The construction site: brand identity, construction method, positioning
An Italian manufacture focused on premium
Invictus Yacht guards the high end between sports day-boats and small cruisers, pointing on a combination of design, preparation and solid technique. The brand image rotates around refined finishes, proprietary color palettes and wide customization possibilities for materials and details. The GT line represents the heart of the offer: boats from the automotive piglio, with textured surfaces, wrapping glasses and calibrated volumes.
Production processes and quality criteria
Shock and blanket are born from high precision molds with composite lamination and use of fabrics reinforced at critical points (engine supports, seat bases, attacks T-Top). The polymerization cycles are controlled to ensure dimensional consistency and stability over time. The integration of plants is planned during pre-engineering, so as to reduce redundant paths and improve accessibility for maintenance. The brand's reputation has been consolidated on three axes: look badge, goodness of the structures and attention to the finishes.
Technical analysis: measures, naval architecture, materials and motor apparatus
Main dimensions and hull geometry
- Length outside everything (LOA): 11,40 m
- Maximum: 3,50 m
- Typical fishing: about 0.9–1.0 m (depending on loads and propulsion)
- Dry Dislocation: around 6.9 t
- Design category: EC
The hull is a variable deadrise planant with well-marked longitudinal skates that favor a quick entrance into the planata and keep the set contained in the cruise lines. The semi-rovised bow extends the length to the float and allows to obtain a more generous internal volume at the bow without compromising the angle of attack on the wave. The general baricentre is balanced between engine group, tanks and fittings, so as to limit the oscillations in beaking and maximize the exploitation of the available powers.
Materials and construction
The hull is made in fiberglass (GRP) with differentiated layers per zone; areas subject to load peaks receive multiaxial reinforcements and growing density nuclei. Cover and superstructure adopt solutions in sandwich with foam cores with low weight, improving stiffness and vibrational comfort. The interiors combine lightened panelling, lacquered finishes, open pore essences and hydro-repellent technical coatings. The cover hardware is in polished AISI 316, while the subsystems (pumps, valves, filters) are arranged in order to be inspected without invasive disassembly.
Engines, propulsion and transmission
The GT370 is generally proposed with double motorization inside outboard, typically V8 petrol 350–430 hp each, connected on foot duo-prop for an efficient push and stable traction in tight turns. Alternatively, they are expected diesel of equivalent power (around 320 hp per side), oriented to increase autonomy with specific lower consumption. The trim of the feet allows to optimize the arrangement depending on load and state of the sea. Available on request joystick automatic or automatic flap interceptors.
Measurable performance: speed, cruise, consumption and range of action
With the most generous petrol configuration, the maximum speed it reaches the 41–42 nodes, while the most natural working trends are between 26 and 30 knots, with reduced vibrational levels and perceived noise in line with the segment. Diesel versions touch peaks in the order of 38 knots and support a comfortable cruise on 24–26 nodes. With fuel capacity close to 1,000 liters and taking into account safety margins, the real autonomy for relaxed cruises can be around 140–190 miles, variable depending on loads, wind and wave profile.
Onboard systems: electronics, home automation, plants
- Navigation: multifunctional suite with cartography, autopilot and integration of motor data; dome radar and AIS available.
- Control systems: digital panel for lights, pumps and utilities; remote supervision via app where planned.
- Energy: smart charger, inverter/generator in option, service counter sized for ray supports.

External design, layout and architecture of the spaces: formal consistency and functionality
Stylistic signature and proportions
The aesthetic sign is clean and free of ornaments: sculpted flanks, winding windscreen, T-Top structural with fittings. The set communicates dynamism to a steady boat and reduces turbulence at cruising speed, with also acoustic benefits. The surfaces are enhanced by metallic paints that enhance radius changes and volume modeling.
Cover: circulation and livability
- Prua with large sunbathing and continuous tientibene for safe transfers.
- Boat centre with protected bridge, adjustable seats and side corridors well sized.
- Pozzetto transformable: dinette to U, telescopic table, wet-bar with grill, glacier and sink.
- ♪ with bathing platform (also hydraulic) and foldable side that creates a terrace on the water.
Layout
Interiors: organization, materials, comfort
Undercover, the GT370 optimizes the prodier section with a convertible dinette in a double bunk; a separate room can be set up with a double bed or two singles. The bathroom is full volume, equipped with a dedicated shower and appropriate storage rooms. Indirect lighting, exposed essences and technical coatings create a warm but practical environment, thought for extended weekends without feeling of “small boat”.
Innovation and research: efficiency, stabilization, safety
Hydrodynamic efficiency and resistance reduction
The skate system and the distribution of volumes are calibrated to limit the trim to increase speed, containing the wet area and, consequently, resistance. The transmission duo-prop ensures higher performance than average regimes and linear acceleration, especially with charging boat. The masses are centralized to reduce inertia and improve the wave step.
Passive and active stabilization
The boat was born with good natural control of the roll, but can accommodate interceptors and, on request, compact gyroscopic stabilizers to improve livability during prolonged stops in shady or unordered sea transfers. The effect of these solutions is perceived especially with family crews and unexperienced guests.
Security: prevention and control
- Segmented plant layout with dedicated protections for the main utilities.
- Fire system in engine compartment and gas sensors in sensitive areas.
- Integrated instrumentation with warnings engine and alarm levels in console.
Life on board: ergonomics on the road and quality of the stay
Driving and human-machine interface
The dashboard favours readability: double multifunction display, integrated engine instrumentation, reduced diameter steering wheel and adjustable seats with thigh support. Anti-reflective surfaces and display orientation help reduce glare; the shaped windscreen generates a channeled air flow that limits turbulence on pilot and copilot.
Weekender for couples and families
In crocieristica optics, the set of refrigerators, wet-bar, large bathroom and storage premises allows to comfortably support two or three days independently with crew of 2–4 people. The air conditioning and multi-zone audio system elevate the quality of the stay on board, while the modular shading covers the bow and well without weighing the line.
Functional details
- Local engines with logical access to filters, sea grips and control points.
- Drained and coated boots to avoid stagnations.
- Continuous passers with well-placed tientibenes for secure movements.
Sea behaviour: wave response, manoeuvrability, acoustic comfort
In the presence of a short wave, the hull of the GT370 dilutes the impacts thanks to a penetrating bow and a balance of volumes that avoids unpacking. Between 22 and 28 knots the boat maintains a natural setting without resorting to important corrections. The turn is progressive: the support remains clean, the grip of counter-rotating propellers avoids traction losses and the bow follows the trajectory with precision. Over the long period, acoustic comfort in the dash remains on pleasant values, thanks to insulating of the motor compartment and well-sized antivibrant joints.
Market and competition: price range, direct rivals, trends

Technical depth: systems integration, acoustics and maintenance
Electronic integration and edge network
The onboard network aggregates the main systems on digital back, allowing for immediate diagnostics and custom configurations of data pages. The reading of engine parameters and tank levels is shown on the main displays, reducing the analog instrumentation and simplifying the driving experience. Firmware updates and calibrations can be managed in the workshop with reduced times thanks to the cabling arrangement.
Insulation and comfort vibroacous
The isolation of the engine compartment adopts sound absorbent panels with laminated density and elastic joints dimensioned to attenuate harmonics of low frequency. The effect is perceived mainly on a cruise, where the conversation on the bridge remains easy without having to raise the tone. The choice of internal materials, combined with the absence of resonance in the main bulkheads, contributes to a perception of solidity.
Maintenance and accessibility
A key criterion of the project is access to inspection parties. Filters, sea sockets, pumps and purging points are reachable without complex processing; the channeling of the cabling follows protected and identified paths, reducing the time on site. The covered hardware and treadmills provide drainage to avoid stagnations in case of precipitation or intensive washing.

In the open sea: scenarios for use and management
Suggested ranges and settings
Full load with full crew and galley, the most profitable gait in terms of consumption and comfort is located between 25 and 27 knots with slight positive correction at the feet. In the presence of formed wave, it is advisable to anticipate the correction of trim to keep the bow lighter without exceeding the threshold of “excessive spray”. Use of flap or interceptors automatic reduces the need for manual interventions, making the boat easier even for non-professional crews.
Mooring and management in port
With joystick, bow propellers stern (where installed) and good foot grip duo-prop, the unit is maneuvered in tight spaces without difficulty. The visibility from the bridge is favorable thanks to the pillars of the T-Top backwards and the design of the windshield; the man turns for bitte control and peaks benefit from wide and continuous loops.
