With a name like the Gladiator 493 you can’t help but expect big things from this new model by boutique Italian builder, Canados.

Think of this as an Italian take on a traditional American centre console recipe. Maybe not quite as practical as the stuff on the other side of the Atlantic but performance oriented and brimming with mouthwatering details.

Its triple-stepped hull is twinned with triple Mercury V12 600hp outboards for a top speed of 55 knots and it will cruise comfortably at 40 knots for a range of around 250nm.

On board, the aft deck is the main focus of the deck spaces with its sociable U-shaped seating, which converts to a sun pad, and a big wet bar with sink, grill and twin fridges. Right forward there is sun bathing space. The triple helm station is stylish and well designed with comfortable bolster helm seats finished in Ferrari leather and a driver focussed dash arrangement.

Below decks there is an open-plan double berth forward with a small double amidships, separate to the the main cabin. A spacious separate bathroom is shared between the two sleeping areas and opposite a useful dresser with storage ands a fridge.
