- The Gunboat 68 is one of the fastest catamarans around.
Its carbon from top to bottom and ready to race if you want to.

Due to complaints from Gunboat i had to remove the price and specs from the video.
They don't seem to like any price being written anywhere, for whatever reason...... I searched multiple boat selling websites and none of the gunboats listed had price on them. Weird considering that price is one of the top criteria for choosing future boat......
@@Dana-koc after the poor business practices and hearing what happened to the 55s and their owner's they are probably paying close attention to what people are saying. I personally would love to own vai vai. Beautiful boat.
@@Dana-koc its around 7million$
@@dxtrsinned2455 well, I better start saving up 💵💵
@Dxtr Sinned, nope ! It’s arownd 5 mill USD
Very intelligently designed boat. The layout of the cabins in the hulls was very good.
What a beautiful piece of art. Well done guys!
The only cat out there with a proper helm station. Wish more builders would ditch the stupid fly-bridge nonsense and put the helm inside like Gunboat. Fantastic cat!!
You see the new balance 526. It has a swing down helm. So you can sit hi in nice weather. Or swing it down and hide behind the windows. Neat feature☺
@@timh1187 - It's a decent compromise, but I'd still rather have the helm where the Gunboat has it. Getting rid of the fly bridge/cocktail lounge BS they usually put on the roof lowers the center of effort of the sailplan, giving the boat a better performance profile and requiring less mast height. From my experience, people who want fly bridges don't actually sail, they sit at dock and throw parties to show off their toy. Being stuck out in awful weather whilst having to helm the boat is one of the worst things about sailing for most who actually sail. IMHO, Gunboat did what everyone else should have been doing for years. It's not that hard. It's just that most catamarans don't actually go anywhere, so people want a fly bridge for more guests while at dock.
@Meadmaker 452, those catamarans with flybridge are island hopping charter pontoons. They’re not designed for the serious cruising around the world with passages in excess of 3000 nautical miles before seeing any land on the horizon. Charter market creates the greatest demand for pleasure vessels of all kinds and most manufacturers are aiming towards that particular market. Very few live-aboard cruisers buy brand new boats and most end up buying project used boats which were previously commissioned for charter.
Gunboat cats’ are aimed towards the “I don’t care what the cost is, just give me the fastest cat out there to impress my friends” kind of folks, not towards the “Joe the plumber” who wants to quit his job and go cruising in a sailboat. No working stiff will ever be able to afford even a 20 year old Gunboat cat let alone one of these new Gb-68’s !
Put it this way; there are 7+ billion of us on this earth and only two a$$holes own a Gunboat-68 and most that could afford to waste $8.5 million on a floating chunk of carbon fiber with spartan accommodations are not interested in the least about it. That’s why Gunboat will go bankrupt again very soon. They’ve only built two (2) of these boats so far and it looks like it’s the end of the line. HH catamarans are every bit as high performance as the G’boats are and come at less than half of the price of the same size G’boat and most who like the french built boats will settle for the Outremer at 1/3 the cost of the G’boat and a bit less performance.
In the case of this 68 footer you pay about $4 million for the 100% carbonfiber build and another $4.5 million for the “Gunboat” name. Even most filthy rich a$$holes are not that stupid to waste that kind of dough on a frigging name !!!
i agreed , it is scary driving the boast near the edge . do you know the boast is sail drive of shaft drive ?
This is what people want? Great video, thanks for showing.
Ditto re. previous comment, purchasing a ticket today. This is the 21st century dream cruiser / exploration dive boat ...
If my investments work out I’m having one.....I just bought four lottery tickets😁
Hahaha same for me mate !!
These things are a dream, ramp up your investment/financial gainz plans ;)
Wish you luck.
Buy xrp while u can. You will definitely be able to buy this cat then.😊😊😊
@@ivanb7160 ah you're on the XRP boat, maybe we at Nash Exchange will list it one day but Ripple staff dump so much (100M/month??). At least staking $NEX brings dividends for later use on the GunBoat !
@@particleconfig.8935 If u have a mco account, state 500 mco, u can make 6% interest on staking xrp. Ive been enjoying the returns.
@@ivanb7160 I'm doing Nash Exchange staking dividends on trading commissions, they're on track wish me well haha. We got to push through !!
I love this channel so much!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Just beautiful design and layout.
This is not your typical performance cat. Gunboats are SuperCats, like a Pagani is to the autoworld, the *_(French made Grand Large Yachting)_* all carbon Gunboat 68 is to luxury performance yachting. Un très beau bateau...
you know the all the first gunboats that set the reputation for the company was built in south africa and not in france?
amazing boat
What's the handy cap # in racing?
Finally a helm that is protect, from the elements, every other cat has a fly bridge or on either side that has no full coverage from the weather, so if it pouring you're going to be drenched
Holy duck, are those black sail a solar panel?
Love this boat! How much solar is that?
Yes very nice, but as she is over 20meters length, do I need special qualifications to skipper her.
Love the video. I know that I can't afford to buy one, but it would have been nice to know by how much I couldn't afford one. Not your fault.
By the way, it's high speed, not high velocity. Speed is distance over time. Velocity is speed in a given direction. If you're sailing a direct course from A to B, two points that are 20 nautical miles apart south to north, and your speed is 20 kts, then your velocity is 20 kts northerly. If, however, you're sailing upwind at 20 kts and you have to tack, the distance you have to sail might be 40 nautical miles. Your speed is still 20 kts, but your velocity is 10 kts northerly.
Sailing is in a given direction. It doesn't matter how fast you go, its the velocity towards my destination that matters. Its the vector not the speed.
Cat from Gundabad, nazgul`s style! ;))
Does the cinematographer sail? Is this your channel?
I also like all the rooms are water tight Incase of damage
that is one small salon table for a cat this size
Super cool
PERFECT! 💯
This is a beautiful boat. If I was in the market for such a vessel I wonder if the "Function over Form" would be balanced enough. IE would I be happier with a little more comfort than speed. I Guess all boats are compromises
Check out Balance Catamarans. They're a great balance of performance and comfort and relatively affordable compared to Gunboat. The new Balance 442 is priced about the same as the new Seawind 1370, and arguably a better boat.
Curious, two mast configurations, one with 4 extra meters tall, with more square meters of sails = mote power to weight ratio. I wonder what are the differences in handling
alamos8 One is for just cruising and one is for professional racing.
The taller mast and longer daggerboards will have much better performance in light airs, but in moderate to high winds the performance will be roughly the same.
Maximilian van Vliet yeah, I used to just make up stuff on the internet to make myself sound smart for attention as well.
@@thehurricane218 Did you not get hugged enough as a child? I got the info straight from an interview with the COO of Gunboat. I assume he knows what he is talking about, since, well, he is the COO of Gunboat.
I f'ing love it
Now, just round the edges on the cabinetry a bit more to remove any sharp corners (safety) and you have a home run on your hands. #Gorgeous
I couldn't agree more. Why on earth would boat builders of monos and cats allow sharp corners on ANY boat is beyond comprehension......
That and add more storage
Not sure about their line management, if you're sailing in a lot of spray and have to open that front door, aren't you going to get a ton of spray in the Salon?
@@DWCmoose Timing ist key, lol
is sail drive or shaft drive ?
a close look at the galley would've been nice.
Ahoooo.....Vamps/Ramps/Boaz! Hey!
Used to think the Chris White designs and Gunboats with the forward sail handling area were the cats meow... Not so much now. I'm old, rather the Balance 526 versa helm... I know different boats but closer than you think.
All designs have pros and cons. The forward cockpit is interesting, but can't be great in foul weather. On the other hand, Chris White boats and Gunboats are probably fast enough to avoid some bad weather (along with modern weather routing).
The Balance boats seem like almost a perfect design. And they're not a lot slower than Gunboats.
I'm wondering how much fast can it go... Amazing boat⛵!
Very fast
At least 26knots,that I know of,that's from the owner of Dash,most probably more buy now ☺
Depends on the WIND!
Are those solar panels on the roof?
Yes. And in at least one case a Gunboat 60 owner has done a conversion to all electric propulsion with power coming from hydrogeneration (effectively letting the props act like little generating turbines when under sail) and the existing solar (and a generator for backup). Uses a BMW i3 battery pack under each of the beds in the stern cabins.
Just wondering how durable those solar panels are when you’re constantly furling and unfurling the sail...Would you have to go barefoot or with deck shoes 🤔
Those are pretty durable.
Ofcourse they are not made of stone, so a littlebit of care is needed when stepping on them.
As long as you dont hammer them every day they gonna hold up pretty long.
@@CatamaranChannel The solar cells literally are made of stone, but they're so thin that they're flexible. The plastic covering is probably as tough as a plastic window. Should be good for decades, even stepped on.
Just keep in mind that you have kept the find that you will tell us the price the boat at the end of the video !!!
Any problem with that at the editing video?
Due to complaints from Gunboat i had to remove the price and specs from the video.
What exactl was the complaint about revealing the price? Was is so insane that no one could take it seriously when revealed outside of a tiny sales room?
@@frankmignone2271 i know its a bit late to answer but i'll do it anywayz. Its not their policy and they would like to keep it between them and any potential customer.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Imagine equipping it with sailing wings 😀
👍
The 5 ( &6 ) cabin layout- You have to go through guest cabin to get to crew cabin ??????
Thats what I thought 🤔
Boat that size your gonna need 4 crew, so 3 cabins for owner and guests makes sense to me.
Can you single hand this beast?
No!
This beauty vs Lagoon flagship ? I'd rather this one ,this is fast and sexy like a supercar.
At least you can get a price from H&H and the new lighter version is going to rocket.
This vid received a thumbs up because of the yacht -- I would have preferred some basic commentary/description not just inane musack
what's the price ?
6.000.000 euro
Thanks for watching!
Catamaran Channel thank u, your welcome 😉
Gimme 😛
Hm I find the servants' quarters a bit too close to where the real people live.
this boat is right about the price of a ticket to bankruptcy.
gas stoves? really? Its achilles heel...
$7 million ? You have got to be kidding!
100k per linear is about right .
Gunboat uses a massive amount of carbon fiber instead of fiberglass in these boats, making them lighter, stronger and faster than pretty much anything else out there in their class. The materials are stupidly expensive, so they have to make up for it in the price tag. For those who want a big, comfy cat that can turn on the speed and pretty much smoke anything else sailing, this is what they buy. Comparatively speaking, a Lagoon of the same relative size (62' class) is almost the same amount of money with nowhere near the performance. In the end, if you're spending 7 digits on a boat, you have to think about what you're gonna use it for and buy something that suits your needs/interests.
@@meadmaker4525 THEY ARE STILL TO EXPENSIVE for what they deliver
@@meadmaker4525 and a Lagoon is like 3 million you idiot
What no one tells you about trading verses Lottery is if you lose £10,00 on the lottery It's gone end of but if you lose £10.00 on Trading you can lose everything you own including your house.
If your house is worth £10.....
Lets ignore that.
Get educated on trading and you might be able to win a house, in the long run. Yes, stupid people might lose all the money they have.
I would rather buy an Oyster 675 or 745, more boat for your money.
Great video and advice about day trading! wtf?
It can be you way to buy a boat.
@@CatamaranChannel or your way to go bankrupt...
@@vincent5 NO! Not if you take it serious. 100 of 1000' s of people earn money that way. And if they can, you, me anyone can. Way to many people think daytrading is easy, its not. And they just start trading without knowing what, when and how to trade. And i know, because im still learning. Even pro traders are learning almost every day. Get education first and see how it works before you start trading with real money and lose it all.
As soon as my cryptos go up!
They have been going up for months. Maybe invest a little more.
Looks like a caravan show, do you expect seafarers interested by this kind of vid'
What a bargain, NOT. Who on Earth buys these at that price?
People who have a lot of cash to splash, obviously not you.
@@FloydBromley Even then, the people that have and willing to pay extra 4 million for this over any other cat at this size will go with a power cat. Power cats push 30-40 knots, are less work and they will just waste the money on the fuel, because they have 4 million to waste on it.
MADE IN FRANCE ! 👍👍👍
bought out by a french company but not made there.
@@BillyReed68 Absolutely made in La Grande Motte, France ( in the Outremer shipyard )
@@antoinedescours2459 Yet another example of how an American company was bought by a foreigner who promptly claims everything done in America by Americans as their own. Some of you French are pathetic. Everything on that boat is American. The design, the molds, everything. To be more specific, North Carolina, USA. Gunboat is about as French as French Fries.
@@BillyReed68 Capitalism sucks sometimes I know, but hey as said your president "America will never be a socialist country", so stop whining. And by the way multihulls concept is polynesian, "french" fries are belgians, since Guillaume the conqueror 75 % of your vocabulary ("example"/"company"/"to claim"/"pathetic"/"boat"/"design"/"mold"/"north"/"specific"/"to fry") is french, and you're an uneducated yank
At least France still make decent products themselves. Plus the world respects your yellow vests for standing up and having some balls. Well done all round.
Shame USA is going down the toilet. A nation run by Deep State, too busy invading others nations or running drugs out of Afghanistan with their own military. What a farce nation USA is. Your dollar will soon collapse and you will have nothing left but division and civil war.
I need to contact you regarding a business opportunity !
I only invest in real estate.
I'm not looking for a new team.
Thanks for the offer.
No it’s an advertisement for a yacht related website and your needed . Cheers,
@@CatamaranChannel Tell me you invested with someone who doesn't bother to spell correctly!
Looks like plastic cabinetry veneer to me. Unbelievable on a 7-8 M $ boat.
$7 M. Overpriced.
This is the ONLY place I've seen a number for the price of this yacht.
Sail one for a week or two, then let me know how overpriced it is.
Ryan No one is bashing Gunboat on sailing quality! But still,nothing more than HH66 can do at half its price.
@@cruishon hh66 is definetly not half the price as the h55 is 3 million. H66 is probably more like 4-5 million, but definetly the better boat
What an impractical place to carry SCUBA tanks. Carry them across the entire vessel because you use them at the transom...nope..no damage will happen along the entire length of the boat....really?? AFT LOCKERS PEOPLE....long supply hose from the compressor in the forward lockers to aft tank locker is much cheaper than repairing damaged decks.
Having said....I do love Gunboat!
Garland Garrett Who says you have to dive off of the transom? Is there a law or something?
@@thehurricane218 no one, but while getting off the boat is easy anywhere, getting back on USUALLY happens at the transom mainly due to the very high freeboard and no boarding ladder. So your still carrying tanks un-necessarly across the entire deck.
Garland Garrett I have honestly never seen a gunboat with the tanks NOT in the front lockers. Have you ever actually looked at big cats before? There is no room in the back. Its full of engines and stuff.
You sound lazy, you cannot walk some tanks 40 feet? You need mommy to wipe your chin after she burps you as well? There there now here is a biddy. Do you want the biddy?
@@thehurricane218 while I get that the tanks are in the front lockers, they do not, and should not be. Carrying them over the decks isn't about being lazy it's about minimizing the potential for damage to decks by accidently dropping one. I have and do currently carry hundreds of tanks and use them everyday. I'm a 25+ year diving instructor and have 35+ years of diving experience with 12 years of commercial diving exp. as well. I don't think that those who know me would ever call me lazy or that I need my chin wiped. Certainly -thanks for your insightful comments. I'm just making an observation and trying to help out owners to prevent any damages. Many cats have an aft locker exactly for tanks.
Garland Garrett I don't care who you are or what you say you do or what people who you say you know you say.
I don't think I have ever seen ANY gunboats or other big sailing cats (except maybe the 90 foot) with enough room in the back for tanks. Its just not logically possible. You do understand logic, right? You cannot lug a tank or two 40 feet. You are lazy and stupid and don't understand cats much. We get it. Point noted.
You sound like you:
A) Are a lazy person who doesn't know what they are talking about
And
B) Someone needs his biddy.
Having a conversation with you is basically pointless. You think you know it all. But you really don't know much. Sad.
I have to be honest, there are many much cheaper boats I would prefer to this. The cockpit position makes no sense.
Six million.... People who can afford that can not have a clean conscience...
Gimmee a break. 6 mill is chump change for what passes for the upper class these days. 30 - 50 million starts to become significant, but a tick up or down of that magnitude is hardly life-altering. Have you ever priced out a new aircraft these days?
They have way more money than they know what to do with.
@@armslength2618 yep you said it best champ. If you dont have minimum of 30-40mil then your rich not wealthy.
Money is not what it used to be.
Invest correctly and you may be an owner one day. NOT in the stock market mind you, which is due a total collapse. I can't afford one either, but I aim for a yacht one day. Do your research and invest in things which will go up, as all else falls around you. In addition, there will be used bargains to be had. Be sure of that.
High velocity on a catamaran is the problem (safety). High velocity "on" the water instead of "in" the water like a monohull is just asking for trouble!
Ray Grant - You’re hinting at a disaster on the water, any proof behind your assertion?
@David miorgan - That light weight, that is mostly above the water, is what makes it unsafe compared to a monohull. For day sailing and fairly short sails, catamarans are fine for amateurs, but for the long haul, a monohull is the only way to go (safely)!
@David miorgan - Look up "damage from hurricane Irma" (damaged boats for sale) and you will see ruined catamarans stacked three deep in various harbors in the Caribbean!
Bullshit🤣🤣🤣 then why is a whole young family around the world in a catamaran when its not safe loser
The great thing about these catamarans is their inherent speed, this is the cruising spec and did 20 knots during one of it's first sails. You don't need to use all that performance of course, so you can put reefs in and safely sail in the low teens, with reefs in, on autopilot, where as on a monohull you would be pushing the boat to it's near limits to get close to those speeds.
