The verdict
Cantiere del Pardo Spa Grand Soleil 56 à Punta Ala and Della Pasqua & Carnevali Dc 10S à Punta Ala neck and neck
7,7 versus 7,7: the gap is too small to separate them on the overall rating. The choice comes down to the criteria that matter to you, below.
Choose Cantiere del Pardo Spa Grand Soleil 56 à Punta Ala if…
- you prioritise bateau & équipement (8,4 vs 7,6) : Grand Soleil 56 (2008) from Cantiere del Pardo, very well equipped: watermaker, air conditioning, 4 fridges, electric winches, electronics modernized in 2023-2024.
- you prioritise formule & accessibilité (6,7 vs 6,1) : License required and sailing without a skipper, with an optional skipper depending on the rental company; deposit, fuel and schedules are not specified.
Choose Della Pasqua & Carnevali Dc 10S à Punta Ala if…
- your budget matters: from €500 / day, the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: bateau & équipement (7,6). Shipyard and model named, 12 m and 660 hp, complete equipment (tender, autopilot, GPS, depth sounder, VHF, shower, awning, freezer). Built in 2007 with no maintenance described.

Tosco's word
The traveler rating of 9.2/10 across 26 reviews places the Della Pasqua & Carnevali Dc 10S in the top 13% of the catalog, and its mandatory skipper frees you from having to navigate: choose it if you want a turnkey 12 m motorboat, with tender, shower and freezer, to explore the Elba coast without worrying about handling the boat. The Cantiere del Pardo Spa Grand Soleil 56, on the other hand, is aimed at experienced crews who hold the license and want a well-equipped 16.9 m sailboat (watermaker, air conditioning, electric winches) for €700/day, accepting that they will steer without a skipper and that routes are not guaranteed. Both show the same overall rating of 7.7, but the first reassures with its average reliability and its skipper, while the second, with low reliability, demands more autonomy in exchange for better equipment.
