Fantastic with the bed up forward, on the angle so there is room all around the bed, perfect.

[@Bottna]

Nice design of this yatch. Great weekender.

[@nicbennett6554]

Great tour Hugo given the restraints of the show. Thanks

[@hugoandreae3785]

Glad you enjoyed it

The new all weather pardo GT52 is a stylish looking boat Hugo I was very impressed with just how much they've got into this 52 footer it's a fantastic footprint for this speed machine

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks John

[@Nezzer57]

Beautiful boat Great tour Hugo, thanks👍

[@takeasail]

A good looking boat, for sure

[@PowerYacht]

Cantieri dell Pardo actually did flybridge motor cruisers from 1989 to 1996 with the Hudson & Ricci brand with two models designed by Fred Hudson hence the name, the 40 which was an American sportfish inspired flybridge cruiser and the 54 which was more Italian design Ferretti-Zuccon inspired. The first was successful 89 to 92 produced in about 35 units while four/five where made of the big unit 92 to 97. They had raving reviews and are still considered high quality sought used boats in the used boat market in Italy.

[@kopigelasplastik8186]

Beautiful 😍

[@gradyseasons8800]

What a fantastic boat: perfect

[@clifbradley]

Hugo is the man! Always working and filming alone. I wish I would have seen you at FLIBS but I didn't get a response on IG when I reached out to you. This is a nice boat, but I'm still maintaining my position that they're overpriced. I see a lot of megayachts and some superyachts with these as chase boats so obviously they are top quality with a reputation for maneuverability, fit and finish and the ability to customize. They're infamous for working with yacht owners to make sure they get what they want. I get the pricing inline with other brands, but there are cheaper options that do some or a lot of things better, they just don't have that name.

[@HarryShagnasty-sc9zd]

Name them please!

[@sodunkwales7361]

Lovely boat that one

[@cookoutdoor881]

I was wondering how the “crew” would feel after going down to its cabin and see the hatch closing!!! 😢 😅

[@KALKIi108]

[@WAJK2030]

Thank you for presenting this nice yacht concept. As pointed out by someone else, if configured as a live on, there would be some changes needed, speaking as an architect. I am also certain the builder would be open to something like that. Many people are not aware of this option.

[@e36mgmmcm]

Πολύ ωραία...

[@marcsmilen6565]

It's a very nice boat. Can anybody give some pros and cons between this boat and the Invictus TT460?

[@frankthere8063]

inspiring

[@gambanteinodal1246]

How will that black dog house top withstand the sun? Will it be hot in the cockpit?

[@CVO_MAN]

I really like it. The most stylish is the Riva Dolceriva.

[@alanoconnor007]

Nice package for the money

[@sophiedolman2230]

Really cool boat Hugo, lots of little interesting bits. Unlike you, who despite being cool, looked a little warm on this tour. You need a cold beer under that shade ! X

[@hugoandreae3785]

It was a tad warm at the time!

[@haitkhuu]

G'day mate, Great review! Any chance you know what the boat on the right hand side is? Cheers

[@HarryShagnasty-sc9zd]

Pardo 60 Endurance

[@christianisekin1215]

It's funny how the number of people you can get seated around tables on yachts always gets exaggerated. When you talk about 6 people, I see 3-4 people sitting there comfortably.

[@maxjohnson1758]

Well. Mebbe it's 6 Europeans, 3-4 Americans... . 😆

[@jacobfinder7476]

Agree

[@1975reispedro1]

​@maxjohnson1758 why all American are over weight big 😂😂😂😂

[@ProtechtedCanada]

No seakeeper or zero speed stabilization?

[@alandaly2879]

How much

[@ineedmy2]

I'm not particularly eager to make comments, especially negative ones, so I will ask this question instead. Does anyone think the layout of this boat makes the best use of its available space?

[@WAJK2030]

It’s a show boat, supposed to highlight available options. If you would live on it for, let’s say two weeks with 2+2, you definitely would change a lot. Solar on the roof (instead of the roof window), some water toy storage accessible from the transum, additional freezer + storage in the crew cabin + maybe a diving compressor. I’d also switch at least one backwards facing outdoor bench (next to the folding up windows) for a outdoor BBQ/Bar setup. You could also configure it for some posh fishing trips or as a mere party boat, for day trip rentals. Plenty of possibilities.

[@nasosnasos8054]

Price ?

[@garysimmons417]

It was mentioned it starts at 1 million excluding VAT.

[@marcsmilen6565]

Note to self:. Pardo GT 52:. THIRD CREW CABIN FOR ONE WITH LADDER ACCESS FROM COCKPIT. FULL KITCHEN BELOW WITH DISHWASHER.

[@marcsmilen6565]

Full headroom engine room with good access to pods

[@colinturner4158]

Comfortably four people a squeeze for six.

[@simonhealy4976]

Bring back Jack!

[@hugoandreae3785]

I’m afraid he no longer works for us 😢

[@Felias-xl8mj]

First !

[@kosminuskosminus6668]

Aint that funny that all stats are just thrown away with next to nothing meaning ? >>> whats the RANGE ?

[@Stidi84]

In crew cabin you can smell your own shit :D

[@WAJK2030]

Yeah that’s really odd, even if it would have a dedicated automated vent next to it

[@matthewmartin1970]

Hi Hugo I’m really struggling to watch your videos of late especially the last 2 I am getting motion sickness from your camera work. I don’t get it from any other similar videos I watch so I can only assume you’re using a new camera set up or there’s just too much motion for my brain to deal with. It’s a shame as I love your reviews but I can’t deal with feeling sick.

[@jjjones4469]

And bored no offence bring Jack back soooooo much difference I stopped watching and love it Don’t know where Jack has gone

[@hugoandreae3785]

I will try to slow the camera down in future. I’m afraid Jack no longer works for us 😢

[@matthewmartin1970]

@@hugoandreae3785 thanks Hugo, really appreciate it. Maybe using a gimbal would help?

[@origin178]

FWIW, I prefer Hugo's delivery any day! Jack always sounded puffed-out and irritable, like he wasn't enjoying it.

[@BBB-jn9zk]

why do you even have that dungeon of a crew cabin...dehumanizing i would not buy this boat just on that alone

[@tr5065]

Form over function. Poor.

[@chipdouglaschipdouglas]

You guys desperately need a film crew.

[@licence1001011]

THAT YACHT IS HOT 🔥 😍 , SPICEY EVEN !! HAULY SHIP!!

[@kokomo9764]

Not my kind of boat.

[@sleepingdog334]

05:07 -- what a poor design. How many scalp injuries will it take for them to realise ? Being thrown around in a rough sea and there are sharp door corners just waiting for the next 'full height' victim to lean into the next wave.. - Spoils what otherwise looks to be a very nice boat.

[@WAJK2030]

They are high up enough.

[@Diprotic]

man this dude is rude and classless he didn't say excuse me and just passed in the middle of a group of people then he's opening everything when it's clearly labelled to not open.
