The Pardo 52 GT is an evolution of the 50 GT. It retains the hull, but gives up the walk-around concept in favor of a more enclosed boat with a beautiful wheelhouse and cabin cruiser-like interior. However, the styling remains very dynamic, even downright sporty from certain angles, making the Pardo a day cruiser, cabin cruiser and sport cruiser in one.
A more cruiser-oriented model
A positioning confirmed by its place in the range, between the Walkaround and Endurance models, and a mix of genres that also makes it original and the line is really nicel.
The Pardo 50 GT was a great success, so the idea of taking its base and creating a cruising version made sense. Designed by Nauta Design, the 52 Gt boasts eye-catching lines, with a very modern inverted bow, a very straight deck line plunging towards the aft platform, and a wheelhouse with a striking inverted windshield.
The whole is highlighted by two long side portholes for a very simple, modern look.
Plenty of space outside to make the most of the maritime environment.
Taking advantage of a long, completely flat frontdeck, the shipyard has installed a large solarium with a slightly raised head area. The frontdeck also leaves plenty of room for access to the anchor locker if required, or simply for deck maneuvers. For aesthetic reasons, the anchor disappears into its compartment when underway, and there's no balcony to break up the line. Good for design, not so good for safety. Similarly, the angle of the davit is not optimal, so you have to help the anchor a little.
You climb aboard via the large swimming platform, where two steps give access to the cockpit. The cockpit is organized around a central area that serves as a sunbathing and dining area, with additional storage space under the seats. The table is electrically operated, which saves effort. Two bench seats leaning against the cabin bulkhead complete this simple layout, which also includes two refrigerators. To further blur the separation between interior and exterior, the rear windows can be fully opened - a good idea.
