NEW GLADIATOR 961 SPEED Yacht for Sale

New GLADIATOR 961 SPEED - 50 knots

Reaching speeds in excess of 50 knots with a 29+ meter/96’ luxury yacht is not an easy task, especially when reliability is an essential factor.
The Gladiator 961 hull is made of E-Glass and Vinylester resin lamination using infusion process while deck and superstructure are made of vacuum bagged carbon fiber and all cabin floors are structural and made of vacuum bagged E-Glass with an Airex® coring to reduce weight, eliminate squeaking, increase rigidity and reduce noise underway.

The Gladiator 961 Speed is available with three different power packages with twin MAN® 2000 HP and propeller shafts for clients looking for speeds in the region of 35 knots, twin MTU® 16V 2000M96L delivering 2600 HP or triple MAN® V12 – 2000 HP for the most speed addicted clients.
In the last two cases, engines are coupled to JDM® Surface Drives equipped with JDM® Auto-Trim and Auto-Flaps computer allowing to electronically reach, at a given speed, the best tabs and trim settings optimizing fuel burn.

The large transom sun pad stores a 3,80-meter jet tender launched with a hidden crane. The aft deck offers a lounge area for 12 people with direct access to a wet bar with grill, ice maker and fridge. At night, two carbon fiber poles will take place at each aft corner of the sun pad to install a 1,60 x 2,80 m screen which will turn the entire aft deck into an outdoor cinema.

The foredeck comes with a lounge with two gigantic sofas and an ergonomic sun pad.
The fly-bridge, commonly called a sport-fly on such boat, is, here too, bare none the largest in the category and the only one offering true wind protection when underway.

For the Gladiator 961 Speed, we called for the talents of one of Italy’s top interior
designers, Cristiano Gatto. The main deck interior is designed with gigantic sofa and bar and a round dining table separated from the wheelhouse by a floor to ceiling
totem equipped with a mirror TV wall. The helmsman will be seated in the exact
center line for a better feel of the boat at high speed. Visibility from the wheelhouse
is considerably increased by the structureless single glass panel windshield.

The lower deck cabins access stairwell is located to port of the wheelhouse while an independent stairwell aft leads to the Boffi® galley,
crew quarters for four and engine room access.
The boat is offered either with three cabins and a home cinema or four cabins.
In the 4-Cabin version, the full beam master is at the center of the boat, two
twins on each side and the VIP at the bow.

Like all Canados built yachts, and as part of our standard, the Gladiator 961 speed
is entirely painted in Awlgrip® offering phenomenal gloss and depth.
