Grand Soleil Yachts

The shipyard, a father figure to three brands

Where heart and passion are blended with technology and style: the best of Made in Italy. For 45 years Cantiere del Pardo has been one of the most prestigious and highly regarded shipyards producing stylish, high performance, quality and confortable yachts for three different yachting brands; Grand Soleil, Pardo and VanDutch.

More than 45 years of history

Since 1973, Cantiere del Pardo has produced more than 4.000 boats. It occupies a 40.000 square meters surface and is split into three macro-departments: millwork, using cutting-edge technologies and processes; carpentry, based on tradition and the manual skills of its work force; and assembly, where everything is put together carefully up to final testing. The shipyard started in 1973 with Grand Soleil, to follow Pardo in 2017 and now the acquisition of VanDutch in 2020.

It all began in 1973…

The shipyard started in 1973 with Grand Soleil, producing high quality sailing boats branded Grand Soleil. The first model ever was the Grand Soleil 34 Finot, then after this first success, many other models followed.
