Baglietto, 43 m Fast

Year of delivery: 2015
The new 43  m Fast ushers in a new era for Baglietto. Its interiors and exterior are the work of Francesco Paszkowski Design. It is the natural evolution of the yard’s past yachts, retaining the signature styling cues that earned Baglietto’s craft worldwide fame yet integrating them seamlessly with new elements.  In line with the aerodynamic lines of the aluminium planing yachts that made the brand’s reputation, the yacht’s exteriors exude a sense of dynamism with a receding, sporty bow that acts as a counterpoint to an imposing stern, reflecting the yard’s signature family feeling.

Swan 115 S, 35.20 m
Shipyard: Nautor’s Swan
Design: German Frers
Year of delivery: 2015
The Swan 115 S is the ultimate Swan, combining iconic style, quality and performance. Her hull and deck are infused in carbon fibre for stiffness, strength and weight saving. Modern hull lines by German Frers make for a beautiful, high-performance yacht. A long waterline and generous beam carried well aft result in a high volume hull with exquisitely crafted accommodation. Potent performance is guaranteed with a 5.75-m sailing draft, yet with the hydraulic keel raised, draft is just 3.5 m, allowing universal cruising capability.

SF40, 42.33 m
Shipyard: Mondomarine
Design: Luca Vallebona - SF Yachts
Year of delivery: 2015
The yacht features a clean and well-balanced design with a new conception of internal and external volumes and layout. Special attention to the position and privacy of the owner’s cabin motivates its unusual layout on two semi-levels, with a panoramic open view to the fore and to the lower area, with light coming from the top and from the sides to convey this space as a relaxing hideaway.

460 EXP, 42.20 m
Shipyard: Sanlorenzo
Design: Sanlorenzo
Year of delivery: 2015
The 460EXP is the long-range explorer vessel, which offers safe access to rarely visited regions of the world and a host of tenders and toys for exploring them. The yacht provides the stability, safety and range with just 460 gross tonnage that can unshackle owners from normal yachting restrictions and allow them to explore remote and unspoilt cruising destinations with a more fuel-efficient yacht.

Mangusta 132, 39.90 m
Shipyard: Overmarine 
Design: Stefano Righini / Overmarine Design and Decor Department
Year of delivery: 2015
Mangusta 132 is the fourth model of Maxi Open Mangusta launched over the past two years. Her external lines are the traditionally distinctive ones, racy and sporty with new aesthetic innovations: the single window by the saloon; the elongated flybridge with a modern and aggressive grating; and an extremely spacious sundeck. There are new technical developments too: a new hull with hydrodynamic improvements, new power engines and zero-speed gyroscopic stabilisers. Everything contributes to further improving on-board comfort and increasing the range of uses for this yacht. It is now possible to sail even at low speeds with lower consumption. The distribution of the interiors is the result of a careful architectural study of the volumes, in this case the Owner chose a four-cabin layout with another saloon on the lower deck.
