YACHTS & YACHTING 51
“ We’ ve drawn inspiration from automotive design to create the Gladius 499GT’ s elegant yet commanding lines,” said the head of exterior design at Sturge & Toth, Benjamin Julian Toth.“ The yacht’ s bow exudes power and grace, much like an explorer vessel cutting through the waves, while the overall design focuses on sharp contours to ensure optimal efficiency as it glides across the water.”
Gladius 499GT also features an open beach club,“ owner’ s hideout”, crow’ s nest and vast expanse of outdoor space, providing abundant natural light and stunning views. There’ s accommodation for eight guests.
Despite its maturity on the drawing board, there remains a broad degree of participation for an owner. As the design and engineering is progressed toward the final stages, conversations with selected shipyards are being had for the construction.
