Pardo 43

Onboard the Pardo 43

The Pardo 43 is designed around a walkaround deck, so there is no hard line between cockpit and bow — guests move freely from the sun pads at the stern to the forward seating without stepping over hardware or squeezing past a windscreen. At 13.4 metres she carries up to 10 guests comfortably on deck, with enough open space that a group can spread out rather than cluster around a single table. The layout suits a day spent moving between swimming, lounging and conversation, rather than one built around a fixed dining routine.

With a cruising speed of around 39 knots, the Pardo 43 covers ground quickly, which changes what's realistic in a single charter day out of Mallorca. A group leaving from a marina on the Bay of Palma can reach the east coast calas — Porto Cristo, Cala Mondragó, Cala Pi — and still have hours in the water before the return, where a slower vessel would spend most of the day in transit. The same speed works well for an evening run west toward Illetes, timed to be back at the marina as the light drops behind the Serra de Tramuntana.

This is a boat for groups who want the day itself, not the vessel, to be the focus — friends chartering together, families with older children comfortable moving around an open deck, or a small corporate group booking a few hours on the water rather than a formal event. The two cabins below give a place to change, stow bags or step out of the sun, useful on longer days rather than built for extended stays aboard. Bookings from Mallorca marinas typically run as single or half-day charters, sized to this yacht's range and guest capacity rather than multi-day cruising.
