Baglietto is celebrating its fourth launch this year – last week the Italian shipyard launched the third T52 hull and named Akula.The exterior was designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design, who chose a dark gray shade for the body, which gives this unit a powerful and aggressive look. Enrico Gobbi's design team was responsible for the interior. The Italian Yacht Group as the owner's representative and Fabrizio Lai of Interyachting LLC as the surveyor supervised the entire construction process on behalf of the owner.All the features that ensured the success of this line are preserved here - from the open stern, on which the beach club is located on 3 levels, to the sky lounge on the upper deck, which opens on 3 sides thanks to fully concealed floor-to-ceiling windows, are preserved. At the same time, as in the previous case, a number of innovative solutions can be found on the yacht. The aft part was also redesigned, the garage was replaced with a comfortable gym, and 2 jet skis and a 5.5-meter tender were moved to the bow.The technical launch took place in the presence of the shipyard’s workers, while waiting on the formal ceremony to be held at the beginning of the summer season, when the yacht will be officially delivered to her owner.“We are now stepping into the bustling season of deliveries,” comments Baglietto’s CCO Fabio Ermetto. “This year, as many as 4 T52 vessels and 2 yachts in the DOM133 series will be hitting the water. And, although each yacht is part of a specific line, she is in fact truly one in her kind and the outcome of a long journey made side by side with the Owner. The launch is the culmination of this process”.Baglietto Spa is an Italian boat builder based in La Spezia specializing in new aluminum light alloy yachts ranging between 35m and 50m in length and steel and light aluminum alloy displacement megayachts starting at 40m.Credits: Baglietto
