The Renowned Italian shipyard Baglietto has closed the year with a significant achievement: the sale of the second hull of its flagship T60 superyacht. This milestone follows the company’s recent celebrations for its 170th anniversary, a year that has solidified Baglietto’s legacy and its forward-thinking vision in the luxury yacht industry.
This cutting-edge vessel, designed by the acclaimed Francesco Paszkowski Design, features interiors co-curated by Margherita Casprini. The project was facilitated by the expert guidance of broker Manuele Thiella of Royal Yacht International (RYI), marking the third collaboration between Baglietto and RYI in under 12 months. The brokerage team will also oversee the yacht’s construction process, ensuring the build aligns with the owner’s vision and specifications.
A Year of Triumphs and Innovation for Baglietto
Reflecting on 2024's success, Fabio Ermetto, Baglietto’s Chief Commercial Officer, expressed profound pride in the company’s achievements.
"2024 has been a significant year for us, one we will never forget," Ermetto remarked. "The sale of this hull—the largest in our range—at the end of such a special year makes us even more proud. This model epitomizes our essence: a contemporary yacht that looks to the future without stepping away from tradition but paying tribute to it."
This sale cements Baglietto’s place at the forefront of innovation in the yachting world. As further proof of the T60’s appeal, construction has already commenced on the third hull of the T60 series, which is set to be available for sale in early 2028.
A Look Inside the T60: Redefining Luxury and Space
The T60 superyacht represents the pinnacle of Baglietto’s design philosophy, blending modern aesthetics with cutting-edge functionality. This vessel disrupts conventional onboard layouts with innovative solutions that seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor spaces and blur the lines between formal and informal settings.
Key Features of the T60:
- Beach Area with Sauna: A sophisticated beach lounge includes a pool, a bar, a conversation space, and a gym, creating a luxurious entry point for guests.
- Main Saloon and Dining Area: Designed as a single, open-flowing space, these areas incorporate glazed surfaces that can be fully opened, allowing for an unparalleled living experience on the water.
- Two-Level Living Space: A striking staircase connects the beach lounge to the main saloon, further enhancing the sense of space and connectivity.
- Harmonious Design: The yacht’s interiors balance contemporary elegance with tributes to timeless yachting traditions, offering comfort and grandeur.
Engineering Excellence: Performance Meets Efficiency
The T60 is powered by two CAT 3512 ACERT engines, delivering robust performance for long-range cruising. The yacht achieves a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 16, providing a seamless blend of power and efficiency. These capabilities ensure that the T60 is as suitable for leisurely coastal voyages as it is for longer adventures at sea.
Collaborative Success: The Baglietto and RYI Partnership
This deal underscores the successful partnership between Baglietto and Royal Yacht International. Broker Manuele Thiella’s expertise in representing the owner and supervising the construction process highlights the importance of collaboration in creating bespoke yachts that cater to individual needs. With three contracts signed in less than a year, the relationship between Baglietto and RYI exemplifies how strategic alliances can drive success in the luxury yacht market.
Looking Ahead: A Bright Future for Baglietto
With the sale of the second T60 hull and the third already under construction, Baglietto is poised to continue its upward trajectory. The company’s ability to balance innovation with tradition has resonated with discerning yacht owners, making the T60 a standout in the ultra-competitive luxury yacht sector.
The success of the T60 and other recent projects serves as a reminder of Baglietto’s enduring legacy. As the company celebrates 170 years of excellence, its commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and engineering ensures its position as a leader in the luxury yacht industry for years to come.
