Cantiere del Pardo unveils the Pardo GT65, the third GT model, which won the Design Innovation Award at the Genoa Boat Show.
Cantiere del Pardo presents the new Pardo GT65: the third model in the GT range after the Pardo GT52 and Pardo GT75, and the most accomplished synthesis of the GT philosophy. Following her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, the GT65 was one of the stars of the 66th Genoa International Boat Show, where she won the Design Innovation Award in the motor yachts over 14 metres category. The jury recognised her “exclusive layout” and “the panoramic experience offered by the design of the helm station”.
Born from the collaboration between Cantiere del Pardo, Nauta Design and naval architects Zuccheri Yacht Design, the GT65 is designed to be open to the sea, yet as intimate as a home. Her clean lines and signature reverse bow declare her GT pedigree, while a sequence of connected spaces, where inside and outside flow seamlessly into one another, speaks of a yacht designed to follow every moment of the day.
On deck, the cockpit is a true open-air living room, with seating facing every direction and a table for more than twelve guests. Open the large retractable glazing, and cockpit and saloon become a single space. Aft, the multifunction platform launches the tender, stowed in a garage for boats of up to 3.25 metres, and lowers to the water’s surface with its boarding steps submerged.
Below deck, three cabins and three heads are the result of more than 45 layouts studied and the experience of some 70 GT owners. The full-beam owner’s suite, forward and well away from the engine room, introduces a walk-in wardrobe for the first time on a Pardo. Set half a level between saloon and cabins, the galley stays open to the living area, so whoever is cooking is never cut off from the guests. Natural oak parquet alternates with Dekton worktops and fabric-lined walls, in a sophistication built on texture, light and proportion.
At the helm, the experience is shared: an optional second helm station with joystick at the bow lets the owner drive all the way to top speed without leaving the guests. An interface developed with Garmin manages lighting, climate and power, smartphone included, while multi-layer soundproofing and 96,000 BTU air conditioning as standard deliver a comfort that goes unnoticed.
Zuccheri Yacht Design’s experience translates into a hull derived from the Pardo GT75 platform, with pronounced side strakes and centrally placed fuel tanks for a well-balanced distribution of weight. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS units, the GT65 reaches up to 35 knots*, with a cruising speed of around 26 knots and a range of more than 300 nautical miles*. At 20 knots, she becomes a relaxed cruiser. That is the synthesis of the GT philosophy, and her promise: the perfect yacht is ready, and all she needs is an owner to complete her.
