The interior
Design
The reference in luxury, performance catamarans
Fast, technologically advanced, and elegantly designed, the Gunboat 68 is the culmination of over 15 years of development within the fleet. Incorporating the best of what has come before with experienced boatbuilding and valuable industry partnerships, the Gunboat 68 marked a step-change in the evolution of the brand.
Design Parameters: Driven by the heritage and trailblazing nature of Gunboat – to make no compromise on performance, luxury, equipment, and comfort on a platform conceived for safe, fast world-cruising. The stunning exterior lines exude speed. The luxurious interior delivers true comfort and refined style; Clean, modern, and purposeful design, at the same time with real luxury embodied in her every aspect. Systems were engineered to be accessible and require minimal maintenance.

Ultimately, evolutions in the new design merely enhance the core Gunboat DNA: practical, lightweight, high-performance, and ready to sail the globe.
