Designed by Marco Casali as a luxurious day-cruiser, the Canados Gladiator 428 (42′ 9″ LOA, 13′ 9″ beam) may be the smallest option from the custom Italian yard, but it has big-boat DNA. Clean, minimalist lines prevail with a single level extending from the swim platform to the cabin door. A carbon-fiber hardtop shades the extensive outdoor area, while inside, the cabin can be custom-designed. The standard electronics package includes a “crystal cockpit” integrated dashboard, which is a touchscreen that handles all boat systems. A highly flared bow ensures a dry ride, even when speeds reach their max—37 to 55 knots, depending on the power option chosen.
