The world premiere of the Pardo GT75 at the Cannes Yachting Festival turned plenty of heads—and for good reason. At first glance, it fits into the growing category of sleek, fast, open-style cruisers. But one step aboard this 75-foot flagship reveals an interior layout and lifestyle philosophy that boldly challenges the norm. Pardo hasn’t just built a bigger version of its GT series—it’s reimagined how owners use space on the water.
In this review, we’ll take you through the standout features of the GT75, highlight its game-changing layout options, and explain why this €5 million yacht could redefine what it means to cruise in comfort.
A First Look at the GT75
From the stern, the Pardo GT75 instantly impresses with a vast aft platform that doubles as both a tender garage and a beach club. The garage accommodates a tender of up to 3.9 meters and is flanked by sunpads above. Retractable stern winches are neatly flush with the deck when not in use—evidence of the attention to detail found throughout the vessel.
The folding balconies port and starboard dramatically increase the beam when deployed. They create a waterside terrace effect that extends usable deck space—ideal for anchoring in a bay or hosting guests dockside.
Outdoor Living, Upgraded
Stepping forward into the cockpit, a large seating area sits under a retractable awning built into the hardtop. This section flows directly into the main salon through sliding glass doors. Yet even with the doors closed, the ceiling’s operable louvers and wide side openings blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The effect is a relaxed, beach-house feel that’s rare on yachts of this size.
The main deck lounge is all about socializing. There’s no galley here. Instead, you’ll find an expansive seating area with a height-adjustable table, integrated refrigeration, bar space, and discreet storage. It’s an environment designed for conversation, cocktails, and laid-back comfort.
Helm Innovation
Forward on the main deck is a helm setup that blends futuristic styling with practical command. Twin seats face a floating pod that houses the Garmin navigation system, joystick controls, and a surround-view camera system that provides a live, helicopter-style perspective of the yacht. It’s the kind of tech that boosts confidence in tight marina maneuvers and elevates the piloting experience.
The Galley Reimagined
Down below is where the Pardo GT75 reveals its most radical feature: an optional full-beam “country kitchen” in place of multiple guest cabins. This lower galley setup is unlike anything traditionally found on a 75-footer. Owners can opt for layouts with three or four cabins if needed—but for those prioritizing lifestyle over headcount, this open-plan lower deck is a revelation.
Spanning the entire beam, the galley features twin sinks, a full-size American fridge-freezer, and generous cabinetry for storage. Even a dishwasher and crockery stowage have been neatly integrated. The adjacent lounge space includes a TV area perfect for winding down in the evening, reading a book, or hosting informal dinners with friends.
Tailored to the Modern Owner
Not every owner of a 75-foot yacht is ferrying around a large family or a crowd of guests. Often, it’s couples—either alone or with one other couple—who prefer the extra comfort, space, and stability of a larger platform. This layout caters directly to that demographic.
Why fill a boat with rarely used cabins when you could instead enjoy a sprawling lower salon, full-featured kitchen, and even a dedicated utility room? It’s an honest question—and the GT75 answers it in spectacular fashion.
Cabin Comforts
The VIP and master cabins are just as well appointed as you’d expect on a yacht of this size. The VIP sits forward, with excellent natural light, abundant storage, and an en suite bathroom featuring a separate shower, toilet, and bidet.
Aft, the owner’s suite boasts full-beam volume, large wardrobes, and a bathroom with dual doors and ample counter space. Every detail, from lighting to locker hardware, has been thoughtfully selected to create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere.
Modular Layouts for Versatility
While the two-cabin plus galley-down configuration is a headline feature, Pardo also offers flexible alternatives. Owners can opt for a three- or four-cabin layout by replacing the lower galley and lounge with guest cabins. There’s even an option to keep the lower lounge but add a single additional guest cabin to port or starboard.
This modularity makes the GT75 suitable for both private ownership and charter applications—though the layout as shown in this review is likely to be the most appealing for hands-on owner-operators.
Crew and Overflow Options
At the bow, beneath a cleverly concealed anchor-handling setup, a compact crew or overflow cabin is hidden from view. Inside are twin bunks, a separate shower, and toilet facilities. This flexible space works well as a children’s cabin for visiting family or light-duty crew quarters if required. It’s another example of how Pardo has squeezed functionality into every corner of the GT75.
Forward Lounge and Entertainment Zones
The foredeck lounge area is a standout feature, offering flexible seating, built-in refrigeration, stereo speakers, and modular sun loungers that can be arranged to face forward or backward. A tilting sunroof integrated into the hardtop extension above ensures airflow and comfort even in full sun.
These kinds of forward entertaining areas are one of the key reasons buyers move into larger yachts—and the GT75 delivers this space with comfort and style.
Triple-Engine Power
In the engine room, the GT75 comes with a choice of triple IPS configurations: either 800hp IPS 1050s or 1000hp IPS 1350s. The boat in this review was fitted with the latter, offering a top speed around 35 knots and a cruising speed of 30. At cruise, expect a range of roughly 350 nautical miles. At displacement speeds, that range stretches significantly, making long weekends or coastal hops a breeze.
The triple IPS system also means joystick docking, quieter running, and increased fuel efficiency compared to traditional shaft drives—ideal for owner-operators.
Final Thoughts: A Flagship With a Difference
The Pardo GT75 isn’t just another big day boat. It’s a rethinking of what owners want from their yachting lifestyle. Instead of packing cabins into every corner, it celebrates space, light, and sociability. The result is a flagship that’s as comfortable for a couple on a long weekend as it is entertaining friends in a glamorous marina.
In a market filled with copy-paste layouts, Pardo dares to be different—and in doing so, has delivered one of the most exciting new models in its class.
