Baglietto
Founded in 1854, Baglietto is one of Italy’s longest-established yacht builders, building steel and aluminum yachts from its shipyards in La Spezia and Carrara. The current range spans displacement, high-performance, semi-custom, and full-custom projects, with a long-standing emphasis on naval engineering, exterior living, and close collaboration with designers including Francesco Paszkowski.
The Builder
Baglietto began in Varazze in 1854, when Pietro Baglietto founded the shipyard that still carries his name. Its history includes racing yachts, military craft, early hydrofoil development, and large motor yachts, giving the builder a long association with performance and naval engineering. Today, Baglietto operates shipyards in La Spezia and Carrara. Its current yacht range uses steel and aluminum construction across platforms that vary considerably in size, speed, layout, and level of customization.
The shipyard’s design identity has also been shaped by long-running collaborations with designers including Francesco Paszkowski, whose work has defined much of the T and FAST lines, Stefano Vafiadis on the DOM range, and Enrico Gobbi on Project53 and Project58. Baglietto has also invested heavily in alternative propulsion. It was the first European shipyard to receive Lloyd’s commercial Hybrid Power certification, and several current platforms are engineered to accommodate optional hybrid systems. A FAST50 and a T54 may come from the same shipyard, but they represent very different approaches to speed, range, volume, construction, and onboard use.

BAGLIETTO YACHTS FOR SALE
The Italian Yacht Group represents buyers and sellers across the Baglietto market, including central-agency listings and buyer-side representation.
Specification can vary considerably between Baglietto yachts within the same line. Interior design, equipment, propulsion, layout, maintenance history, and owner-driven customization can all materially affect how two examples compare.
Our team can provide specification histories, condition information, comparable-market context, and guidance on Baglietto yachts currently available or being considered privately.

Commissioning a New Baglietto
A new Baglietto project starts with the owner’s intended use of the yacht. Cruising grounds, speed, range, guest accommodations, crew requirements, exterior living, propulsion, and the desired level of customization all help determine the right starting point.
IYG acts as the owner’s advocate throughout the process. Our role can include defining the initial brief, coordinating with the shipyard and design teams, reviewing technical and commercial proposals, participating in major build milestones, arranging independent surveys and sea trials, and assisting with documentation and delivery.
Production schedules vary according to platform, specification, and the yard’s active order book. Earlier involvement preserves greater flexibility before layout, engineering, equipment, and interior decisions reach fixed production milestones.
How IYG Works With Baglietto Buyers
Choosing among Baglietto platforms begins with the owner’s brief rather than the model name. IYG helps clients compare available and new-build opportunities against cruising grounds, speed requirements, guest accommodations, crew structure, technical priorities, delivery timing, and the desired level of customization.
Our work can include:
- Guidance on Baglietto model and platform selection
- New-build advisory from initial brief through delivery
- Pre-owned search and market intelligence
- Specification and comparable-market review
- Cross-border transaction support
- Ownership structuring, flag, and VAT guidance
- Survey, sea-trial, documentation, and delivery coordination
For owners considering a sale, the same market perspective helps establish how specification, condition, model, and current competition affect positioning.
Common Questions About Baglietto
Baglietto operates shipyards in La Spezia and Carrara, Italy. La Spezia serves as the company’s registered, administrative, and principal operating headquarters and includes facilities for the construction and handling of large yachts. Carrara provides additional yacht-construction capacity alongside Baglietto’s other marine operations.
Baglietto is particularly associated with steel and aluminum construction, displacement yachts designed with Francesco Paszkowski, aluminum performance yachts, and extensive exterior living areas. Its current offering spans the open DOM series, higher-speed FAST models, large steel displacement yachts, newer semi-custom platforms, and full-custom commissions. The relevant comparison with another Italian builder depends on construction material, speed, volume, customization, delivery timing, and intended cruising profile.
The FAST Line is Baglietto’s performance-focused range. The FAST42 has a published top speed of 28 knots, while the FAST50 reaches 30 knots. Both have published cruising speeds of 24 knots. Higher-speed performance should be evaluated alongside range, fuel use, propulsion, draft, and the owner’s normal cruising pattern.
The DOM and T Lines approach displacement yachting differently. The DOM range emphasizes open layouts, extensive glazing, aft living, and close access to the water. The current T Line uses steel hulls and aluminum superstructures and places greater emphasis on displacement cruising, volume, and larger-yacht operations. The appropriate choice depends on the owner’s preferred size, cruising grounds, guest use, crew requirements, and desired onboard environment.
Length is only one part of the comparison. Buyers should also consider gross tonnage, construction material, cruising speed, range, draft, guest accommodations, crew requirements, tender storage, exterior living areas, propulsion, and the desired level of customization. Those factors often create greater differences in ownership than overall length alone.
