Pardo Yachts debuted the new Pardo 43R at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show, marking the first outboard-driven version of its well-known 43-foot walkaround platform. Rather than adapting the existing hull, the builder developed a new running surface specifically for outboard propulsion, shifting the boat’s focus toward higher speeds and a more responsive ride.
Power options range from triple 400 hp Mercury V10s to triple Mercury V12 outboards delivering up to 600 hp each, with top speeds reported beyond 50 knots in the high-output configuration. The performance bump positions the 43R as a sportier counterpart to the inboard-powered Pardo 43.
The deck keeps the brand’s hallmark single-level walkaround layout, with a large sunpad and seating forward and a social cockpit aft built around opposing lounges and a convertible table. A redesigned transom integrates an engine well while preserving a tender garage, and a carbon-fiber T-top blends cleanly into the windshield.
Belowdecks, the 43R offers a bright, efficient arrangement with a forward V-berth that converts to a dinette, a midship twin-berth guest area, and a single head to starboard. Large hull windows bring in natural light, keeping the interiors simple and functional in keeping with Pardo’s understated design approach.
At just under 49 feet overall with a 13-foot-9-inch beam, the Pardo 43R preserves the proportions that made the original a category standout, while adding the speed and simplicity many owners seek from modern outboard power.
