CANADOS GLADIATOR 493

At 15.04 metres with a 4.25-metre beam, the Canados Gladiator 493 Grand Sport occupies a category that rarely exists — a fully capable sport yacht that refuses to choose between performance and accommodation. Triple Mercury V12 600 hp outboards are concealed beneath an aft sunpad structure, driving a deep-V triple-stepped GRP hull with a 21-degree transom deadrise to a top speed of 58 knots — a figure uncommon at this length. Carbon fibre is employed throughout the construction and interior, reducing displacement considerably versus comparable vessels while providing a material language that is visually consistent from deck fittings to helm to hardtop. Above deck, a Kevlar and carbon T-top with six fixed skylights shelters a full summer kitchen — twin refrigeration drawers, icemaker, Kenyon grill and sink — alongside a U-shaped cockpit lounge and a superyacht-grade wet bar. The helm station accommodates three across racing-style bolster seats with dual 17″ Garmin multifunction displays and full joystick control. Below, two private cabins finished entirely to custom specification accommodate four guests alongside a dedicated head and shower. The Gladiator 493 is the first vessel in its class to deliver this — and it does so without apology.
