About Baglietto
During the First and Second World Wars, Baglietto built anti-submarine motorboats for the Italian Navy that achieved top speeds of 50 knots. After the WW2, Baglietto started building leisure motor yachts again with their popular Seagull series of wooden vessels from 10 to 22m.
In 1983, the Rodriguez family acquired Baglietto and led the shipyard into the era of aluminium. The shipyard innovated by venturing into the superyacht industry, building the 45m Al Fahedi for the Emir of Dubai. Around the same time, the company built Chato for American shipowner, John van Neumann which became the fastest motor yacht in the Mediterranean, reaching 62.5 knots during sea trials.
In the 1990s, Baglietto started thinking about serial yacht production and teamed up with up and coming designer, Francesco Paszkowski to design the Opus, first 29m Open, in 1994. In 1999, the company acquired the Ferrari shipyard in La Spezia to increase its production capacity.
In 2004, Baglietto was acquired by Camuzzi Group, which also acquired Cantieri di Pisa in 2005. The group prospered until 2008 when it was hit by the financial crisis.
In 2010, Gruppo Baglietto announced it was going into voluntary liquidation after closing 2009 with 73 million euros of negative equity and 2008 with 25 million euros in losses. Later in 2010 the shipyard was acquired by Effebi-Overmarine for 33 million euros.
In 2012, Bejamino Gavio led an acquisition of the shipyard for a sum of €18.5 million on behalf of Gruppo Gavio, a large Italian corporation primarily involved in motorways and motorway concessions. The group had consolidated its position in yachting prior to acquiring Baglietto by purchasing Cerri Cantieri Navali earlier in 2012. Later, in 2015, they acquired US-based Bertram.

Grand Soleil Yachts has introduced its first weekender model, the Grand Soleil Blue, marking a significant departure from its traditional performance and long-cruise yachts. The 32ft 9in (9.99m) vessel is designed for day sailing and weekend getaways, featuring a sustainable build and electric propulsion options.The yacht is the smallest in the Grand Soleil range and sets new standards for recyclability. According to Gigi Servidati, Cantiere del Pardo Chairman, “The GS Blue represents the beginning of a new concept within the Grand Soleil range: a line that is agile, sustainable, fun, highly liveable, and designed for more immediate and flexible use.”The vessel’s design emphasizes performance and comfort, developed by naval architect Matteo Polli and Nauta Design for exterior, interior design, and layout. Polli noted, “The striking hull shape is designed to provide stability when the boat heels, to maximize power upwind. And in light winds, or when running, the narrow waterline beam delivers lower drag and therefore higher speeds.”Sustainability is a core feature of the GS Blue. The yacht utilizes Arkema’s Elium resin in its composite lay-up, allowing for recovery and reuse at the end of its life. The PET core material in the hull’s sandwich construction is derived from post-consumer waste, and the design allows for easy disassembly of components.The yacht offers fully electric propulsion as an option, featuring a 6kW pod drive from ePropulsion powered by a 190Ah lithium battery. This setup provides a range of up to 30 nautical miles at 5 knots, with the option to double that range by adding a second battery pack. The electric system enables silent maneuvering and a top speed of 6.5 knots.Performance-wise, the GS Blue boasts a 2.2m bulb keel (with a 1.8m shallow draft option) and a generous sailplan. It can achieve upwind speeds of 6-8 knots and downwind speeds of 10-12 knots. The design prioritizes easy shorthanded or solo sailing, featuring push-button electric Harken winches.Inside, the yacht offers modern Italian-style amenities including a heads compartment with freshwater shower, an efficient galley with hob, oven, and fridge, and berths for up to four, optimized for two. The interior design focuses on light and space, as highlighted by Massimo Gino, CEO and co-founder of Nauta: “A key element of the interior design is the light scheme, which ensures that even with lower ceiling heights, the yacht feels spacious and welcoming for guests.”The project is co-financed by the Emilia Romagna region as part of the PR-ERDF 2021/2027 program, emphasizing its experimental research and development nature.Cantiere del Pardo was founded in 1973 in Italy. Pardo Yachts, the brand of Cantiere del Pardo dedicated to powerboats, was born in 2016. The first model, the Pardo 43, was launched in 2017. Grand Soleil was founded in 1973 and is famous for its yachts, which ensure performance for regattas, autonomous long-distance navigation, as well as a high level of sustainable consciousness.Credits: Grand Soleil Yachts
