New Model: Pardo Endurance 72

Pardo finally reveal the Endurance 72 in its entirety, following its secret cameo at the end of Summer 2024. The first Pardo Endurance 72 played a prestigious role this summer in Barcelona, as it served as the hospitality yacht for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli during the 37th America's Cup. Now the first Pardo Endurance 72 is completed and set to debut at the 2025 Palm Beach boat show coming March. An inhouse design for concept and exterior, with interiors by BurdissoCaponni, and naval architecture by Davide Leone, the Endurance 72 sports similar lines to the four meters smaller E60, a cross over yacht, which with the additional length looks sporty as it can. It is probably the sportier explorer cross-over yacht I know, and if you like car genre mirrors the Pardo Endurance 72 has a sporty SUV feel to it.  The Pardo Endurance 72 features a kitchen living dining on the main deck, and four cabins below layout.  The main deck has a stern galley to port side with opposite dinette, and a relaxing saloon forward to starboard, with helm station to port side.  This area has also a complete connection with the exterior area thanks to full sized floor to roof windows, with the one to starboard serving the dinette offering an unobstructed view on the water when the drop down balcony is lowered.  The guest lower deck cabin area is split in two separate areas, VIP and owners staterooms at midships with a dedicated staircase from midships and the two guest cabins forward.  A day head is also located half way in the stairs to the midships cabin area, serving guests daily duties.  The Endurance 72 offers spacious exterior spaces with the model even challenging Pardo's one meter larger more sporty GT75 flagship, with the jolly of a flybridge up top, this with an aft sun-pad, L-shaped dinette to port side with grill wet-bar opposite, and a dual seat helm station.  A unique feature as explorer spaces go is also the aft sun-pad on the main deck, which is something most cross-over explorer yachts do not have.  The Pardo Endurance 72 is powered by standard Volvo 800hp and or optional 1000hp, with a warped hull shape which decreases its deadrise aft in order to make slower cruising speed more comfortable and efficient.

Project: Sirena 60

Sirena Yachts has announced details of a new 60 project at the boot Düsseldorf 2025. The Turkish yacht builder unveiled the new Sirena 60 project, a replacement to the 58 with the promise of even more space for lounging, better storage and a stunning modern aesthetic. The new 60 carries all the distinctive features that have made Sirena such a global success, from flexible accommodation to fantastic exterior spaces, with the contemporary lines drawn by German Frers, the designer of all Sirena yachts thus far who brings the familiar plumb bow, long bathing platform and the contrast between large areas of dark glass and gleaming white topsides. But the 60 is a considerable evolution compared to the previous Sirena 58, which starts at the stern, where a new transom profile creates more space on the platform and gives it a more modern look. Rope storage lockers on either side of the newly modelled stern seat are bigger, and there are larger openings in the bulwarks for access to the dock. The main saloon windows are also bigger. Up at the bow, the foredeck lounge has been completely redesigned. Not only is it all bang on trend, with dark grey upholstery and a smart floating backrest, it features a much larger seat and a folding table. The matching sunpad also has a convertible backrest which allows it to serve as comfortable seating when you want to dine al fresco. Even the flybridge which is the Sirena 58’s most iconic features has been improved. The dashboard and the pilot seats have been redesigned to look more modern. A slick new Corian worktop has been introduced in the bar unit, and the sun-pad has also been endowed with a new convertible headrest. It all combines to make this shaded spot the pick of the yacht’s exterior social spaces. Smarter use of space has allowed the design team to devote more interior volume to key lifestyle features of the Sirena 60. Entering through the broad sliding aft doors, you will encounter the galley first of all, which has grown nearly 20 per cent in area to five square metres. This equates to bigger work surfaces and even better storage for food and crockery in new raised cabinets, with the option of a wine cooler being available. Further forward, the indoor helm station has also had a revamp, with a new ergonomic designed pilot seats hug your back for long hours of comfortable driving, while a smart pantograph door gives quick access out onto the side deck for more relaxed mooring manoeuvres. The stairs below have been remodelled to take up less space and improve access below. As with the Sirena 58 before it, the basic configuration remains for three large cabins. These include a breath taking full-beam master amidships and a spacious VIP double forward, as well as a more flexible third cabin. Here, a sliding bed system can transform from a generous double to twin singles, depending on whether it’s for children, friends or a couple. There’s also more storage space here and in the VIP cabin. Eliminating the rounded edges that characterised the walls of the previous model has also freed up more space. All three cabins have always been en-suite, but the new configuration has allowed designers to separate the heads from the shower areas. And the detailing has been given an uplift with new alcoves and niches in Corian. There’s even room for a washer-dryer below the companionway. Individually, each of these changes represents a small evolutionary step for Sirena, which taken together, they amount to nothing short of transformative. Construction on the Sirena 60 is well under way in Turkey, with hull and deck moulding complete and in outfitting stage, and the first unit expected to launch in July, for a World debut to come at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025.

In both line shafts and pods propulsion set up the Grand Banks 62 engines are mounted at midships. If adventures lead you farther over the horizon, the 62 can deliver a range up to 2,000 nautical miles with 10-percent reserve at ten knots. At twenty knots, total fuel burn will average 120 litres-per-hour representing market leading performance when compared to other similar sized explorer yachts, thanks to the running attitude of the V-Warp® Technology hull angle remains at about six degrees, keeping the maximum amount of waterline in the water for added efficiency and speed.  The Grand Banks 62 is to offer a three double guest cabins layout, with the owners stateroom being located in between the fore VIP suite and the three berth midships cabin.  The living is all located on the main deck with the Grand Banks 62 coming with an astern galley layout.  A 62 Skylounge version which encloses the helm up top, with an L-shaped dinette and a day head to starboard is also to be available.
