Speed meets Style

the new Grand soleil PLUS 80 PERFORMANCE

The new Grand Soleil Plus 80 Performance represents the sportier evolution of the flagship in the Grand Soleil Plus line, designed for owners who demand speed, elegance, and uncompromising comfort.

Developed by Cantiere del Pardo with naval architecture by Matteo Polli and design by Nauta Design, this 80-foot yacht delivers an exhilarating sailing experience without sacrificing liveability.

Building on the success of the Plus Line—dedicated to yachts over 60 feet and known for its tailor-made approach—the Grand Soleil Plus 80 Performance combines refined Italian design with advanced naval engineering, offering a truly personalized experience for discerning sailors.

Innovations and Exterior Design

With its reimagined lines and optimized hull, the Grand Soleil Plus 80 Performance sets a new benchmark in high-performance cruising. The stern has been reshaped to enhance hydrodynamics, while the sleeker profile—achieved by lowering the cabin top by 150mm—improves both aerodynamics and aesthetics. The cockpit layout has been carefully redesigned to balance sailing efficiency and guest comfort, with extended benches, large sunbathing areas, and the option of a forward bimini for ultimate relaxation. Below the waterline, a fixed keel with a 3.95m draft and an advanced deep rudder ensure precise handling, while twin rudders are available as an alternative configuration. Every detail, from deck ergonomics to hull geometry, has been conceived to offer both thrilling performance and effortless control.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Inside, the Grand Soleil Plus 80 Performance reflects a perfect harmony between luxury and practicality. The lowered saloon floor creates an expansive, light-filled interior with generous headroom, amplifying the sense of space and contemporary style. The layout features a forward owner’s suite and three double cabins, each with private bathrooms and shower boxes, ensuring the highest level of comfort for guests. The aft section houses the galley, navigation area, crew mess, and dedicated crew quarters with separate access, guaranteeing privacy and smooth onboard operations. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the interiors embody refined Italian elegance while staying true to the yacht’s sporty character, creating an onboard environment where performance and sophistication coexist seamlessly.
