Milan, Italy – February 8, 2024 – Renowned Italian boat builder Baglietto unveiled two exciting new yacht lines today at a press conference in Milan. These innovative vessels, designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design, push the boundaries of design and functionality, further expanding Baglietto's product portfolio in its 170th anniversary year.

XO: Embracing the Horizon

The XO line caters to those seeking unforgettable journeys and boundless exploration. More than just traditional Explorers, these yachts embody the concept of Experiencing, Observing, and Xploring (XO). The 50-meter X50 serves as the first model in this groundbreaking line.

Unparalleled Observation Point: A defining feature of the XO line is the unique observation point positioned above the wheelhouse. This exclusive space offers panoramic views and transforms into an entertainment area ideal for long voyages. Large windows provide a 360-degree vista, while a central skylight allows guests to enjoy the magic of starry nights.

Inspired by Innovation: Drawing inspiration from the iconic ETR 300 'Settebello' train, the XO line reimagines the traditional layout by placing the pilot bridge on the upper deck and reserving the exclusive observation area for guests above.

Sophisticated Design: Despite exploring a new design language, the XO line retains the signature Baglietto style, blending sleek lines with the robustness of an Explorer. The flybridge resembles the one found on the 16.50-meter model, while the upper deck draws inspiration from the successful T52 concept.

Transoceanic Prowess: The hull, designed for transoceanic crossings, features a sturdy and sharp bow for efficient maneuvering in challenging conditions. Generous areas are dedicated to storing large tenders, ensuring safe exploration even in rough seas.

Sustainable Solutions: Baglietto's commitment to environmental responsibility is evident in the use of eco-friendly ceramic materials, solar panels on the flybridge, and the selection of special paints.

Unmatched Customization: The XO line offers a range of customization options, particularly in the aft area, which can comfortably accommodate up to two large tenders. Additionally, a wide palette of colors allows for personalized design expression.

FAST50: Redefining Performance

The FAST50 yacht, powered by four MTU 2000M96L engines, reaches a maximum speed of 30 knots, solidifying Baglietto's position at the forefront of high-performance aluminum superyachts.

Drawing on Legacy: The FAST50 draws inspiration from iconic Baglietto models like Pachamama, Monokini, and RUSH, while incorporating design elements from the innovative T52 line. The sleek lines and folding gunwale offer an exceptional swimming platform experience.

Seamless Connection: Similar to the T52, the FAST50 boasts a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces, achieved through floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper deck and lower gunwales that maximize the view. This creates a spacious and airy main saloon, housing a lounge area and a TV area, while the dining area resides in the sky lounge on the upper deck.

Generous Spaces: Embracing the "wide-body" concept in the master cabin, the FAST50 offers exceptional volume without compromising on visibility, thanks to silk-screened hull windows. The upper deck features ample outdoor areas for relaxation and sunbathing, while the lower deck offers two VIP cabins and two twin cabins, all en-suite.

Crew Quarters and Tender Storage: Spacious crew quarters include a dinette, captain's cabin, and additional cabins. The yacht can accommodate a 7-meter tender stored in a dedicated garage behind the engine room.

Limited-draft semi-tunnels ensure safe navigation in shallow waters.

The first FAST50 is currently under construction at the shipyard, with delivery scheduled for 2026.

"The FAST50 line marks Baglietto's return to the high-performance segment," comments Baglietto's Sales Manager Fabio Ermetto. "This new top-of-the-range model reinterprets our heritage while catering to clients who demand exceptional performance without compromising on comfort and luxury."
