A Shared Italian Heritage
The partnership between Pardo Yachts and Luna Rossa stems from a shared dedication to excellence and a deep connection to Italian heritage.

It’s truly an icon for Italy.”
This Italian essence, a hallmark of both Cantiere del Pardo and Luna Rossa, has fueled their global success. As Marco Gugnoni, Yacht Designer at Cantiere del Pardo, highlights, “In Endurance 72 you can find all the spirit of Made in Italy. A unique ability to combine creative intelligence, manual skills, and technology. This is the source of all the excellences that made, and continues to make, our country great in the world.”
Innovation and Teamwork: The Cornerstones of Success
The America’s Cup is more than a sailing race—it’s a showcase of cutting-edge design, engineering, and collaboration. Max Sirena underscores the importance of continuous innovation: “You have to accept, as a mind attitude, that you can always improve and that, whatever you do, the next day you can do better.” This commitment to innovation mirrors the philosophy behind the Endurance 72, a yacht that blends technological sophistication with luxurious comfort.
For Cantiere del Pardo, the partnership with Luna Rossa is as much about teamwork as it is about design. “It’s also teamwork between us and Luna Rossa, them on the racing fields and us supporting them with all our enthusiasm and passion,” says Servidati. This shared dedication to excellence is what makes this partnership so strong.
