The 2016 Grand Soleil 58 is a premier luxury performance-cruiser crafted by the renowned Italian builder Cantiere del Pardo. Combining naval architecture by Felci Yacht Design and styling/interior work by Nauta Design, this 57.41-foot fractional sloop is celebrated for blending superyacht aesthetics, blue-water cruising comfort, and competitive racing capabilities. Rated under Category A (Ocean), making it safe for open-water and long-distance blue water passages. Built with an optimized GRP (fiberglass) composite structure, the hull features a wide stern, powerful waterlines, and low resistance to ensure high average speeds with minimal heel angles. One of its standout traits is the exceptionally wide, open-transom cockpit designed for ease of handling during shorthanded sailing while doubling as a spacious lounge area at anchor.
