Gunboat News: Comin' in Hot

Things are heating up and we're not just talking about the beginning of summer. News has been building at Gunboat!

From the Design Room

Expanding from the success of the 68, we're inviting a new wave of clients to step up to the Gunboat 80! Exhilarating sailing performance you could only dream of on 80-foot, fully loaded, blue-water cruising catamaran - and the most spacious and customizable Gunboat yet. M eet the 80. The first two build slots are reserved and under R&D as they develop their bespoke configurations. Contact us to explore your future sailing plans on the Gunboat 80.
