Two Pardo models selected
Pardo Yachts secured a double nomination for the 2026 Motor Boat Awards with the GT75 and Endurance 72, placing two of the builder’s larger models before the annual Motor Boat & Yachting judging panel.
The nominations were notable because the two yachts represent different interpretations of Pardo’s design language rather than two closely related versions of the same platform.
GT75 targets the sportscruiser buyer
The GT75 develops Pardo’s performance-led identity into a larger yacht with increased accommodation and cruising capability. It remains recognisably connected to the builder’s walkaround and GT families while moving further into the luxury cruising market.
The model subsequently went on to win its category at the 2026 awards, turning the earlier nomination into a significant launch-year result.
Endurance 72 takes a different route
The Endurance 72 is positioned around longer-range use and greater interior volume, giving Pardo a second route for owners who want the brand’s styling but place more emphasis on extended cruising.
Having both yachts nominated showed the breadth the builder is seeking as it expands beyond the open walkaround segment where the Pardo name first became widely recognised.
Awards add independent context
Industry awards do not replace sea trials, technical due diligence or owner feedback, but they can provide another reference point when new models enter a crowded market.
For Pardo, the double nomination supported the message that the GT and Endurance ranges are intended to address distinct owner profiles while sharing a common design and quality strategy.
