Pardo meets Kevin Costner
Epic Journey Aboard the Pardo GT75
One of the first to step aboard and get a feel for the first Pardo GT75 was award-winning American actor Kevin Costner. Over four days Costner explored the Mediterranean, mirroring that of Ulysses, chasing history while living aboard this 75-foot luxury yacht. In an interview with Pardo Yachts the actor poetically reflected on his time aboard the Pardo GT75, the design and the gratitude for this opportunity. His words and experiences bring this yacht’s magic to life.
The Pardo GT75: Multiple Spaces, Endless Comfort
One of the most remarkable features of the Pardo GT75, according to Costner, is its adaptability and comfort. “What I like about this boat is that I don’t always observe from one area… there’s two or three places that are very comfortable for me to be.”
Whether in the sun or shaded on one of its three levels, the Pardo GT75 offers a unique luxury experience. “It’s like a beach on the water,” Costner remarked, describing how he could set up in various areas depending on his mood and the weather. With wide open spaces, it’s designed for ultimate relaxation while still taking in all the surrounding beauty.
A Journey Through Time: The History of These Waters
The experience became more than just a test of the yacht’s features—it became a journey through history for Costner. “I told my captain, ‘Take me through the history.’ Boats have been traveling here for thousands of years,” Costner said. The Mediterranean, with its rich heritage, stirred his imagination, bringing to life the ancient voyages of figures like Ulysses.
Gratitude and Reflection: A Personal Connection
As his journey came to a close, Costner took a moment to reflect on how special the experience was for him. “I’ve been treated so beautifully around the world… and this boat, for these few days, has given me something I never expected.” He shared his gratitude for the company and the team behind the Pardo GT75, who made it possible for him to experience this voyage.
For Costner the Pardo GT75 had opened up new opportunities for exploration, “I don’t think I deserve this, but it really means something, and I’ll tell my children about these four days.”
The Pardo GT75: A Masterpiece of Design and Innovation
With Costner’s reflections in mind, it’s clear that the Pardo GT75 is more than just a yacht—it’s a vessel built for those who crave both luxury and adventure.
