Simon

Four cabins on a 75-foot hull, where two or three is the usual count on the GT75: that is the case for Simon. Pardo delivered her in 2024, and the styling carries the same idea through every deck, a semi-open hardtop with a panoramic glass roof that keeps the helm and salon under cover while staying visually open to the water.

Build and provenance

Pardo builds the GT75 with a GRP hull and teak-finished decks, a monohull sports profile rather than a displacement cruiser. Simon left the yard in 2024, so a survey commissioned today finds a young boat rather than years of running repairs.

Layout and accommodation

Below deck, four cabins sleep eight guests. One of the four is a full-beam owner's suite, set to the width of the boat rather than tucked into a corner, and the interior leans on large windows and a light-toned finish that keeps the space feeling open rather than closed in.

Performance and engineering

Three Volvo Penta IPS 1350 pod drives give her a 22-knot cruise and a 37-knot top speed, enough pace to turn a lunch run into a quick one rather than a slow crossing. Stabilisers work both at anchor and underway, so the speed does not cost the evening's comfort once she is tied up.

On deck and at anchor

A beach club opens off the stern by way of a hydraulic swim platform, with sunpads and space for alfresco dining forward and aft. A sunroof, a wine cellar, a watermaker and her own generator round out the practical side, and a tender lives in a garage rather than lashed to the foredeck.

Where she lies and how to see her

Simon lies in Porto Cervo, Italy, ready to view. Boatcrowd sets up each viewing and is there for it, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial come next, before handover completes.
