A Symphony At Sea

In the ever-evolving world of superyacht design, where performance must marry aesthetics and innovation must never sacrifice tradition, few names resonate with as much reverence as Baglietto. For over 170 years, the Italian shipyard has stood as a beacon of naval excellence, crafting vessels that are as technically advanced as they are poetically styled. Among its most compelling collaborations is the enduring partnership with Francesco Paszkowski Design, a union of visionaries whose work reaches its crescendo in one of Baglietto’s most evocative creations—a yacht that is less a machine and more a manifesto.

This is not just a story about a boat. It is the unfolding of a design narrative written across hull and deck, in every detail and dimension. This yacht—sleek, modern, and unmistakably Italian—is a celebration of form and function, power and poetry, brought to life by Paszkowski and his long-time collaborator, Margherita Casprini, who steers the interior spaces with intuitive elegance.

Heritage Meets Innovation: The Baglietto DNA

Founded in 1854, Baglietto’s legacy is interwoven with Italy’s maritime history. The brand became iconic for its military vessels during the 20th century, later pivoting to a luxury yacht market, where its reputation for precision engineering and avant-garde styling continued to flourish.

Under the stewardship of the Gavio Group since 2012, Baglietto has not only preserved its identity but expanded it with a state-of-the-art shipyard in La Spezia and a renewed commitment to sustainability and design innovation. At the heart of this evolution is Francesco Paszkowski, whose design language has become almost synonymous with Baglietto’s modern silhouette.

The Exterior: Fluidity in Motion

Paszkowski’s approach to exterior design is rooted in the balance of performance and perception. The yacht’s lines are taut yet fluid, assertive yet harmonious. Her profile slices through the horizon with quiet confidence, punctuated by long, horizontal lines that speak to speed and elegance alike.

The bow is masculine, proud, and purposeful, while the stern opens up in tiers—a cascading oasis of terraces and beach clubs that connect the vessel to the sea. Large glass surfaces emphasize transparency and invite light deep into the vessel, erasing the boundary between interior and exterior.

One of the yacht’s most celebrated features is the expansive sun deck, which spans nearly half the yacht’s length. This multifunctional space is not only a nod to leisure but an architectural marvel—fitted with a bar, jacuzzi, and multiple lounge areas, all shaded under a hardtop with integrated skylights. The deck flows like an open-plan villa on the water, where every function blends seamlessly into the next.

The Interior: A Harmonious Tapestry by Margherita Casprini

Whereas Paszkowski sculpts the yacht’s silhouette, it is Margherita Casprini who brings soul to the interiors. Her aesthetic is nuanced, tactile, and richly layered. Drawing inspiration from contemporary Italian design, art, and nature, Casprini crafts spaces that feel luxurious yet livable.

The main saloon is a study in restraint and sophistication. Neutral tones dominate—ivory, taupe, and soft greys—punctuated by accents of brushed metal and natural stone. Custom furnishings, many designed exclusively for the project, mirror the yacht’s clean geometry while introducing texture and warmth. Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, blurring the lines between indoors and the ever-changing panorama of the sea.

Materials are chosen not just for appearance but for atmosphere; bleached oak, bronze detailing, silk-textured carpets, and soft leathers create a layered sensory experience. Lighting is meticulously orchestrated—indirect, warm, and ambient—and designed to evoke calm at every turn.

The master suite, situated forward on the main deck, is a sanctuary unto itself. Spanning the full beam, it boasts his-and-hers bathrooms, a private office, and walk-in wardrobes. The detailing is bespoke. From the lacquered surfaces to the handmade Italian fabrics that dress the bed, every element whispers exclusivity.

Engineering Excellence: Under the Skin

Beyond the beauty lies Baglietto’s real magic—the hidden world of naval architecture and performance engineering. This yacht, like all from the shipyard, is constructed with a deep understanding of hydrodynamics, weight distribution, and fuel efficiency.

Equipped with twin MTU engines, the vessel can reach top speeds of over 17 knots, with a cruising range exceeding 4,500 nautical miles. The aluminum hull ensures lightness and strength, while stabilizers ensure comfort even in challenging conditions.

Advanced onboard systems manage everything from climate control to sound insulation, ensuring a near silent cruising experience. Smart energy systems reduce emissions and optimize fuel consumption, aligning with Baglietto’s forward-thinking sustainability goals.

Life Aboard: Where Time Slows

Life aboard a Baglietto yacht is not defined by destination but by experience. The intuitive and modular layout allows guests to move effortlessly between moments: a sunrise yoga session on the foredeck, aperitivo in the sky lounge, and alfresco dining under the stars.
There’s an almost spiritual attention to flow. Crew quarters are discretely placed, ensuring seamless service. Guest areas are generous, with en suite cabins that rival boutique hotel suites. The beach club—complete with a gym, hammam, and sea-level lounge—becomes a portal to the ocean, dissolving the divide between human and horizon.

The Paszkowski Philosophy: Design Beyond Ego

In speaking with Francesco Paszkowski, one immediately senses a designer less concerned with signature than with synergy. “Every yacht is born from dialogue,” he says, “between us and the owner, between form and function, between past and future.”

This collaborative ethos defines the yacht’s success. Rather than imposing a fixed style, Paszkowski and Casprini mold their design language around the client’s desires, harmonizing them with the vessel’s identity. The result is a yacht that is at once universal and unique—a floating sculpture that reflects its owners but also something greater: a lineage of Italian mastery.

A Vessel of Vision

To step aboard this Baglietto yacht is to enter a world where craftsmanship is sacred and design is destiny. In the hands of Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini, every surface tells a story, every corner is composed, and every moment is elevated.

She is not just a superyacht. She is an experience—a testament to collaboration, heritage, and a future navigated through the finest lines and the deepest attention to detail.

In a world awash in noise, Baglietto offers quiet brilliance, and in this yacht, that brilliance has found its most beautiful expression yet.
