€2.1 Million Yacht Tour : Pardo 52GT

[@MARKSHEA-rf3dz]

It won't always be sunny and bright when boating, so it's nice to see an occasional review in bad weather. The rainy conditions actually highlight how welcoming, bright and cozy the interior really is. I would thoroughly enjoy sitting and reading a good book, listening to the rain on the overhead glass roof. It's a cocktails and snacks kind of day!

[@jeremyevans9521]

Always nice to get a tour of the ship's brig! I really like this one, thanks for showing her to us.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@SilasMoleCatcher]

A seamless indoor-outdoor living experience with a spacious salon and galley opening up to the aft deck. What excellent interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces! Loving the electric bimini for shade, large windows for natural light, and those stylish Italian flourishes. So much more than an estuary skulking marina queen, this fine vessel will be the envy of your freinds and enemies alike.

[@rockzhard2009]

nifty little boat. i like the hidden compartments. would personally prefer darker colors in the wood and upholstery but over all not to bad. as always, thanks for the tour Nick, great job as always. cheers from teXas.

I love that little overflow (crew) cabin space!

Ciao from Italy 🇮🇹. Over priced by 500,000 + Nick, how on earth is this boat worth £2.1 million?

[@robinnautica9773]

Nick doesn't make the prices buddy. He just shows us them.

[@Gustavo-dh5dx]

Greetings from Melbourne. He didn't say that Nick sets the prices, but I agree that it is not worth it, in terms of finishes and materials compared to a similar Sunseeker or Riviera.

[@robinnautica9773]

Love the configuration of the lower deck. Very nice owner's suite and I love a downstairs atrium-like galley. Admittedly I'm nothing more than a keyboard yachter, so perhaps they aren't as practical as a galley nearer the socializing areas. And who doesn't love an onboard solitary confinement cell. 🙂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I think there are benefits to both and it comes down to personal preference.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, Intresting yacht it is this Pardo 52GT on first look a nice day boat or weekender but a longer stay is also possible thats great, The nice sakon below the galley is spaceious 2 cabins and 2 heads with a cozy one in the master there in the bow but that little snuck or over flow cabin under the settee great there wow Thanks Nick great Show to start of the weekend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@EdwardTilley]

Wow - I didn't see all of that boat coming; there is much more here than I expected to see at first look - from the aft view of the boat. They really need to make the overflow cabin accessible from the (flip-up) kitchen stairs I think - very doable safely with a bit of stairway re-engineering I should think. The emergency escape from a ladder solution doesn't work really. Thanks for pointing out the latches here. Yes, there is nothing worse (? - rephase) - Why two steps when one will latch very nicely.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Well done for doing the review in such bad weather!

[@theasiamtmgroup]

I'll refrain from polluting your comment section with any vulgarities, but that toilet, right by the bed, is ..... remarkable.

[@davidrichardson5163]

It's ideal for someone of the older generation who might need a sudden pee in the night!

[@seanogden927]

I like everything about this yacht, nice layout and flow to it. I would definitely go with the galley below option, I like the light wood as it makes everything look clean and bright. If it was possible I would have a washer drier in that secret cabin then you will not need for anything when out exploring for a couple of weeks. Great tour Nick thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's a good idea, would make a great utility room - could have a seperate freezer there too.

One of the first Pardo's I've been impressed with. I haven't been a fan of their exterior styling when they were everyone in the Med's chase boat. This has a nice layout, especially for the size. This is less dayboat and more actual weekender, extended holiday yacht

[@MinistryoAgriculture]

The contrast with the recent Aquastar 57 you treated us to couldn’t be greater. Granted that was a 2009 model but the space, capability and comfort at a third of the price highlights what fantastic value older Boats can be.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Agreed! I LIKE the lower profile on this one but the interior materials leave a bit to be desired for the price. The real money went into the mechanicals, which is no bad thing.

[@TorridDesign]

I couldn't agree more, this is beautiful, but over 2 million and not even fully equipped just makes a boat like the Aquastar look like an absolute bargain, especially when you consider that it's bigger and more outfitted to be a sea-going vessel.

[@lucyf9034]

Check his Versace tour. The price is insane. Other than some weird stuff anybody can change, it was crazy cheap.

Once inside you have to marvel at home roomy it all feels. Even the 'stowaway' room has it's facilities for late night use. Brilliant ! For 52' it looks like 70' inside and none of it useless. Thank you again Nick.

Brilliant first time yacht buyer with a small family. It certainly seems quite capable for two to four week cruises up and down the coast that can easily cross the channel for some awesome foreign adventures.

Great video as always! Went on a pardo at a boat show last winter. It looks flashy from afar but everything seemed cheap up close. I couldn't imagine getting a good return on price / quality. Just the fact there aren't two screens to have nav and engines up at the same time shows the short cuts taken.

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but Mr Burnham sir for the style of boat this has be designed for I think they've done a great job,but it wouldn't inspire me to go for a fly bridge yacht especially for the money. Nick just a quick comment on the Aquastar on Tuesdays episode as I wasn't able on the day thanks to KZbin again, she's definitely no show pony,a carthorse compared to a race horse but what a beautiful carthorse she is,I would have a long think on this one between your topical show pony brands if the opportunity to have either , regardless great tour on both as usual sir all the best from Cornwall 🤗👍🖖

[@MrPvause]

I do like this boat but that third cabin is awkward, even for storage. I'd probably suggest moving the fridge to be below the hob, lose a galley cupboard and have a decent access/normal door with joint use of the day heads, so more room in cabin without toilet and folding sink, then maybe a folding bunk or small double, converting to more accessible storage if needed. The engine room seemed enormous too. Could a proportion of it be used for accomodation instead? As always though, a fantastic tour Nick, thank you.

[@iAPX432]

I love this kitchen, simple, effective and on its own space, I like to prepare meals (and enjoy them too!), the owner's cabin is surprising, the ability to seat close to each other, a glass in hands, in an intimate space even if friends or family is onboard. As well as a big enough shower ;) It seems really well thought for outside social and recreative moments and inside intimate ones, that might also get recreative. And a kid would love to have its own secret cabin! Maybe with a communication system? A walkie talkie?

[@toolman4816]

Beautiful boat, it even looked like there was room for a Seakeeper next to the generator.

[@bobg1685]

Not a fan of Prison Cell cabins, but one can store a ton of supplies down there. Another enjoyable tour by the best host on YT.

[@sheumais63]

Nice, though I might be inclined to have the galley up top and improve access for the third cabin. Two screens at the helm would be preferable too.

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Was about to suggest this too

[@chrilliB123]

Perfect pleasure craft with living capabilities. I like the galley down layout. Some time ago I thought the aft version was better. But this way the connection between the inside and outside living areas is less disrupted. The hidden area is useful but without the toilet. Unfortunately, the weather doesn't fulfill your presentation. But we'll take it as it is, because it was outstanding as always.

My grandmother always said: "The best impression of a house, a boat or a car is when the weather is bad." Well, after watching the video, I can only agree! What a nice yacht! Light, bright and summer vibe on board! I could get used to sharing my life with this boat :-) Thanks agian as always, Nick!

[@markshutt1476]

Since it's mostly a day boat, with really nice accommodations, the galley down makes so much more sense then having a tiny galley up and lounge area down. I'm thinking the hidden cabin would be best used as utility space, vice pretending to be cabin. Put a water maker and Seakeeper down there, still room for storage. I much prefer yacht over dayboat, but really do like this, perfect for long weekend or week away.

[@chrisbmorningstar]

A great little boat there. Love the flooring. Galley downstairs is the way I would have it. Gives you more living space upstairs then. I wouldn't say no to owning one. I noticed that isn't an auto pilot, is it possible to have one fitted ?. Come to think of it can an auto pilot be fitted to any boat. So could you have one added to Smugglers Blues if you wanted to .

I can see this working in the med maybe, or the states, but not here in the UK, at this price there's a lot of competition, brands like Princess, Sunseeker and Fairline to name but three, each with craft far more suited to our weather.

[@charlesvanacore7459]

Excellent tour as always. Nice craft, Could use some serious rails, must be a style issue or an optional extra?

[@marting4042]

That layout is really clever. I wonder if you could fit another overflow cabin in the galley space if the galley is on the main deck and also is the secret space accessed from that lower sofa area if the galley isn’t there? The engine room size was surprising - bit of a TARDIS this boat. Great tour Nick (as usual) 👍🏻

The drawer around the sink is genius . .

[@vicariouswitness]

I just thought of a new design! Washing machine / dryer (single unit) could be integrated as a seat in the day head or master head. I would do a separate toilet room on 1 side of the master and on the other side a shower room, and in that shower room the washer dryer would have a cushion to make a seat for the shower. And never a crew cabin on such a small boat, just expand the luxury for the owner and their guests (who wants to sleep beside the toilet 😮.

[@wickiss]

"That was elegant, wasn't it" Couldn't see a thing, so we will take your word for it Nick. What a lovely "little" boat, perfect for the med.
