Pardo 50

Onboard the Pardo 50

The Pardo 50 is built around open space rather than enclosed cabins, and it shows the moment you step aboard. The walkaround deck lets guests move freely from bow to stern without ducking through a saloon, and the cockpit is arranged for al-fresco dining rather than formal indoor seating — a boat that keeps everyone outside, in the air, for most of the charter. Below deck, two cabins offer a practical retreat for changing, resting, or a short overnight stop, though the yacht is designed first as a day and sport-cruising platform. At 16 metres and licensed for 12 guests, it carries a group comfortably without feeling like a large-vessel operation.

Cruising at around 36 knots gives the Pardo 50 real range within a single charter day out of Mallorca. It suits a fast run along the east coast — Porto Cristo toward Cala Mondragó and on to Cala Pi — where the speed turns what would be a long passage on a slower boat into an easy half-day of cala-hopping, with time left to anchor, swim, and eat on board before the return leg. It works just as well for a shorter Bay of Palma outing, departing in the afternoon and using the speed to reach Illetes or Portopetro with plenty of daylight in hand rather than rushing the crossing.

This is a yacht for guests who want pace and openness over volume — couples wanting a fast, private day on the water, small groups planning an active cala-hopping route, or a corporate booking built around an al-fresco lunch rather than a formal onboard meeting. The two cabins make it viable for an overnight if the itinerary calls for it, but its natural use is the well-planned single day: a clear route, a couple of anchorages, and a boat quick enough to make the most of the hours available. Bookings from Mallorca can be arranged around the season and the specific stretch of coast the client wants to see, with the route shaped to suit the group size and the day's conditions.
