Baglietto Yachts

What Baglietto Yachts does

Baglietto S.p.A. (Baglietto Yachts) is a privately held Italian luxury yacht builder founded in 1854 in Varazze and now headquartered in La Spezia, with a second production facility in Carrara. The company designs and constructs fully bespoke superyachts ranging from 35m aluminium planing vessels to 60m+ steel-and-aluminium displacement megayachts, organized into three product lines (DOM Line, T Line, FAST Line) plus a Full Custom offering, and operates a separate Baglietto Navy division for patrol boats, minesweepers, and coast guard vessels. The combined shipyard footprint exceeds 45,000 m², includes Europe's largest travel lift at 1,120 tons, and supports a capacity of roughly five new vessels per year.

Baglietto's technology stack combines traditional Italian naval architecture with a proprietary Hybrid Propulsion System (diesel, electric motors, lithium batteries, with four operating modes) that made it the first European shipyard to receive Lloyd's Register commercial Hybrid Power certification, and the BZERO green hydrogen system that produces hydrogen onboard from seawater via AEM electrolysis and converts it through PEM fuel cells, with onboard implementation planned from 2028. The company is owned by Gruppo Gavio, an Italian diversified industrial group, following the 2012 acquisition and the 2020 merger of CCN into Baglietto.

Commercially, Baglietto sells almost exclusively through a direct enterprise field-sales model targeting ultra-high-net-worth individuals, supported by representative offices in Fort Lauderdale (Americas), Coomera (Australia), Hong Kong via Fraser Worldwide, and service points across the Mediterranean and Americas. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based with multi-year contracts, and ancillary revenue comes from refitting and reconstruction services, military vessel contracts, and branded merchandise including the Millemetri Baglietto 1854 watch.
