With the Grand Soleil 60 LC, the yacht builders from Cantiere del Pardo in Italy are expanding their blue-water orientated Long Cruise (LC) series upwards. The new model positions itself as the new flagship of the series up to 60 feet and thus also closes the gap to the Plus line from 65 feet and larger. Her world premiere is planned for the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.
The concept clearly follows the blue water orientation of the LC models: long ranges, comfortable living spaces and easy handling even with a small crew. Once again, a well-rehearsed team is responsible for the design and layout: the lines and interior come from the Nauta Design studio, while Matteo Polli is responsible for the construction and hull lines.
With or without tare bar
The sheer deck design is typical of the LC line. Halyards and sheets are led below deck, leaving the walkways free. This should benefit both safety and freedom of movement. The yacht is optionally available with a permanently integrated tarp bracket above the cockpit or in a version without a bracket. The latter has a sportier design and features, among other things, a fixed mainsheet point in the cockpit between the steering wheels.
The cockpit is ergonomically designed, with seats that are extended forwards and reach under the sprayhood. The two tables in the cockpit can be lowered and converted into sunbathing areas. A folding bathing platform at the stern increases the usable area in the harbour by around one metre. An inflatable dinghy with outboard motor can be stored transversely in the aft peak. The single rudder is pulled far under the boat for this purpose.
