Grand Soleil GS80
About this yacht
The Grand Soleil GS80 represents a decisive evolution in performance cruising—a 24-meter sailing yacht where Italian craftsmanship meets uncompromising speed. Built by Cantiere del Pardo since 2018, this flagship bluewater cruiser combines the precision of Matteo Polli's naval architecture with Nauta Design's refined aesthetic vision, creating a yacht that excels both offshore and at the dock. This is a sailboat engineered for owners who refuse to choose between exhilaration and comfort. The GS80's redesigned hull geometry and lowered profile deliver enhanced hydrodynamics and aerodynamics, while the reimagined cockpit balances racing efficiency with generous lounging areas and optional forward bimini coverage. Below the waterline, a fixed keel with 3.95-meter draft and advanced deep rudder configuration ensure responsive handling in varied conditions, with twin rudder alternatives available for those seeking different performance characteristics. The exterior speaks to purpose—extended cockpit benches flow into substantial sunbathing areas, while every surface and fitting has been optimized for both competitive sailing and relaxed cruising. The lowered cabin top creates a sleeker profile without sacrificing interior volume, a testament to thoughtful design rather than compromise. Step below and the GS80 reveals its true versatility as a performance cruiser. The lowered saloon floor generates exceptional headroom and an airy, contemporary atmosphere flooded with natural light. Accommodating up to 12 guests across a forward owner's suite and three additional double cabins, each with private facilities and dedicated shower compartments, the layout prioritizes both privacy and comfort. The aft section houses a fully equipped galley, comprehensive navigation station, crew mess, and separate crew quarters with independent access—essential elements for extended bluewater passages or charter operations. This sailing yacht carries CE certification class A for open ocean navigation, confirming its capability as a true racer-cruiser built to venture beyond coastal waters. The GRP hull construction combines proven durability with modern performance standards, while the custom-tailored approach allows owners to specify details that align with their specific sailing ambitions. The Grand Soleil GS80 embodies decades of Italian boatbuilding tradition applied to contemporary performance sailing—a vessel where sporting character and refined living coexist without compromise, ready for both competitive passages and extended cruising adventures across any horizon.
