The design inspired by the early Wally has been adopted by many brands, so Pardo is not alone on the market. It will find competitors such as Fjord and its 53 XL, Vanquish and its VQ 52 and Vandutch with its 48.
Each of these boats arrives with a similar offering. The lines are modern, the construction meticulous and the basic equipment fairly complete.
Pardo 52 GT is the only one to offer a cruising concept
But the Pardo is also the only one of these four boats to offer a cruising concept with a large enclosed wheelhouse, while the other three rely on a more open design. So, if you're looking for a little more cruising in a wider range of weather conditions, the 52 GT has the edge.
Pricing-wise, the Pardo remains fairly close to its competitors. Priced at between $1.8 and $2,000,000, depending on engine and equipment, it comes up against the Fjord 53 and Vanquish VQ 52, at roughly the same price. A little smaller, the Vandutch is logically a little less expensive.
Third cabin and "Dolce vita" feeling
Last but not least, the Pardo 52 GT boasts a third cab, albeit a small one. For a family purchase, this can really make a difference. Finally, its very Italian styling and layout add a touch of romance and refinement that makes you think of « La dolce vita » as soon as you step aboard.
