Cantiere del Pardo is Official Supplier of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli for the 37th America's Cup: with its brands, Pardo Yachts and VanDutch Yachts, Cantiere del Pardo will be alongside Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli during the most prestigious and historic sailing event in the world, featuring two yachts: the brand new Pardo Endurance 72 and the VanDutch 48.

Gigi Servidati, President of Cantiere del Pardo, commented: "We are proud to once again support the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team, embracing the most important value of this collaboration: teamwork. We have combined our strengths to achieve a common goal, both on and off the racecourse. The Italian identity we share with Luna Rossa embodies an Italy that is admired and victorious. Our yachts reflect the spirit of Made in Italy—a unique blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and technological innovation, where attention to detail elevates style, elegance, and performance. For us, this challenge is already a victory: the world will see us standing alongside the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team, ready to pursue the Italian dream together."

The flagship of the Pardo Yachts Endurance range is destined for the guests of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team, offering them the opportunity to watch the races from the sea.

This 22-meter yacht, introduced at the Düsseldorf Boat Show in 2023 and recently launched, was delivered to the Catalan capital in early August. Born from a concept by Cantiere del Pardo, designed by Davide Leone Yacht Design - who handled the naval architecture - and Burdisso&Capponi Yachts&Design for the interiors, the Endurance 72 perfectly aligns with the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team's requirements for livability, comfort, sustainability, and exclusivity. The yacht boasts a hull optimized for IPS propulsion systems and an eco-speed system that enhances performance while reducing fuel consumption. Onboard, guests can enjoy spacious and refined social areas, both indoors and outdoors, including the fully equipped 27-square-meter flybridge, ideal for watching the races in maximum comfort, free from vibrations and noise.

The VanDutch 48 is also part of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli hospitality fleet and has been available to the Italian team since 2023. This high-performance luxury tender allows guests on board to experience the adrenaline of the competition in complete safety and comfort. The VanDutch 48, a 14.60-meter luxury vessel, features the unmistakable sporty lines by Mulder Design and powerful engines (2 x Volvo Penta -D11- 725 HP-Shaft Drive) that push it to over 35 knots. Its dimensions allow easy, safe navigation in any situation, while offering plenty of space for relaxation on deck and below deck.

Cantiere del Pardo, thanks to this partnership, reaffirming its leadership in design and quality in the nautical industry.
