GLADIUS, the 2022 98’ (30.12m) Ferretti, is an excellent example of a modern yacht comprising impressive alfresco areas, sumptuous accommodations and a stunning main salon built around fun and relaxation. She showcases sleek, clean lines on her exterior while her interior boasts contemporary furnishings. GLADIUS is fast, spacious, and beautiful, making her the perfect yacht for an entertainer to host family and friends while exploring the islands.
Guests can board the yacht via the aft deck or the swim platform. As they make their way to the main salon, they will pass through the uncluttered aft deck that features comfortable bench seating and a beautiful articulating teak table, oriented to maximize the views on either side and to the aft without obstruction. Just inside the large glass electric doors, Ferretti 1000’s interior showcases a large, open salon surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows with an L-shaped sofa, two leather director’s chairs and a coffee table. Built-in cabinets separate the dining area, which features a table with 10 Poltrona Frau leather dining chairs and a sliding side deck door to starboard. The area is designed to offer maximum light and visibility to the outside while dining comfortably inside. The elegant meals are created in the nearby galley which is situated forward to port and can be completely closed off or opened up with a powered custom partition. Forward to starboard, guests will find a companionway that provides access to the on-deck master stateroom, the lower guest accommodations downstairs, and the pilothouse upstairs.
GLADIUS sleeps up to 10 in five well-appointed staterooms. The master suite is impressively spacious and features a small seating area, walk-in closet and built-in cabinetry for storage. The en-suite bathroom has dual entrances and his-and-hers sinks between the private stall and shower. Further accommodations include two double berth cabins that can be converted into two single berths when required and two additional king berth cabins. Each stateroom has its own en-suite bathroom, plenty of storage,and the same elegant and modern finishes seen in the master. Below deck in the bow, GLADIUS can host up to five crewmembers in three cabins.
The raised pilothouse is accessed from the sliding door at the flybridge or the stairway on the main deck. The area is spacious with good storage and a raised dinette. GLADIUS’ flybridge is ideal for alfresco entertainment, dining, and lounging. The wet bar, flatscreen TV and teak dining table make this space perfect for enjoying the on-water life in style. The fiberglass hardtop has a powered sunroof with louvers that can be opened completely. Uniquely, guests can make their way along the additional walkaround decks on this level to access the bow club area. The space is a lounger’s dream with recessed sunpads and a built-in seating area that can be covered by a canopy when desired.
For water access and beach club relaxation, additional built-in lounging can be found by the swim platform on top of the powered tender garage door, adjacent to the submersible swim platform. The garage can hold a tender and a jet ski for exploring your newfound anchorage.
In all, GLADIUS is an amazing combination of features, space, and style. She can reach a maximum speed of 27 knots in complete comfort, benefitting from both fin and gyro stabilizers. And once you have reached your anchorage and switch on the zero-speed stabilization, it will be easy to enjoy her variety and quantity of spaces around the yacht.
