Pardo 43

Onboard the Pardo 43

The Pardo 43 is built around an open, walkaround deck that lets guests move from bow to cockpit without stepping over lines or squeezing past helm seating — a layout that makes more sense with ten people aboard than with four. At close to 13.4 metres it carries a sport-yacht attitude: low freeboard, a planing hull, and a cruising speed near 39 knots that turns a coastal run into a fast afternoon out rather than a slow transfer. Two cabins below give the boat a base for changing or stowing gear, though this is a day-charter platform first, designed for movement rather than long hours in a saloon.

From a Marbella departure, the boat suits a shorter, livelier day: past Puerto Banús, along Bahía de Marbella, or west toward the calmer water off Estepona, with enough speed in reserve to cover distance without turning the outing into a passage. Ten guests is a practical ceiling here — it keeps the open deck usable rather than crowded, and fits a family wanting a swim stop close to shore or a small group who'd rather feel the boat move than sit still. Talk through timing and route with the team before booking so the day matches what the group actually wants from the water.
