Superior sailing on a world cruising platform designed to take you on the adventure of your dreams! The fifth Gunboat 68 in the fleet, Gunboat 68 BreakFree launched in 2022, integrates the latest developments for the highest level of refinement. Upon completion of the first owners’ sabbatical family cruising plans, this is a unique opportunity to take the helm of BreakFree in better than new condition – turnkey, fully equipped and optimized with extensive upgrades for world cruising.

Speed, comfort and style. Break Free is optimized with enhanced living spaces for an exceptional lifestyle at sea. The hull layout features a total of four VIP staterooms with ensuite heads, and separate quarters for crew. Upgrades include a forward cockpit lounge, an extended galley with wine fridge, upsized beds, an office and school desk spaces below, and additional storage throughout. House systems include full air conditioning, a generator and electronics upgrades configured to sustain family life aboard in full comfort on global adventures. Enviable performance characteristics provide stability, sea kindly motion, and control, such as the ability to eat miles and reach more destinations!

A true work of art. At first sight BreakFree invokes the head-turning, jaw-dropping reactions famously enjoyed by Gunboat owners. Her sleek lines are enhanced by a lustrous, metallic teal green paint that reflects various moods against the conditions of the sea and sky.

Proven and fine-tuned, BreakFree recently completed her first around the world adventure, continually maintained by a professional captain and the Gunboat after sales care team over the course of two years. She is entrusted with Gunboat Brokerage and located at our headquarters in La Grande-Motte, France to deliver the highest level of quality, knowledge and support to her next owners.

Gunboat began in 2002 with the vision to design and build fast comfortable, family-friendly cruising catamarans that utilized the latest in race boat technology. At that time, most cruising catamarans were comfortable but clearly not great performers. On the other side of the spectrum, the performance world had embraced multihulls with one world record after another falling to maxi racing catamarans.

Through 20 years of head-turning designs, enviable cruising speeds, and regatta podiums, Gunboat set the bar and continues to raise it, applying innovation and proven technologies to the desires of performance sailing and the bluewater cruising lifestyle – blasting the boundaries of mutual exclusivity between the two. It turns out you can have it both ways.

Since 2016, Gunboat operations have benefited from a high level of industry knowledge, build expertise and sound financial backing under the ownership of Grand Large Yachting. Clients receive the best of both worlds: the efficiency gained by the process-driven culture and scale of a recognized industry player, and the boutique craftsmanship of high-tech, semi-custom yacht building. Each Gunboat is unique and celebrated by the Gunboat team.

The quality is tangible. Gunboat 68 BreakFree was built by our experienced, dedicated team working in top facilities.
