The Canados Gladiator 493 is built to see the Gulf of Saint-Tropez the way it should be, from the deck of a genuine performance yacht. It blends the muscle of an American sportfisher with unmistakable Mediterranean flair, a deep-V stepped hull and twin Volvo Penta diesels giving cruising speeds north of thirty knots, so Pampelonne, the Baie des Canoubiers and the wild coves of Cap Taillat all fall within effortless reach.
The boat is arranged for fast, social days on the water. Generous deck spaces keep up to ten guests comfortable, whether spread across the sunbathing areas or gathered for lunch, and a cabin below offers shade and somewhere to change out of the sun. One crew member handles the running so the day stays light, and snorkelling gear is aboard for the clear water the gulf is known for.
What sets the Gladiator apart is that blend of pace and character. It covers distance with real ease, quick between the coast’s most beautiful spots, yet settles just as happily at anchor for a long afternoon in the sun. This is a boat with genuine personality, purposeful and stylish in equal measure.
For a group who want speed and Mediterranean style in a single day, the Gladiator 493 delivers the coast at its most exhilarating.
Point the bow along the coast and let the day open up.
