In a remarkable achievement for the renowned Italian yacht builder Baglietto, the fifth yacht in the T52 line, named DOPAMINE, was launched last weekend in La Spezia. This launch marks the fifth vessel Baglietto has introduced to the waters recently, underscoring the company's vigorous production pace and innovative design ethos.
DOPAMINE, hull number 10250, is the fourth T52 yacht designed with the sleek and modern aesthetic hallmark of Francesco Paszkowski Design. The exterior design of DOPAMINE continues the T52 line's trend of combining elegance with functionality. The yacht's interior, curated by Studio Vafiadis, offers a luxurious yet practical living space, ensuring comfort and style for all aboard.
Innovative Features of the T52 Line
One of the standout features of the T52 line, prominently showcased in DOPAMINE, is the open stern equipped with a beach club spanning three levels. This design element enhances the yacht's aesthetic appeal and offers a versatile space for leisure and relaxation. The large swimming pool, featuring an up/down floor mechanism, can be retracted to extend the deck space when not in use, a testament to the intelligent use of space and innovative design.
Another significant feature is the sun deck, measuring approximately 24 meters in length. This expansive area is unparalleled in the market for yachts of similar size and volume, reinforcing Baglietto's commitment to providing ample, luxurious outdoor spaces for its clients.
Baglietto, with its rich history and strong reputation, continues to lead in the construction of planing aluminum yachts and steel and aluminum semi-displacement megayachts. The company's yachts range from 35 to 65 meters in length, each embodying the high standards and craftsmanship synonymous with the Baglietto name.
Baglietto operates two main production sites: the headquarters in La Spezia and an additional site in Carrara. The La Spezia site covers approximately 35,000 square meters and has seen significant investments in recent years to modernize and expand its facilities. Three new sheds have been constructed to accommodate yachts up to 65 meters in length. Additionally, new fully-equipped quays have been developed to berth vessels up to 70 meters long. The site also boasts a 1,200-ton travel lift, the largest in Europe, enabling the haulage and launch of yachts up to 65 meters long.
The Carrara site, spread over two areas of 5,000 square meters each, focuses on constructing military crafts under the Baglietto Navy brand and some models of Betram Yachts, which joined the Baglietto Group in 2015. The second area in Carrara has four new sheds dedicated to building the DOM line and yachts up to 46 meters long.
Looking Ahead
The launch of DOPAMINE signifies the robust capabilities of Baglietto's production and the company's dedication to innovation and quality. Each new launch from Baglietto further cements its position as a leader in the luxury yacht industry, blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge design and technology.
As Baglietto continues to push the boundaries of yacht design and construction, the industry and enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate what this storied shipyard will unveil next. The successful launch of DOPAMINE and the other T52 models indicates that Baglietto is not just keeping pace with the industry but is, in many ways, setting the standard for luxury yacht building.
The introduction of DOPAMINE to the waters celebrates Baglietto's enduring legacy and innovative spirit. With its sophisticated design, advanced features, and exceptional craftsmanship, DOPAMINE represents the pinnacle of modern yachting luxury. As Baglietto continues to innovate and expand, the future of luxury yachting looks promising, with many more groundbreaking launches.
