Rent a Grand Soleil sailboat
The story of Cantiere del Pardo began in 1974 in the Italian city of Forli, in Emilia-Romagna, with the launch of the prestigious range of "Grand Soleil" sailboats. at that time, the manufacturer was already collaborating with a renowned architect, Jean-Marie Finot, to produce the Grand Soleil 34. The Italian shipyard then continued to surround itself with illustrious designers such as Bruce Farr, Germán Frers and Japec Jakopin, in order to design cruiser-racers that are highly appreciated for their modernity, their performance and their comfort. To date, more than 3200 Grand Soleil-labeled sailboats have been manufactured, the majority of which are enjoyed by yachtsmen sailing in the Mediterranean.The Grand Soleil rangesThe Grand Soleil shipyard currently offers sailing enthusiasts two product ranges. On the one hand, there is the Performance range, which includes 5 models including the Grand Soleil 39. These sailboats range from 11 to 16.35 meters in length and are distinguished by their wide wooden deck. Grand Soleil yacht charters are ideal for those who love space. The Performance range offers surprisingly spacious and bright cabins, as well as large fuel and water tanks. These yachts are unanimously popular with cruisers. In the Cruiser range, we find the Grand Soleil LC 46, which has been the subject of much discussion since its release. Presented for the first time at the Dusseldörf Boat Show in 2015, the Grand Soleil 46 Long Cruiser was designed by Nauta Design and manufactured by Marco Lostuzzi. This vessel heralds the beginning of a new, innovative range that aims to be easy to handle, as well as comfortable. With an emphasis on aesthetics, this new range offers a large interior volume and an innovative deck plan. Comfort and safety will be the watchwords during a coastal cruise on board the Grand Soleil LC 46.The older models lose none of their presence and their value compared to this innovative range. We cannot forget the Grand Soleil 34, which quickly became a benchmark in the history of European shipyards. A boat which, let's not forget, won all the Mediterranean regattas in the 70s. The Copa del Rey, Fastenet Race and Spi Ouest France round off its list of achievements. Among the older models, there is also the Grand Soleil 45 and the Grand Soleil 54, whose performance and top-of-the-range equipment quickly made them coveted in the category of modern cruising yachts.
