Pardo 43

Onboard the Pardo 43

The Pardo 43 reads as a sport-yacht first: low profile, a fast planing hull, and a walkaround deck that lets guests move from bow to stern without stepping over furniture or squeezing past a helm station. At a cruising speed near 39 knots, it covers ground quickly, which matters when the plan is to reach open water rather than spend the morning motoring out of a marina.

For a day out of Sardinia, that speed changes what's reasonable to attempt. A run from Palau toward the Maddalena archipelago, with its shallow anchor fields and short hops between islands, suits a boat this size and this fast far better than a heavier displacement yacht. Guests can cover several bays in a single afternoon and still have time in the water at each stop, with the walkaround layout making it simple to move gear, swimmers, and towels around the deck without congestion.

With 10 guests and 2 cabins, the Pardo 43 sits between a pure day-boat and something you could hold onto overnight if the trip calls for it. It's a practical choice for a small group — friends, a couple with guests, a compact family charter — who want a boat that handles like a sport-yacht but still has a cabin to retreat to, rather than a full crewed itinerary built around a larger vessel.
