Founded in 1973, Grand Soleil Yachts has built a reputation as one of Italy’s most respected sailing yacht brands. Operating under the Cantiere del Pardo Group, the shipyard has remained focused on high-performance sailing while steadily refining comfort, build quality, and finish. From its base in Emilia-Romagna, Grand Soleil has delivered thousands of yachts to owners who value speed, control, and confidence under sail.

Engineering sits at the core of the brand’s identity. Grand Soleil works closely with proven naval architects to develop hulls that are responsive, balanced, and efficient across a wide range of conditions. Advanced fiberglass construction, structural grid systems, and optimized sail plans contribute to yachts that feel purposeful without becoming demanding. The emphasis is always on sailing performance that remains accessible.

Across its Performance, Long Cruise, and Plus lines, Grand Soleil offers a clear progression for owners with different priorities. Whether the goal is competitive sailing, fast passagemaking, or relaxed cruising with strong sailing DNA, each model reflects the same underlying philosophy. These are yachts designed to be sailed properly, enjoyed fully, and trusted over time.
