Not every unforgettable day begins with a plan.
Sometimes, it begins with a simple decision to leave the shore behind.
Based between Corsica and Sardinia, the Pardo 50 "Michou" has been created for those who believe that the Mediterranean is best experienced with complete freedom. A secluded cove discovered by chance. A leisurely lunch overlooking the white cliffs of Bonifacio. A swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Lavezzi Islands. An unplanned detour to La Maddalena simply because the sea invites you there.
At 16.25 metres, the Pardo 50 combines the unmistakable elegance of Italian design with the versatility of her signature Walkaround layout, offering generous outdoor living spaces and effortless comfort for day charters as well as short Mediterranean escapes.
Departing from Ajaccio, Bonifacio or Porto-Vecchio, every cruise is shaped around your wishes, the weather and the recommendations of your skipper. There is no fixed schedule. No prescribed route. Only the freedom to enjoy the Mediterranean exactly as you choose.
Because the finest days are not measured by the places you visit.
They are remembered for the way they made you feel.

The most beautiful yachts are never designed to attract attention.
They are designed to make every moment on board feel completely natural.
The Pardo 50 "Michou" embodies everything that defines the identity of Pardo Yachts: contemporary Italian design, perfectly balanced proportions and a constant connection with the sea.
Faithful to the brand's signature Walkaround philosophy, every space flows naturally into the next. From the foredeck to the cockpit, from the cockpit to the swim platform, movement on board feels instinctive, creating an exceptional sense of openness and freedom.
Her clean lines, sculpted profile and elegant T-Top express a vision of yachting where luxury is never measured by excess, but by the intelligence of every detail. Nothing feels unnecessary. Nothing competes for attention. Everything has been designed with a clear purpose.
Perhaps that is what makes a Pardo instantly recognisable.
Not because it looks like every other yacht.
But because it never tries to.
On board Michou, design is never the centre of attention.
It quietly allows the Mediterranean to become exactly that.
Life aboard the Pardo 50 "Michou" is lived where the Mediterranean was always meant to be enjoyed: outdoors. Every space has been designed to make the most of the sunshine, the sea and the freedom to spend the day exactly as you choose.
The day begins on the foredeck, where the generous sunpads offer the perfect place to enjoy the morning light as Corsica slowly comes to life. A quiet coffee, the sound of the sea and the promise of an unforgettable day ahead.
As the hours unfold, life naturally moves to the cockpit. Gathered around the spacious teak table, long lunches become effortless, conversations continue long after the plates have been cleared and every stop feels as though there is nowhere else you would rather be.
Protected by the elegant T-Top with its electric bimini, this inviting outdoor living space offers welcome shade throughout the day, allowing every moment to be enjoyed in complete comfort.
At anchor, the hydraulic swim platform opens the yacht directly onto the sea. A spontaneous swim. A paddle along the coastline.
Snorkelling in crystal-clear water. Here, there is never any rush to move on.
The fully equipped outdoor galley completes the experience, making it easy to enjoy lunch overlooking Bonifacio, share local flavours with friends or simply open a chilled bottle before setting off towards the next bay.
The best days are rarely the busiest.
They're the ones you wish would never end.
After a day spent between hidden coves, turquoise waters and sunlit anchorages, the Pardo 50 "Michou" offers a welcoming retreat where comfort comes naturally and every detail has been designed to make life at sea feel effortless.
Designed to accommodate up to four guests on overnight cruises, the yacht features a beautifully appointed owner's cabin, a twin guest cabin and two bathrooms, providing privacy and comfort for weekends or short Mediterranean escapes.
Flooded with natural light, the interior reflects the understated elegance that defines Pardo Yachts. Clean lines, carefully selected materials and balanced proportions create a calm, contemporary atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting.
Air conditioning, a Fusion sound system and thoughtfully integrated amenities ensure the same level of comfort below deck as above, whether you're escaping the midday heat, preparing for the evening ahead or simply enjoying a quiet moment at anchor.
On board Michou, the interior is never intended to compete with the sea.
It simply makes every return on board feel as enjoyable as the moment you stepped outside.
The finest onboard amenities are often the ones you hardly notice.
Chosen to enhance comfort, simplify life on board and make every moment at sea feel effortless, each feature has been carefully selected to support the experience rather than define it.
Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch at anchor, cooling off after a swim or setting off for your next destination, everything on board has been designed to let you focus on what matters most: enjoying the Mediterranean.
Outstanding performance should never feel demanding.
It should simply make every journey smoother, quieter and more enjoyable.
The Pardo 50 "Michou" combines dynamic performance with exceptional comfort, delivering a cruising experience that feels refined in every condition. Whether crossing the Strait of Bonifacio or exploring the coastline between Corsica and Sardinia, every passage is smooth, precise and reassuring.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 800 engines, she cruises comfortably at around 27 knots and reaches a top speed of approximately 35 knots. Responsive handling and excellent manoeuvrability allow guests to move effortlessly between the Mediterranean's most beautiful anchorages.
The Volvo Dynamic Positioning System, together with advanced navigation technology, enhances precision during manoeuvres while ensuring a relaxed and seamless experience on board.
On board Michou, performance is never about speed alone.
It is about the confidence to cruise further, the freedom to change your plans and the refinement to enjoy every moment along the way.
There are few places in the Mediterranean where every hour can feel like a different journey.
Southern Corsica and Northern Sardinia are among them.
On board the Pardo 50 "Michou", the sea never asks you to choose between spectacular landscapes and effortless cruising. The white limestone cliffs of Bonifacio, the crystal-clear waters of the Lavezzi Islands, the untouched anchorages of the La Maddalena Archipelago and the timeless charm of the Costa Smeralda all lie within easy reach, allowing the day to unfold naturally.
Perhaps that's what makes this part of the Mediterranean so extraordinary. Plans rarely remain plans. A quiet bay becomes the perfect place for lunch. One swim turns into another. A recommendation from your skipper leads to an anchorage you had never heard of. Before you realise it, the day has taken on a rhythm entirely of its own.
With her performance, comfort and perfectly balanced dimensions, the Pardo 50 gives you something increasingly rare: the freedom to enjoy every stop without ever watching the clock or calculating the distance to the next destination.
Every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted with Santarelli Marine and your skipper, adapting to the weather, the sea and, above all, to whatever feels right that day.
Because between Corsica and Sardinia, the greatest luxury isn't reaching every destination.
It's never feeling that you have to.
Some of the best moments of the day begin once you leave the yacht.
At anchor, the Pardo 50 "Michou" invites you to experience the sea beyond the yacht itself. Her tender, powered by a quiet electric outboard, makes it easy to reach secluded beaches, explore hidden coves or step ashore to discover charming coastal villages.
For those who prefer to stay close to the water, the paddleboard offers a peaceful way to explore sheltered bays, while the snorkelling equipment reveals the vibrant underwater world of the Lavezzi Islands and the La Maddalena Archipelago, home to some of the Mediterranean's most spectacular crystal-clear waters.
Sometimes, the most memorable part of the journey begins just a few metres from the yacht.
Yes.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, the Pardo 50 Michou is chartered with a professional skipper.
The skipper's fee is charged in addition to the charter rate. If desired, a hostess can also be arranged at an additional cost to provide an even more personalised onboard experience throughout your day or cruise.
The Pardo 50 Michou welcomes up to 11 guests for day charters and up to 4 guests for overnight cruises.
Her spacious Walkaround layout, generous outdoor living areas and comfortable accommodation make her perfectly suited to families, couples or groups of friends looking to enjoy the Mediterranean together.
Absolutely.
Every charter is entirely tailored around your wishes, the weather and your skipper's local knowledge. Whether you dream of hidden anchorages, waterfront restaurants, quiet afternoons at sea or discovering the most beautiful corners of Corsica and Sardinia, every day unfolds at your own pace.
Based in Corsica, Michou is ideally positioned to explore the spectacular coastline of Southern Corsica and Northern Sardinia, including Bonifacio, the Lavezzi Islands, the La Maddalena Archipelago, Porto-Vecchio and the Costa Smeralda.
The short cruising distances between these exceptional destinations allow every itinerary to remain wonderfully flexible.
Yes.
In fact, she was designed for exactly that. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, spending time with family or simply escaping for the day, the Pardo 50 offers one of the finest ways to experience the Mediterranean.
The charter season generally runs from May to October, with particularly beautiful conditions between June and September.
For the peak summer months of July and August, we recommend booking well in advance to secure your preferred dates.
Because the finest memories are rarely the ones you planned.
They are the lunch that lasted longer than expected, the bay you discovered by chance and the sunset you decided to enjoy from one last anchorage.
That is the spirit of Michou.
