The Dutch yard has fitted three 5.7-litre V10 Mercury Verado engines, each producing 400 hp, delivering a top speed of 55 knots (more than 100 km/h). The new hardtop provides generous shade and can be optionally equipped with integrated solar panels. In the cockpit, a redesigned helm console featuring two Garmin displays ensures intuitive control, complemented by a wet bar with sink, refrigerator, and ample storage. The familiar joystick docking system with Skyhook digital anchor remains available, as does the optional side door for easy boarding.

The distinctive reverse bow remains a defining hallmark, while the interior impresses with natural light, refined materials, and a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Two versatile cabin layouts – either with a fixed double bed or a convertible lounge – offer remarkable comfort within a compact footprint. Every detail, from the surfaces to the spatial design, strikes a balance between functionality and style. With more than 300 units of the original model delivered worldwide, the new Pardo 43 continues to stand as an icon of timeless design and confident performance in the high-end day cruiser segment.
