This 43ft Yacht Just Leveled Up – The New Pardo 43 Key Features

The Pardo 43 Has Been Completely Rebuilt. Here’s Every New Feature You Need to Know About

Launching onto the market in 2017, the Pardo 43 took the world by storm. Quickly becoming the most popular dayboat in its segment, it was celebrated for its walkaround yacht design, Italian flair, and effortless performance. Now, Pardo Yachts are proud to reveal the all-new Pardo 43, a complete redesign, not a facelift.

If you’re wondering what are the new features of the Pardo 43 (2025 model)? This walkthrough and blog will take you step by step through every upgrade. From the aft platform to the cabins, we’ll highlight the innovations that set the new 43ft yacht apart.

Refined Hull Design – Style Meets Engineering

The hull of the new Pardo 43 has been completely redefined, balancing Italian elegance with practical innovation. Its sharper sheerline and sleeker profile give the yacht a more dynamic, contemporary look, reinforcing its status as one of the best 43ft yachts on the market.

One of the smartest new details is the sculpted “swoosh line” integrated into the hull sides. More than just a stylish accent, this external ventilation system helps deflect engine noise away from the cockpit, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment for guests when cruising at speed.

This combination of refined aesthetics and subtle engineering improvements demonstrates the philosophy behind the Pardo 43 upgrades, every curve and feature has been considered to enhance both performance and lifestyle on board.

Aft Comfort – Hydraulic Platform and Sunbed

The aft of the new Pardo 43 is all about versatility. The hydraulic swim platform lowers into the water, creating an easy launch system for tenders or the perfect spot for a sunset swim. An extending luxury bathing ladder with built-in handholds makes access to the sea safer and more comfortable.

The sunpad above the garage has been expanded compared to the Gen 1, offering more space for lounging. The garage itself has been re-engineered: it is wider, deeper, and easier to access with a single-level connection to the platform plus a dedicated daily-access hatch for fenders and lines. These small but clever changes make the aft area both practical and luxurious.

Social Living – Cockpit, Wetbar and T-Top

Step forward into the cockpit, and the upgrades continue. The seating has been widened, the table folds and lowers to create a giant sunbed, and safety gates make the space more family-friendly.
At the heart of the cockpit is the new wetbar, now wider, taller, and longer, with options for an induction cooktop, barbecue, or additional refrigeration. This is paired with generous storage and premium finishes.

Above it all, the redesigned carbon T-Top is 30 percent larger than before, closer in size to the Pardo 50, and can be fitted with optional solar panels. Its wider support points create a more spacious feel while also providing shade that Australians will appreciate on hot summer days.

The Helm – Performance and Engines

The helm station is pure driver’s delight. A redesigned dashboard now houses three large Garmin screens, allowing you to monitor navigation, engine performance, and even lighting controls. The dynamic ambient lighting system lets you set the mood onboard with any colour.

So, how fast is the Pardo 43? Powered by twin Volvo IPS engines, the yacht can reach up to 37 knots. For thrill-seekers, the Pardo 43R outboard version is available with triple 400hp or 600hp Mercury engines, delivering speeds beyond 50 knots.

If you’re asking, is the Pardo 43 available in outboard (43R) version? Absolutely. The 43R is built on a dedicated hull designed to accommodate the extra power and space demands of triple outboards.

What is the fuel capacity and range of the Pardo 43? With enlarged tanks holding 1,300 litres of fuel and 400 litres of water, the yacht is optimised for longer cruises without compromise.

Walkaround Design – Side Decks and Bow

One of the hallmarks of the Pardo range has always been its walkaround layout, and on the new Pardo 43 this DNA is further refined. Wider decks, sturdier handrails, and reshaped GRP side steps make movement around the yacht safer and more intuitive, whether docking alongside or stepping onto a jetty.

Cleverly integrated side lockers provide enclosed storage for fenders or gear, keeping the decks tidy while remaining easy to access. This attention to detail enhances the functionality of the walkaround concept without compromising on style.

On deck, owners can choose premium teak or alternative finishes such as flexiteek, with multiple caulking colours to suit individual taste. This level of personalisation ensures the yacht feels as refined barefoot at anchor as it does pulling up at a marina.

The Bow – Space, Comfort and Shade

At the bow, the spacious sunpad with more comfortable cushions now incorporates a forward-facing bench for added versatility. The aft-facing seats have also been enlarged, providing more comfort and flexibility whether guests are dining, lounging, or enjoying the ride underway. The area can also be shaded with a carbon-pole sun awning that stretches back to the T-Top.

Beneath, the anchor system has been cleverly engineered: the anchor deploys from a concealed cowling at the tip of the reverse bow, preserving the clean lines of the yacht while offering effortless operation.

It’s details like these, discreet storage, ergonomic steps, premium decking, and hidden anchor engineering, that showcase what makes the Pardo 43 a walkaround yacht at the very highest level.

Interior Elegance – Cabins and Finishes

Step below deck, and the upgrades are immediately obvious. Enlarged hull windows flood the space with natural light, so you never feel cut off from the sea.

How many cabins does the Pardo 43 have? Two. The forward master is available in two layouts: a fixed berth or a flexible dinette that converts into a bed. A second guest cabin midships offers twin berths and can be enclosed for privacy.

What interior upgrades does the new Pardo 43 have? Premium finishes, indirect lighting, improved storage, and new options such as an electric cabin door and integrated TV. The bathroom has also been enlarged with a separate shower, making this one of the most comfortable setups in the best 43ft yacht category.
