Baglietto Shipyard continues its strong start to 2025 by launching the seventh hull in its acclaimed T52 series. On March 31st, the T52 No. 10259 took to the waters in La Spezia, marking the shipyard’s second launch of the year. Designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design, with interiors co-created by Margherita Casprini, this vessel exemplifies the core principles that have made the T52 line one of the most respected series in contemporary Italian yachtbuilding.
Representatives from Royal Yacht International, including Manuele Thiella and Tommaso Chiabra, attended the event on behalf of the yacht’s owner, underscoring the growing global interest in Baglietto’s unique design language and build quality.
A Design That Blends Elegance with Personality
At 52 meters in length, the T52 No. 10259 continues the tradition of the T52 series, characterized by its sleek, fluid lines and balanced proportions. This yacht carries a contemporary aesthetic with a timeless essence, something Baglietto has come to define over its history. The smooth, sculpted exterior silhouette reflects a harmonious blend of modernity and heritage — a hallmark of Paszkowski's design philosophy.
The T52 model has gained recognition not only for its looks but also for its innovative spatial design. In this newest hull, the hallmark open stern beach club remains a focal point — developed over three distinct levels and firmly established as a Baglietto signature. This area provides a true luxury-at-sea experience, connecting owners and guests with the ocean.
One of the standout features of this stern design is the adaptable pool with an up-and-down flooring system. When not used, the pool’s floor rises to flush with the rest of the deck, transforming it into an expansive, multifunctional space — a testament to the shipyard’s clever engineering and design efficiency.
Indoor-Outdoor Living Perfected
Baglietto continues to push the boundaries of onboard livability with the T52 No. 10259. On the upper deck, floor-to-ceiling windows envelop the lounge on three sides, offering panoramic views and natural light in a space that can function year-round, thanks to its flexible configuration.
This "al fresco" area includes a conversation zone and a dining setup, ideal for extended stays onboard in varying weather conditions. The seamless indoor-outdoor transition is central to the yacht’s design and highlights the shipyard’s attention to lifestyle and usability in real cruising environments.
A Sun Deck Without Rival
Another feature that cements this yacht’s uniqueness is its expansive sun deck, stretching approximately 24 meters — an extraordinary dimension for a yacht of this size class. This space redefines outdoor living, offering flexibility for lounging, sunbathing, or social events, and reflects the influence of Baglietto’s displacement yacht heritage.
A distinctive retractable staircase at the bow connects the sun deck directly with a bimini-covered area forward of the wheelhouse. This architectural flourish is visually striking and functionally enhances circulation between decks, giving guests more options for movement and relaxation.
Engineering Excellence and Onboard Performance
The T52 No. 10259 is powered by twin Caterpillar C32 engines, delivering a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. These specifications support comfortable and efficient long-range cruising, making the vessel ideal for extended itineraries across the Mediterranean or further afield.
While performance remains essential, Baglietto prioritizes onboard silence, stability, and energy efficiency — areas where the shipyard has earned accolades for delivering refined engineering in compact superyacht formats.
A Year of Growth and Momentum
“This is a truly extraordinary figure for a shipyard like ours,” said Baglietto’s Chief Commercial Officer Fabio Ermetto, referring to the company’s goal of launching seven yachts in 2025. “We always eagerly look forward to a new launch, and this year, we will be savouring this special moment an impressive seven times.”
Such momentum reflects a clear shift in the market, where discerning owners seek out more personalized, design-forward vessels with strong craftsmanship foundations. Baglietto, long regarded as a boutique builder with a strong identity, is responding with agility and innovation, expanding its portfolio while staying true to its roots in quality and individuality.
With the launch of the T52 No. 10259, Baglietto reinforces its role at the forefront of Italian yacht building. The vessel combines contemporary elegance, smart design solutions, and enhanced outdoor living to offer a compelling package for modern yacht owners. As Baglietto looks to launch five more yachts this year, the message is clear: the brand is not just growing—it’s evolving with purpose, precision, and unmistakable Italian style.
