Luxury Italian yacht builder Pardo has launched the all-new Pardo 43 as the boating market gears up for tradeshow season in Europe and North America.

The 43 platform, first launched in 2017 and immediately becoming a bestseller, has been completely re-engineered for 2026. The new platform will carry an LOA of 14m (45'11") with a 4.2 m beam (13'9"). She will hold a 1300 liter fuel tank (343 gal) with a 400 liter freshwater tank (105 gal). Power will come via twin Volvo IPS 500 engines, each pushing 370 horsepower as standard. An optional upgrade to twin Volvo IPS 600 engines (400 horsepower each) or twin Volvo IPS 650 engines (480 horsepower each) is also available. Outboard power is also available with triple Mercury V10 engines 400s (standard) or triple Mercury V12 600 Verados.

"The Pardo 43 was born from a clear vision, to create something truly distinctive: a walkaround yacht that could combine performance, elegance, and onboard comfort like never before," says Gigi Servidati, President of Cantiere del Pardo, in a press release with Yachts & Yachting.

"Its incredible success, with over 300 units sold to date, is a testament to that vision. But for us, success has never meant standing still. This new version is not about revolution, but evolution - continuing to refine and improve a model that has already made history."

The interior for the Pardo 43 will come from Nauta Design, while the exterior was done in collaboration between Nauta Design and Zuccheri Yacht Design, who also designed the naval architecture.

Standout features of the new design include all-new hull windows, which were not part of the original 43, to create more natural lighting below deck. The new platform will also see redesigned sunpads, a new carbon fiber T-top, an automatic bathing ladder below the stern platform, underwater LED lights, and solar panels for on-board power management. Other perks include a reworked external galley and new design details like air intakes relocated to the exterior and integrated into the 'swoosh' of the topsides. The descending sheer line adds a sportier, more dynamic silhouette, while the refined hull geometry delivers an even more fluid, elegant profile.

The helm will also see a complete overhaul with a new yacht automation interface developed in collaboration with Garmin and customized specifically for Pardo Yachts. Other tech highlights include Dometic air conditioning in both cockpit and interior spaces, including the bathroom. A stabilizer is an available options with a choice between Seakeeper and Quick for an even smoother ride. Starlink connectivity is also available offering satellite-based high-speed internet even in the most remote destinations.

"When we launched the original Pardo 43 in 2017, it quickly became our bestseller, defining the success and positioning of Pardo Yachts and dominating the market for luxury walkaround sportsboats," added Marcello Veronesi, CEO of Cantiere del Pardo. "Now, seven years later and based on owner feedback, we're building on that legacy with an evolution shaped by our owners' feedback and our long-term vision. The new Pardo 43 stays true to its iconic lines while refining countless details and adding fresh design touches. It's a strategic step forward - staying true to our DNA while anticipating what tomorrow's owners expect."

Below deck, the Pardo 43 offers a choice of two layout options -- a twin cabin aft and a fixed V-berth ensuite in the bow, or a forward dinette with bench seating that can be converted into a double bed. Window shades have been upgraded for improved light control and privacy, and the air conditioning system now extends to the bathroom.

A 32" TV offers entertainment options for those relaxing below deck, while new wood finishes and ambient lighting elevate the atmosphere onboard.

The new Pardo 43 is expected to debut at the upcoming Genoa International Boat Show in Italy from Sept 18th-23rd and will debut in North America at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from Oct 29th-Nov 2nd in Florida.
