Crafted by Cantiere del Pardo using advanced manufacturing methods, the Grand Soleil 65 Long Cruise embodies performance, style, and innovation. Designed by Franco Corazza, entrepreneur, longtime racer and established champion with 12 Italian titles, 2 European titles and 1 world title under his belt, the yacht features a hull made by infusing epoxy-based vacuum vinyl-ester resin into biaxial fibreglass and unidirectional carbon fabrics for a light, rigid and robust structure. All construction and systems are tested thoroughly and certified for quality.
The Long Cruise version includes the saloon closer to the same level as the cockpit with a shorter staircase and a 270-degree panoramic view from inside that takes full advantage of the maximum beam. This version also offers more cruising characteristics than the Performance version while maintaining a fast and performance-optimised hull. The overall design and the material palettes connote a cool Italian style with interior styling that is sober and fresh, elegant and welcoming.
Grand Soleil 65, like any other yacht by Cantiere del Pardo, is designed to respect the marine environment in which it sails. The materials and construction methods implied have low environmental impact and a high degree of recyclability: the teak, for example, is sourced from a sustainable supply chain, the glass is laminated for better insulation, the composite lamination uses linen and eco resins, the paints are water-based and solar panels provide renewable green energy
Cantiere del Pardo and Nauta Design conceived and designed a well-designed deck and interior layout, maximizing space and meeting superyacht standards in terms of dimensions
