The high-end recreational boat market has undergone a remarkable evolution in recent years. Although open boats and large touring designs conquered anchorages around the world as the undisputed kings of daytime sailing, many shipowners began to demand something more: the ability to make long voyages without sacrificing contemporary design or direct connection to the sea. The response of the prestigious Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo to this need bears a name of its own: Pardo Endurance 60.
At Náutica Rio, located in the residential marina of Empuriabrava, in the heart of the Alt Empordà and the Costa Brava, we analyze in detail the keys that make this yacht the definitive benchmark for long-distance sailing.
A revolutionary concept: beyond the classic promenade
Until the arrival of the Endurance range, Pardo Yachts had revolutionized the open boat segment with iconic models such as the Pardo 38, 43 and 50. With the Pardo Endurance 60 (first member of the E range), the brand introduces a concept called the modern trawler or fast moving cruiser.
This boat represents a true transition: it maintains the minimalist aesthetic DNA, clean lines and inverted bow that have made the firm famous, but adds an extraordinary interior volume and a configuration designed to inhabit the sea for weeks in total independence.
Naval architecture and hydrodynamic efficiency
The Endurance 60 helmet, designed in collaboration with renowned naval design studio Davide Leone, has been designed specifically to optimize performance in conjunction with the Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system.
Unlike purely planable helmets designed for short periods of speed, the Pardo Endurance 60 offers a surprisingly flat and efficient consumption curve:
- Economical cruising speed: It allows you to sail at 10-12 knots in displacement mode, achieving exceptional autonomy for extended cruises.
- Fast cruising speed: It is capable of reaching speeds of about 20-25 knots when conditions require it or you want to get to the port quickly.
This versatility reduces fuel consumption, minimizes the environmental footprint and, most importantly, provides unparalleled sailing comfort, damping the passage and avoiding annoying noise or vibrations.
Total connection with the Mediterranean: exterior and interior design
One of the greatest achievements of the Pardo Endurance 60 is its ability to blur the barriers between the inside and the outside.
An aft cabin that opens to the water
The aft area is a real vantage point over the water. It has two folding side wings that increase the usable surface area of the bathing platform, transforming it into a real private beach club at sea level. The transition to the main saloon is made by means of large folding glass doors that, once fully opened, connect the rear galley with the outdoor cabin.
Bright spaces and handcrafted finishes
Inside, 360-degree panoramic windows flood the saloon and helm station with natural light. The aft galley is extremely practical to cater to both cabin and interior dining guests.
On the lower deck, the standard layout offers three full cabins and three bathrooms, as well as a separate cabin for the crew. The full-beam owner’s suite stands out for its generous height, fine wooden furniture and the sound insulation typical of superyachts.
A low-profile gateway
Unlike traditional flybridges that break the aerodynamic silhouette of the boat, the flybridge of the Endurance 60 is designed with a sleek and discreet profile. It houses a second helm station, a large rest area with solarium and bar, which offers privileged views for sailing or anchoring in exclusive coves.
