Introducing the Grand Soleil BLUE: a sailing yacht that marries aesthetic purity with quiet innovation, crafted for those who view the journey as a form of art and remain unapologetically mindful of the world it explores. Born from the vision of Matteo Polli and Nauta Design, and brought to life by Cantiere del Pardo, this 65-footer marks the debut of a new line—fittingly named BLUE—dedicated to sustainable, long-range cruising. And while its ethos is rooted in responsibility, its allure is pure seduction.
Teak is FSC-certified, interior panels are crafted from recycledor recyclable materials, and finishes eschew unnecessary gloss in favor of honest, tactilesophistication.
The cockpit, spacious and smartly laid out, invites both conviviality and control. Twin helmsallow for excellent visibility, while the layout preserves an open social area that feels madefor long, salt-kissed lunches. The retractable tender garage is seamlessly integrated into thestern—function hiding elegantly in form.
Inside, the Grand Soleil BLUE feels like a penthouse built for passage-making. The layout isdesigned forextended voyages, offering a generous owner’s suite forward, two guest cabinsaft, and a dedicated crew area. Natural light floods in through hull and deck windows,drawing a continuous dialogue between interior and sea. There’s a quiet drama in thetextures—brushed oak, natural linens, unpolished bronze—that whispers instead of shouts.
Propulsion, of course, follows suit: the hybrid system marries diesel and electric with theoption of hydrogeneration under sail. Silent anchoring, low-emission cruising,and long-range autonomy aren’t simply technical specs here.
