The global superyacht industry is witnessing a landmark moment as Baglietto has delivered the first T60, officially marking it as the largest yacht ever built by the shipyard in its illustrious 172-year history . Known internally during construction as Hull No. 10260, this delivery sets a significant milestone for the Italian shipyard . The launch not only introduces an entirely new 60-metre platform to the high-end maritime market, but it also represents the first of three yachts in this specific line that are already sold and currently under construction . With the subsequent deliveries officially scheduled over the next two years, the T60 confirms both the tremendous commercial success of the project and Baglietto's rapidly strengthening position in the competitive large yacht segment .
Design Mastery: Expanding Volumes and Visual Lightness
The vessel's architecture and exterior aesthetics are the result of a long-standing collaboration with Francesco Paszkowski Design, who spearheaded the exterior lines and also designed the bespoke interiors alongside Margherita Casprini . The T60 features an impressive overall length of 60 metres and a substantial gross tonnage of 1,100 GT, providing exceptional interior volume for a vessel of this class . In the luxury maritime sector, Gross Tonnage (GT) serves as the primary metric of a vessel's internal volume; surpassing the critical 1,000 GT threshold allows designers to craft highly expansive, unrestricted interior living spaces.
Visually, the T60 reinterprets Baglietto's traditional design language through a decidedly more contemporary approach . The exterior profile successfully retains the timeless elegance that has always distinguished the Baglietto brand, while boldly introducing distinctive new stylistic elements . Most notable among these are the visually lighter, seemingly suspended hull sides and the striking continuous black-glass band integrating the portholes, which has now officially become a defining feature of Baglietto's latest family feeling .
Redefining Onboard Living: A Two-Level Oasis
Innovation is heavily present in the yacht's overall layout, which has been explicitly conceived to blur the traditional boundaries between indoor and outdoor living . The main salon and the upper deck both feature full-height glazing that can be fully opened, seamlessly transforming these interior spaces into a single expansive environment in constant dialogue with the sea .
The aft section of the vessel offers a masterclass in modern spatial design. The beach area, main salon, and formal dining room effectively combine to create a spectacular two-level living space . This social hub is greatly enhanced by a sprawling 60-square-metre beach lounge that features a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a stylish bar, and a dedicated conversation area .
The Ultimate Owners’ Deck and Guest Accommodations
One of the most innovative and highly anticipated features of this first hull is the upper deck, which is dedicated exclusively to the Owner and conceived as a true Owners' Deck . The sprawling owner's suite includes a private office, a lavish walk-in wardrobe, and two spacious en-suite bathrooms . Large opening windows on three sides of the suite provide direct access to a private forward pool that is uniquely equipped with a counter-current swimming system . Moving aft on this dedicated level, an outdoor lounge, an al fresco dining area, and a Jacuzzi complete an entire deck entirely devoted to unparalleled privacy and comfort for the owner .
Guest accommodation is equally lavish and highly considered. The layout cleverly comprises four guest cabins situated on the main deck and a fifth VIP guest cabin located on the lower deck . For onboard wellness and five-star service, the yacht features a professional galley and a fully equipped wellness area featuring a real SPA area, which comprehensively includes a massage room, a sauna, and a hammam . The crew quarters are designed to comfortably accommodate up to thirteen people, ensuring an exceptionally high crew-to-guest ratio for impeccable service .
Up top, the sun deck securely hosts the wheelhouse, the Captain's cabin, and additional refined lounge and sunbathing areas . The yacht also features a practical touch-and-go helicopter landing platform, catering perfectly to the rapid transit needs of ultra-high-net-worth individuals . For marine exploration and logistical support, the tender garage is exceptionally well-appointed, built to accommodate a 23-foot tender, two jet skis, and a dedicated rescue tender .

Baglietto’s €25 Million Strategic Expansion
The successful delivery of Hull No. 10260 represents a crucial milestone in the shipyard's overarching growth strategy, which is directly aimed at reinforcing its position at the very top end of the international yachting market . This strategic push is prominently reflected in Baglietto's targeted investments, the active development of new technical expertise, and the gradual, calculated expansion of their production capacity to meet the surging global demand for larger superyachts .
In recent years, Baglietto has aggressively launched a major industrial development plan that involves capital investments of approximately €25 million leading up to the year 2030 . This financial injection is specifically designed to expand production facilities, continuously drive technological innovation, and deeply strengthen the company's manufacturing know-how . The extensive expansion plan specifically includes the enlargement of production areas, the construction of new contemporary offices and industrial buildings, and the protective roofing of a significant waterfront outfitting area .
This aggressive growth path will continue unabated with the development of future projects in the large yacht segment stretching up to 75 metres, further confirming the shipyard's ambition to consolidate its premier position among the world's leading luxury yacht builders . Currently, Baglietto specializes in the construction of new planing aluminium yachts and steel and aluminium semi-displacement mega-yachts ranging between 35 and 65 metres in length .
World-Class Manufacturing Facilities
The company currently operates from two primary, highly advanced production sites: the main headquarters in La Spezia and an operating site in Carrara . The La Spezia headquarters cover an expansive area of approximately 35,000 square metres . Over the last few years, considerable investments were made to extensively renovate this entire production site, successfully adding three new sheds explicitly for the construction of yachts up to 65 metres in length, alongside new fully-equipped quays designed to safely berth vessels of up to 75 metres . The facility also boasts an approximately 1,200-ton travel lift—officially the largest in Europe—which allows for the secure haulage and launch of yachts up to 65 metres long .
Conversely, the operating site in Carrara comprises two distinct areas of 5,000 square metres each . One area is dedicated solely to building military crafts under the Baglietto Navy division, while the second area is heavily equipped with four new sheds intended for the construction of the successful DOM line and yachts up to 46 metres long .
Industry Implications and Global Premiere
"The delivery of the first T60 represents a milestone in Baglietto's history," comments Diego Michele Deprati, Chief Executive Officer of Baglietto . "Not only does it mark the completion of the largest yacht ever built by our shipyard, but it also represents the achievement of a strategic objective that we have pursued with determination over recent years ."
Deprati further noted that the fact that this is the first of three 60-metre yachts already sold and currently under construction effectively demonstrates the deep confidence that owners and the broader market place in Baglietto's vision and their proven ability to deliver increasingly ambitious projects . He further stated that the planned investments, the expansion of production facilities, and the recruitment of new professionals all reflect a clear industrial strategy focused on sustainable growth and establishing Baglietto among the leading players at the very top end of the market, for which they are already developing thrilling new projects .
The global maritime community and discerning UHNWI buyers will soon have the exclusive opportunity to view this engineering and design marvel firsthand. The yacht is officially slated to be on display as a worldwide premiere at the highly anticipated next Monaco Yacht Show, taking place from September 23 to 26 .
