The Refreshed Pardo 43: Elegance Meets Performance on the Water
The Pardo 43 has been reimagined, blending elegance and power in a stunning new design. This yacht retains its sleek silhouette and signature inverted bow, but now boasts enhanced visual lightness thanks to larger hull windows and a more fluid deck line. The carbon T-Top seamlessly integrates with the windshield, creating an aesthetic continuity that balances sportiness and refinement. The design, a collaboration between Zuccheri Yacht Design and Nauta Design, showcases a more dynamic style while maintaining the understated elegance that made the original model so successful.
Redefined proportions improve onboard circulation, with wide, secure side decks, well-integrated handrails, and generous volumes reflecting a focus on comfort and safety. The more muscular stern features a large sunbed and a hydraulic platform designed for easy tender launching.
Comfort and Sociability Onboard
Life aboard the Pardo 43 is designed to be fluid and sociable. The aft area can accommodate up to ten guests around a modular table that converts into a sunbathing area. The outdoor kitchen, equipped with a barbecue, refrigerator, and complete work surface, serves as the heart of outdoor living. At the bow, a second lounge area with seating facing the sea enhances the feeling of openness and freedom.
Below deck, the atmosphere remains true to the Nauta Design spirit: clean lines, noble materials, and abundant light. Large side windows accentuate the connection with the exterior, and two versions are available: a double cabin with a bathroom, or a two-cabin configuration for longer voyages. The attention to detail in the finishes and lighting creates a soothing ambiance, a blend of cruising comfort and contemporary style.
Discreet Technology, Assertive Performance
Beneath its refined exterior, the Pardo 43 conceals robust mechanics. Powered by two Volvo IPS 500 engines (2 x 370 hp), with options for higher power, it reaches 37 knots while maintaining controlled fuel consumption thanks to an optimized hull. The outboard motorization of the Pardo 43R, designed for thrill-seekers, can accommodate up to three 600-horsepower Mercury engines, exceeding 50 knots.
Onboard systems are centered around an intuitive helm station: three touch screens centralize navigation, home automation, and comfort management (air conditioning, lights, audio). The Pardo 43 emphasizes ease of use and reliability, with a well-organized engine compartment and easy access for maintenance.

More than just a restyling, this 2025 version reflects the evolution of a philosophy: to reconcile design, performance, and conviviality. A balance that confirms Italian know-how at its most precise, that of an art of living at sea, between controlled elegance and the pleasure of navigation.
