Pardo Yachts presents the Endurance 72, a remarkable new addition to its esteemed lineup, featuring a harmonious fusion of luxury and functionality designed for those seeking the ultimate in long-range cruising. Following its much-anticipated debut last summer, the Endurance 72 has now been unveiled in its entirety, spotlighting its captivating style and innovative engineering. This exceptional yacht served a prestigious role during the summer of 2025, acting as the hospitality vessel for the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team at the 37th America's Cup in Barcelona. Its striking silhouette, prominently featured alongside the Italian team, has sparked curiosity and excitement in yachting circles and amongst potential owners.
The Endurance 72 enhances the family lineage of Pardo Yachts with sophisticated aesthetics that beautifully echo the elegance of Italian craftsmanship. Emulating its acclaimed predecessor, the Endurance 60 – which is celebrated for its superior construction and meticulous attention to detail – the new model is purposefully designed for extended journeys at sea. The yacht features fold-down bulwarks, expansive windows, and sliding doors that create a seamless transition between interior and exterior spaces, allowing for a truly immersive experience. Tailored with discerning owners in mind, the Endurance 72 stands out as an exquisite option for those unwilling to compromise on style, comfort, efficiency, or reliability. An eco-speed regime enhances fuel efficiency, catering to environmentally conscious yacht enthusiasts.
The Endurance 72 showcases striking and unmistakable design lines, characterized by a reverse bow and a bold superstructure that underscores its contemporary silhouettes. The alternating hull windows create a sense of ongoing motion, while the innovative walkaround deck reflects Pardo's commitment to merging form with function.
Designed with elegance, comfort, and practicality in mind, the yacht's exterior features a variety of spacious areas that encourage both social gatherings and intimate moments. At the bow, a generous sunpad provides an idyllic spot for relaxation, whereas the stern offers guests a choice between an extraordinary suspended sunbed or an inviting alfresco dining area in the cockpit. When combined with fold-down bulwarks, the cockpit transforms into an impressive 40-square-meter terrace, a standout feature among vessels of this size.
Among the many attributes that set the Endurance 72 apart is its exceptional hull design, optimized for IPS propulsion which ensures superior maneuverability and safety while minimizing fuel consumption. The yacht features a "warped" hull designed with a gradually decreasing deadrise angle from bow to stern, enhancing stability in challenging sea conditions. Owners can opt for propulsion systems that include the standard dual Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1050 engines or the optional IPS 1350 configuration, both of which are designed for easy hybrid integration.
With eco-speed parameters defining the optimal cruising speed for balance between efficiency, comfort, and fuel economy, the Endurance 72 achieves notable results. Its IPS 1350 configuration allows a cruising speed of approximately 12 knots with a fuel consumption of just 80 liters per hour, granting an outstanding range of 900 nautical miles.
In collaboration with the renowned BURDISSOCAPPONI Yachts & Design studio, Pardo Yachts has reimagined the interior layout of the Endurance 72, creating a space where livability meets sophistication. The main deck boasts an aft-positioned galley that connects seamlessly with the cockpit and dining area. Below deck, owners and guests will find four en-suite cabins, a day head, and a crew cabin with a private entrance, ensuring privacy and comfort.
With expansive windows and sliding doors permeating the main deck, there is a constant flow of natural light, enhancing the cruising experience. The elegantly designed helm station is fitted with modern technology for ease of navigation, while features such as concealed air conditioning vents and layered lighting systems elevate onboard comfort.
The Pardo Endurance 72 is set to make its world premiere at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025, scheduled for March 19-23. This event marks a significant step for the yacht, showcasing Pardo Yachts' commitment to creating vessels that embody sophistication, performance, and eco-consciousness.
