«Cantiere del Pardo is an Italian excellence that in 50 years has built thousands of boats, both sailing and motor boats, and has contributed to the development of our country's boatbuilding industry and its diffusion in the world», said Max Sirena, Team Director and Skipper of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli. «We are happy to continue this collaboration also for the 37th America's Cup, knowing that we can count on a reliable partner in line with the team's values».

The VanDutch48 is a high-performance 14.60 m luxury tender, already at the disposal of the Italian team at the Cagliari base, which will be used mainly for quick transfers from the dock to the racecourse, to let guests experience the adrenaline of the competition in safety and comfort.

On the other hand, the Pardo Endurance 72, the flagship of the line of the same name, is a brand-new boat that will take to the water in spring 2024 and will then be delivered to the team in Barcelona in August. With her 22 meters length, she will be destined for hospitality, being perfectly in line with Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team’s requirements in terms of habitability, comfort, sustainability and exclusivity.
