Pardo 43

The Pardo 43 is built for movement rather than static lounging. Her walkaround deck lets you step from the bow sunpad to the cockpit without ducking through a cabin, and at a cruising speed of around 39 knots she covers stretches of Costa del Sol coastline quickly, turning what would be a long run on a slower boat into a short one.

From Puerto Banús, a run west toward Estepona brings you to a quieter stretch of coast than the marina's own beaches, with the snorkelling near Punta de la Chullera a common reason guests choose this direction. The Pardo 43 suits that kind of outing well: her open deck and pace make a half-day swim stop feel efficient rather than rushed.

With two cabins below and room for up to 10 guests on deck, the Pardo 43 fits a small group wanting a day on the water without the scale of a larger crewed yacht. Charters from Marbella on this boat generally run as day trips given her size and speed, and fuel use on a coastal run stays modest compared with a longer passage such as the Gibraltar Strait crossing further west — worth factoring in when weighing costs against a bigger vessel.
