Cantiere del Pardo opens the 2026 season by attending boot Düsseldorf, the leading indoor boat show and a key reference point for Central and Northern Europe. The group presents a comprehensive display featuring new motorboats and top-tier sailing yachts, reaffirming its ambition to strengthen its presence in the most strategic segments of the leisure boating market.

On the motor side, Pardo Yachts unveils the new Pardo 43 for its Düsseldorf premiere. Fresh from an extensive international tour that began last September in Cannes and Genoa and continued in the United States, the model has met with enthusiastic feedback from both Pardo owners and new customers alike, thanks to its versatility and distinctly sporty character.

Making its debut on the stand is also the innovative Pardo Digital Lounge: a dedicated area for clients and visitors where exclusive images and virtual content of the new Pardo GT65 and the P43R - the outboard version of the Pardo 43, scheduled for launch next spring — can be previewed for the first time.

For sailing enthusiasts, Grand Soleil Yachts showcases the Grand Soleil 52 Performance, a standout model within the brand’s sport-oriented range. An exclusive space of the stand is entirely devoted to the Plus Line, the family of yachts over 60 feet designed for owners seeking fully bespoke yachts, built around their individual needs and offering comfortable, safe sailing with an uncompromising level of quality.

“With our participation in boot Düsseldorf 2026, we aim to present a strong, coherent and forward looking line-up that fully reflects the Group’s development strategy,” says Marcello Veronesi, CEO of Cantiere del Pardo. “From the new Pardo 43, which continues to exceed expectations, to the preview of the GT65, and the ongoing success of Grand Soleil’s Plus Line, 2026 will be a year of major launches and solid confirmations for owners and passionate sailors and boaters worldwide.”

Cantiere del Pardo’s most anticipated launches for 2026

2026 will be a particularly dynamic year for Cantiere del Pardo, with significant new debuts in both the motor and sailing segments. For Pardo Yachts, the most eagerly awaited model is the new Pardo GT65, the crossover yacht completing the GT range. Designed to offer generous liveable spaces, flexible yet rational layouts and a strong connection with the surrounding environment, the GT65 blends iconic design elements, such as the reverse bow, with contemporary solutions, including a raised galley on the lower deck and full-height, single-panel glazing on the deckhouse, enhancing visual continuity between interior and exterior spaces.
The model will make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

On the sailing front, Grand Soleil Yachts will introduce three major new models, starting with the Grand Soleil 60 Long Cruise, conceived for bluewater cruising, with optimised spaces and volumes to ensure comfort, autonomy and safe making over long distances.

The most significant and highly anticipated launch, however, is undoubtedly the new flagship of the Plus Line: the Grand Soleil Plus 80, which will be unveiled in both Long Cruise and Performance versions. The GS Plus 80 represents a major challenge for the shipyard, combining expansive interior volumes, highly versatile layouts and state-of-the-art construction technologies, all tailored to meet the expectations of the most discerning owners.

The Grand Soleil 60 LC and the Plus 80 LC will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, while the Plus 80 Performance will follow towards the end of the year.
