Three engines, one purpose: speed that holds.
The standard twin MTU 16V2000 M96L pairing is only the entry point. Owners who want the full flagship experience step up to the triple MAN V12 configuration, three 2,000 horsepower engines mounted on surface drives with automatic trim and flap control, smoothing the ride as she climbs through the range. Cruise sits at 45 knots, with a 55 knot top end that few yachts near 30 metres can match. A 10,000 litre fuel capacity delivers a 400 nautical mile range, enough to make serious passages at speed rather than creeping toward a destination. The result is a hull that treats high speed as a cruising state, not a brief burst saved for calm water and an empty dock.
Her lines are drawn for speed, and she does not hide it.
Canados’s in-house design team has kept the profile low and purposeful, a long foredeck and a flybridge shaped for airflow as much as seating. Broad sun pads sit fore and aft, giving guests somewhere to stretch out whether she is running at speed or sitting at anchor. The flybridge itself carries generous C shaped seating and a second sun pad, turning the upper deck into a genuine second living space rather than an afterthought above the helm. Every surface reads as function first, from the low superstructure that keeps weight down to the open side decks that make moving around her easy even at a 7.1 metre beam.
Two cabins, four crew, and a master suite built like a private apartment.
The owner’s cabin carries a walk-in closet and a separate study area, with his and hers sinks in the ensuite, a configuration more associated with much larger yachts than a 29 metre hull. Up to eight guests travel in comfort, looked after by a crew of four who have their own dedicated spaces forward, keeping service discreet and the guest areas uncluttered. The main deck favours a galley down arrangement, freeing the saloon for seating and conversation rather than service traffic, a layout choice that suits owners who entertain as often as they travel at speed.
Life on board moves between three decks without a single awkward step.
The flybridge serves as the social deck by day, with its sun pads and wraparound seating catching the breeze at speed. The main deck saloon stays calm and open thanks to the galley down layout, while the foredeck sun pad offers a quieter spot away from the helm and the wake. Transom seating and a generous aft sun pad extend the living space right to the stern, so guests are never more than a few steps from open air, shade or a place to lie down. It is a deck plan built around movement, matching a yacht whose whole character is about covering distance quickly and comfortably.
At the top of the Gladiator range, the 961 Speed is Canados’s clearest performance statement.
Built in Italy at 29.3 metres LOA on a 7.1 metre beam, with a 1.5 metre draught, she is engineered entirely in house, from naval architecture to interior design. The standard twin MTU package suits owners who want flagship presence without the triple engine commitment, while the MAN V12 option unlocks her full 55 knot capability. A 400 nautical mile range at a 10,000 litre fuel load means she is built for genuine passages, not just marina showing off. For an owner who wants the fastest yacht in a 30 metre envelope, with the build quality and in-house engineering of an established Italian yard behind her, the Gladiator 961 Speed is hard to overlook.
