questions to Fabio Ermetto Chief Commercial Officer of Baglietto Can you give us a quick overview of the current internal and external markets? In recent years the yacht-building market has experienced positive trends across the industry, with significant growth figures. It’s been a record year for us – we’ve handed over three full-custom yachts and sold six since August 2021. The unusual period we’re living through has certainly encouraged people to see yachts as privileged locations where they can isolate themselves in safety. What are the current trends? What do new Baglietto owners demand from their yachts? The main requirement today is a closer relationship with the sea. As a result the emphasis is now on the aft spaces, redesigned to ensure they can be used to the full. The uninterrupted full-height windows provide greater visibility and more natural light, and the side terraces enable guests to enjoy fantastic views. Not to mention the beach clubs: the three-level beach club has become our signature feature. Is there a more heightened awareness of the issues surrounding environmental protection? Owners are showing greater environmental awareness, and this is being translated into vessels with hybrid motorisation. We offer this in all standard versions of our products. The yard is deeply involved in this subject and is carrying out important researches. In Monaco we presented the B-Zero project, a green project in the field of alternative energy sources, an expression of Baglietto’s vision and tangible commitment to sustainable yachting. The project, whose primary objective is to increase the electric cruising range of vessels in zero-emission mode, involves integrating hydrogen fuel cell technology on a hybrid or diesel-electric platform. To what extent does design contribute to a project’s appeal? Design plays a highly significant role in both the exteriors and interiors. For our pre-designed lines our stylistic choice fell on Francesco Paszkowski Design, which has been interpreting the Baglietto philosophy for over 20 years. We asked him to redesign the traditional line, with the T52, and the fast lines that are part of the Baglietto DNA. Then there’s the DOM133 line designed by Stefano Vafiadis, a family of 40-metre aluminium cruisers that reflect the “atelier” production philosophy we are well-known for. Not forgetting the full-custom models that show the yard’s amazing flexibility – they are unique craft with a specially-developed naval platform. What projects and commissions are you currently involved in? The yard has thirteen new yachts between 38 and 52 metres in length in different stages of construction for delivery up to 2024.
