SAIL WITHOUT LIMITS

GRAND SOLEIL 60

The Grand Soleil 60 is Cantiere del Pardo's fullest expression of the bluewater cruiser. Flagship of the line and the largest yacht ever built in Forlì, she brings together Matteo Polli's naval architecture, Nauta Design's design work and more than fifty years of the shipyard's experience. Genuine autonomy, handling that stays effortless even with a reduced crew, interiors conceived as a true living room at sea. Generous tanks and extensive stowage push the limit further out, to where harbour becomes a choice rather than a necessity. A yacht built to cross oceans. And to be lived in, every single day.

Where the sea is handled with a single gesture

Matteo Polli's naval architecture brings racebred geometries to a 60-foot cruiser: a pronounced V-shaped bow for a soft ride through the waves, flat aft sections, reduced wetted surface. The hull is beamier than the category average, generating greater usable volume, increased form stability and a more liveable deck for the same length overall. A generously dimensioned keel and rudder ensure predictable, reassuring behaviour in all conditions, from the open sea to manoeuvring in harbour. The significantly aft-stepped mast opens up a larger foretriangle: a more generous jib, a proportionally smaller mainsail, a lower centre of effort, easier handling and preserved performance.

Main Deck

The cockpit is the true heart of life on board. The double-C configuration creates two independent areas with tables — fixed as standard, electrically lowering as an option — that convert into two full-size sunpads, with dining capacity for 8-10 guests. All lines run beneath the deck surface back to the helm station, where winches and controls fall within easy reach: the passage forward stays clear and unobstructed. The self-tacking jib with electric furler comes as standard; a staysail, electric Code 0 and gennaker complete the sail wardrobe. Aft, the fold-down swim platform with tender garage opens direct access to the water. A 60-footer conceived for long passages, and for short-handed sailing.

INTERIORS

Stepping below deck feels like entering a true living room at sea. The lounge occupies the widest side of the saloon, with deep sofas designed specifically for this model, facing a dining area for 7-8 guests. Warm-toned wood veneers converse with fabric-lined panelling — a signature of this project — while eight laminated mineral-glass hull portlights, unique within the range, flood the interior with natural light. Also below deck, forward of the dinette, the galley offers home-like proportions with a large Corian worktop and a full-height stainless steel refrigerator column of up to 307 litres: in the standard three-cabin layout it extends across the full beam, raising life on board to a new standard.

Rest is not a detail

The owner's cabin features a walkaround double bed accessible from both sides, with the headboard positioned amidships — the point of the boat least affected by motion. The private en-suite at the extreme bow, with a fully separate shower, and a comfortable sofa lend the suite an exclusive level of comfort, while wardrobes, drawers and dedicated compartments provide a stowage capacity rarely found on a 60-foot sailing yacht. The standard layout comprises three double cabins and three heads, all with separate shower stalls: the port aft cabin with 150 mm dual-density foam mattresses, the starboard one the most versatile on board, with two single berths or an optional double bed. An optional fourth cabin and the sail locker convertible into a crew cabin complete the offering.

Details that make the difference

Every detail of the Grand Soleil 60 answers a practical question: how to make life on board simpler. The twin helm stations offer complete visibility over the bow and all manoeuvres, while lines led beneath the deck surface and the recessed self-tacking jib track keep the passage clear and safe. The electric jib furler and carbon bowsprit make handling the headsails immediate; rod rigging with calibrated turnbuckles allows precise, repeatable tuning of the rig. The twin carbon bimini brings tailored shade to the guest cockpit and the forward relaxation area, and aft the fold-down swim platform with tender garage opens direct access to the water. At the console, Navico CZone digital switching integrated with the B&G ecosystem manages lighting, tanks, climate and power from a single interface, with intelligent fuel management that automatically selects the windward tank. Below, the numbers behind true bluewater autonomy: 1,140 litres of diesel, 900 of fresh water, a 150 l/h watermaker, battery banks of up to 1,040 Ah, a 12.5 kW generator and up to 880 W of solar power.
