Nothing has been Left aside during the Engineering phases of the Gladiator 961

Reaching speeds close to 50 knots with a 29,22-meter / 96’ luxury yacht is no easy task, especially when reliability is an essential factor. This is why nothing has been left aside during the engineering phases of the Gladiator 961.
The hull is made of E-Glass and Vinylester resin lamination using an infusion process while the deck and superstructure are made of vacuum-bagged carbon fiber. 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. The same philosophy has been applied to interior furniture, produced in-house, and made of lightweight cored material such as high-density polyurethane foam or composite and aluminum honeycomb. All cleats are made of titanium and forged carbon fiber.
The Gladiator 961 Speed is available with two different power packages, either twin MTU ® 16V 2000M96L delivering 2600 HP each or triple MAN ® V12- 2000 HP. In both cases, engines are coupled to Surface Drives equipped with Auto-Trim and Auto-Flaps computers allowing them to electronically reach, at a given speed, the best tabs and trim settings optimizing fuel burn.

Interior designer was not assigned an easy task. He had to comply with a strict road book and specification to remain in the acceptable weights and balance of the masses and at the same time was asked to fulfill all clients' wishes in terms of décor. But make no mistake, the interior décor and style are left to your decision.
The Gladiator 961 Speed interiors are modern, fresh, and elegant. The décor was to be welcoming, easy to maintain, and timeless. It was to be original, and high quality but not ostentatious. The comfort of kids and guests was essential.
For the main deck, Gatto opted for a mixture of natural materials such as white and taupe Premium Italian leather for the walls, lacquered wood for the ceilings, and linen for the sofas with decorative inserts in gun powder color while natural panels are made of satin blond ash wood.
The floor is made of premium synthetic teak decking to give the feeling of a natural extension of the aft deck inside. But again, all is left to the client’s choices. In opposition to the very natural colors and materials, the side cupboards are made of glossy carbon fiber to remind that the Gladiator 961 Speed, despite its luxury interiors, is first and foremost a piece of advanced engineering and technology. The lower deck is no different in terms of atmosphere except for the floors dressed in wood parquet and custom-made carpet as well as some walls dressed in custom-embossed leather created for Canados.

Our Engineers Prioritized Comfort and Ease off Moving Onboard

The aft deck offers a lounge area for 12 people with direct access to a wet bar with a grill, ice maker, and fridge. At night, two carbon fiber poles will be placed 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.

Helmsman is Seated in the Exact Center Line for a Better Feel of the Boat at High Speed

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 an oversized sofa with full-height side windows offering unobstructed views of the water and the mirror TV is recessed in the bar right across. Furthermore, the round dining table is separated from the wheelhouse by a floor-to-ceiling totem equipped with another mirror TV.
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-piece curved glass panel windshield.
The lower deck cabin access stairwell is located at the port of the wheelhouse while, to the starboard side, is the automatic side deck access door to the passageway. An independent stairwell aft leads to the Boffi ® galley, crew quarters for four, and engine room access.
Down below, the boat is offered with three cabins and a home cinema or four cabins. In both versions, the full beam master is at the center of the boat.
