About Baglietto Yachts

Drawing from a rich heritage of Italian craftsmanship and innovation, Pietro Baglietto founded the custom superyacht shipyard Baglietto in 1854. The shipwright company, located in Varazze, Italy, has borne his name ever since. In the late 1880s, Baglietto became established as a popular builder of regatta-winning racing sailboats. Soon after, Baglietto introduced motorboats to its offerings. This led to the settlement of two important records. In 1906, the yard launched Giuseppina at 22.6 meters, the largest combustion engine-powered cruising yacht ever built in Italy, and, around time, prototyped the world’s first hydrofoil craft.

Throughout the 20th Century, Baglietto continued to build diverse and innovative vessels, including military craft, racing boats and pleasure yachts for clients such as the King of Spain and Guglielmo Marconi. In the late 1900s, Baglietto switched from wood to aluminum construction, moving up into the world of superyachts. Baglietto offers new construction of semi-displacement and full-displacement aluminum and steel superyachts up to 60 meters in length. It’s shipyard in La Spezia also offers service and refit work for superyachts to 120 meters.
