The Grand Soleil 48 Performance is a high-performance cruising yacht designed by Marco Lostuzzi and built by Cantiere del Pardo, with production records indicating a build year of 2017.

- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced sailors seeking a fast, responsive vessel for coastal cruising and short offshore passages, particularly those who prioritize sailing performance over heavy bluewater comfort.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.01 and a displacement of 25353.0 lb, the boat offers moderate offshore capability, though its light displacement and performance-oriented hull form suggest it is better suited for protected waters than heavy ocean passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 46 and Beneteau First 47.7, as they share similar fractional rig configurations, beam-to-length ratios, and a focus on performance-oriented cruising from the same era.
