Brand Overview
Italian yard founded at Varazze in 1854 by Pietro Baglietto and now part of the Gavio Group, building steel and aluminium superyachts at La Spezia and Carrara — the DOM, T and Fast lines and two Enrico Gobbi projects from 34.5 to 60.6 metres, plus full-custom yachts.

What this builder is
Baglietto was founded at Varazze in 1854 by Pietro Baglietto, and its timeline runs through Italian history: a boat for Pope Leo XIII in 1888, early hydrofoil work, seaplanes and MAS boats from 1914, Cio Cio San for Giacomo Puccini and Alcyone for Gabriele D'Annunzio — who, by legend, designed the seagull logo. The first aluminium hull came in 1975, the 35-metre Adler of 1987 is called the first Italian superyacht, and Chato of 1988 reached 60 knots. The Gavio Group of La Spezia acquired the brand (2010 in the timeline, 2012 in the text), added Bertram in 2015 and merged CCN and Baglietto in 2020. Baglietto S.p.A. is based at Viale San Bartolomeo 414 in La Spezia, a 35,000 m² yard with a 1,120-tonne travel lift and sheds for yachts up to 90 metres; Carrara builds yachts up to 50 metres and the Baglietto Navy's military craft, and the yard says each site turns out five new yachts a year. The range is the DOM line by Stefano Vafiadis (DOM115, DOM133, DOM155), the displacement T line (T54, T60) and the planing Fast line (FAST42, FAST50) by Francesco Paszkowski Design, and PROJECT53 and PROJECT58 by Enrico Gobbi; most platforms offer a hybrid option, and full-custom yachts are built to each owner's brief.
Who sails them
Baglietto owners want an Italian superyacht with a 170-year name and a boutique-yard relationship — buyers who take a proven platform from 35 to 60 metres and customise it, as the yard puts it, down to the finest detail, whether a 28-to-30-knot aluminium planing yacht or a steel displacement yacht with a three-level beach club, infinity pool and hybrid option.
Signature models
The T line is the yard's traditional displacement signature — the T54 evolves the acclaimed T52, which the timeline says first went hybrid in 2023, and the 60.6-metre T60 is the largest of the range; the DOM133, whose first Hybrid came in 2025, leads the contemporary DOM line, and the FAST42 and FAST50 carry the yard's speed tradition.
Strengths
Baglietto is known for one of the oldest names in Italian yachting, a partnership of more than twenty years with Francesco Paszkowski Design, steel and aluminium construction, fast planing hulls alongside displacement yachts, an optional hybrid platform and onboard hydrogen production offered on the PROJECT58, what it calls Europe's largest travel lift at La Spezia, and service points from Sardinia and the Balearics to Fort Lauderdale.
Considerations
The range pages print only length, beam, gross tonnage, engines, top and cruising speed and power — no draught, displacement, tankage, range, accommodation or deck plans; the rpm on the power line is cut short; the headers misspell 'Franscesco' Paszkowski; the site does not say which range projects have been built; and the heritage page gives both 2010 and 2012 for the Gavio Group's arrival.

History
Pietro Baglietto founded the shipyard that bears his name at Varazze in 1854, as Italy was preparing to take its first steps as a nation; by 1860 it stood on Varazze beach. The timeline lists a boat for Pope Leo XIII in 1888, the first hydrofoil project with Crocco and Ricaldoni in 1906, and seaplanes and MAS boats from 1914. Famous owners follow: Cio Cio San for Giacomo Puccini (1911), Elettra for Guglielmo Marconi (1919), Alcyone for Gabriele D'Annunzio (1932) — who, according to legend, designed the seagull logo — Panda for King Vittorio Emanuele III and Queen Elena (1938) and Carostefal for Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly (1964). The yard built its first aluminium hull, 26 metres, in 1975; the 35-metre Adler (1987) is called the first Italian superyacht and Chato (1988) the most powerful yacht, at 60 knots, and Opus (1993) the largest open yacht ever built. The Gavio Group of La Spezia acquired CCN and then the Baglietto brand in 2010 (the same page says Baglietto joined the Gavio family in 2012), bought Bertram in 2015 and merged CCN and Baglietto in 2020. BZERO followed in 2021, the first hybrid T52 in 2023, a 170th-anniversary micro-museum in 2024, the first DOM133 Hybrid in 2025 and the launch of the first 60-metre yacht in 2026.
