Gladius 499GT
Gladius 499GT is a striking 52-metre superyacht concept from British design studio Sturge & Toth, envisioned as a bold evolution of the crossover explorer.
With a volume just under 499 gross tons, she balances sleek, contemporary lines with the rugged capability of a long-range cruiser.
Designed for owners who seek adventure without compromising luxury, Gladius features a robust steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure. Her defining exterior includes crisp lines, full-height windows, and a versatile aft deck that transforms seamlessly between a helipad, tender storage, or open lounge space. Fold-out terraces and a beach club enhance the connection to the sea, while extensive glazing brings light deep into the interior spaces.
Accommodating up to 14 guests across six generous staterooms—including a full-beam master suite and four VIPs—Gladius offers a refined yet flexible layout ideal for both private cruising and charter. Designed with autonomy and comfort in mind, she also hosts up to nine crew members for impeccable onboard service.
Blending explorer functionality with sharp European design, Gladius 499GT represents a new era of purposeful luxury on the water.
