Grand Soleil

Performance cruising sailing yachts from 10 to 24 m, Cantiere del Pardo.

Grand Soleil is the sailing brand of Cantiere del Pardo, founded in Forlì in 1973. The first Grand Soleil 34 designed by Finot launched a lineage of fast, elegant, well-built cruisers that made the yard's reputation long before the Pardo motor boats.

The range covers 10 to 24 m: the Performance (GS 40 to 58) for racer-cruising, the Long Cruise (GS 42 LC to 72 LC) for voyaging, and custom yachts up to 80 feet. Vacuum infusion, optional carbon, designs by Matteo Polli and Nauta Design.

Before you sign: a Grand Soleil compares with the best northern European yards at a more contained price, with a recognisable Italian style. The large models can be extensively customised, and that is where direct exchange with the yard makes the difference.
