Cantiere del Pardo Week 2026: a week of the sea
and a shared passion among Grand Soleil, Pardo, and VanDutch
CDP Week 2026 has come to a close in Porto Cervo, bringing together owners, enthusiasts and partners of Grand Soleil Yachts, Pardo Yachts and VanDutch Yachts for a week dedicated to life at sea, meaningful connections and a shared passion for boating.
At the heart of the event was the 24th edition of the Grand Soleil Cup, which returned to the official sporting calendar of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. A fleet of 21 yachts, ranging from 37 to 80 feet, took to the waters of the Costa Smeralda for two exciting days of racing, highlighting the international spirit of the Grand Soleil community and the growing presence of the Grand Soleil Plus range, including the participation of the new Grand Soleil Plus 80 Long Cruise.
Alongside the sailing action, the Pardo Yachts community gathered for the traditional Pardo Rendez-Vous. Owners and guests cruised together along the Costa Smeralda, departing from the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and sailing around Mortorio Island, enjoying a day defined by elegance, performance and the pleasure of sharing time on the water.
Throughout the event, VanDutch Yachts welcomed guests and visitors on board the VD75 for private visits and sea trials, offering the opportunity to experience the brand’s iconic design and distinctive identity firsthand.
Porto Cervo became an open-air showcase of the different worlds within Cantiere del Pardo, with sea trials, exclusive gatherings and shared experiences bringing the community together throughout the week.
A rich social programme also played a key role in making the event memorable. From the welcome cocktail to the gala dinner, each occasion created opportunities for owners, crews and guests to connect beyond the water. The SuperPop party brought energy and entertainment to the evenings, adding another special element to an already unforgettable week.
More than just an event, CDP Week continues to be a unique opportunity to bring together an international community and celebrate the values shared across all Cantiere del Pardo brands: a passion for the sea, excellence in design and craftsmanship, and the pleasure of creating authentic experiences on the water.
