overall liveability. This configuration also allows for better separation between service and guest areas, increasing comfort during extended stays on board. The full-beam owner’s cabin, located forward, is particularly spacious and features a transverse double bed, alongside a dedicated walk-in wardrobe: the first of its kind for a Pardo Yachts model.
High-end materials can be found throughout the interior. Ultra-compact technical stone replaces the acrylic surfaces found on previous models, offering improved durability, tactile quality and visual refinement. The premium wood flooring, laid to create a residential parquet effect, reinforces the sense of warmth and sophistication. A crew cabin is also included, with access from the cockpit near the entrance glazing via a dedicated technical service area that houses the electrical panel. This area is strategically positioned between the crew cabin and the engine room, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance while remaining discreet.
Engineering and performance
From a technical standpoint, the fuel tanks are located centrally in the engine room, in a baricentric position that optimizes weight distribution and mass balance, contributing to stability and efficiency while underway. The most powerful version of the GT65 will be equipped with twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 engines, for a maximum speed of 35 knots and an estimated cruising speed of 25–26 knots. The Pardo GT65 is set to make its official industry debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.
