Pardo 38

The Great Lakes have seen an influx of European vessels in recent years. French and British dayboats and coupes are now a common sight in many lakeshore marinas.

To stand out from the crowd, look no further than the Pardo 38. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the Pardo’s Mediterranean influence is apparent inside and out.

With its reverse bow and clean lines, it appears almost minimalistic. A closer look reveals Pardo’s attention to quality, comfort and style. The Pardo 38 was made for entertaining. Guests can enjoy the large sunpad at the bow of its single-level, walkaround deck or drift back to the well-equipped galley with cooktop, sink and three cold storage spaces. Aft, a 6-person dinette also converts to a huge sunpad.

Below, the forward cabin is roomy and bright. Again, the clean, minimalist appearance hides luxurious touches like reading lamps and USB charging ports at the bedside. Just aft of the cabin steps and a roomy, full wet head, a half-height mid-cabin can comfortably sleep two adults or children.

As with many Italian products, luxury and performance go hand in hand. Pardo offers a variety of power options for the 38 including sterndrives, diesels and outboards.

“The Pardo 38’s seven different engine packages offer a range of performance options to satisfy all your needs,” says Spring Brook Marina Sales Associate Zach Man. “The standard gas Volvo V6 sterndrives deliver 35 knots, while the triple Mercury 400-hp outboards can push the 38 Pardo past 50 knots.”

One of the Pardo 38’s most interesting features is the anchor locker. With the push of a button, the anchor is deployed straight out of the stem while a hidden hull door slides up and out of the way.

The Pardo 38 packages performance, quality and luxury in a unique package that’s guaranteed to turn heads on the open water or at the dock.
