Baglietto 48.9m Aluminium Displacement Motor Yacht 1995 (2018 Refit) 7 Cabins Hong Kong Flag

Overview
Delivered in 1995 by the renowned Italian shipyard Baglietto and comprehensively refitted in 2018, this 48.9-metre aluminium displacement motor yacht offers a rare mix of classic pedigree, serious guest capacity, and updated condition. With exterior lines by Bannenberg & Rowell and interiors by Studio Vafiadis, she combines timeless design authority with a highly flexible cabin configuration—positioning her as a strong private yacht or charter-oriented asset in the sub-50m market.

Construction, Design & Hull Form
Built with an aluminium hull and aluminium superstructure, she benefits from corrosion resistance, weight efficiency, and the structural integrity associated with high-grade aluminium yacht construction. With 48.9m LOA, 8.88m beam, and 4.2m draft, she offers generous internal proportions across three decks with teak deck surfaces for durable, premium outdoor living.
The displacement hull form supports stable seakeeping and consistent comfort in varied sea states—ideal for extended cruising rather than purely short-range coastal hops. Finished in a white hull and matching aluminium superstructure, her profile remains elegant and purposeful. Registered under the Hong Kong flag, she offers international operational flexibility subject to buyer jurisdiction and cruising intentions. Her internal volume is 339 GT—well-balanced for this size category.

Propulsion, Speeds & Onboard Autonomy
Twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel engines (764 hp / 570 kW each; 1,528 hp / 1,140 kW combined) drive twin screws via conventional shaft lines—valued for reliability, service access, and global parts availability. Performance is appropriate for a displacement platform: 15 knots maximum and 10 knots cruising, with efficient long-distance passage capability supported by a substantial 48,000 litres of fuel. Freshwater capacity is 15,700 litres for strong cruising autonomy.

Stabilization, Manoeuvring & Engineering Practicality
Stabilizers operate both underway and at anchor to significantly reduce roll and enhance comfort at sea and in harbour. A bow thruster improves manoeuvrability in confined marinas and docking scenarios. The engine room reflects traditional mechanical accessibility with visible data plates, engineered mounts to reduce vibration, structured cooling systems, fuel filtration, exhaust routing and gearbox integration aligned with twin screw propulsion.
Electrical generation and distribution systems support hotel loads, navigation electronics and climate systems through integrated panels, breakers and shore power connectivity. Plumbing includes freshwater pumps, bilge management, water heating and holding tank arrangements consistent with a yacht of this class. The 2018 refit reinforces operational readiness through investment in systems, finishes and mechanical upkeep, while the aluminium underwater body is protected with appropriate coatings and antifouling.

Guest & Crew Accommodation
A key differentiator is her guest capacity: up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. The arrangement includes a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck, plus three double cabins and three twin cabins on the lower deck—ideal for multi-generational family use or charter-style guest mixes. Crew accommodation supports 7 personnel in 3 crew cabins, enabling professional service while maintaining guest privacy and operational separation.

Interior Ambience & Social Spaces
Studio Vafiadis designed an interior that blends contemporary refinement with marine practicality, delivering well-proportioned salon and dining areas within the yacht’s 339 GT volume. Large windows enhance natural light, while full air conditioning supports comfort across climates and cruising regions. The interior layout and volume efficiency make her practical for longer stays onboard—where liveability matters as much as looks.

Exterior Lifestyle & Deck Features
Exterior living is spread across three decks, including a dedicated sun deck with deck Jacuzzi, exterior bar and generous lounging areas for entertaining. Teak decks enhance both traction and finish quality. A tender garage provides secure storage for tenders and water toys—keeping deck lines clean while improving operational efficiency. The swim platform supports easy water access and watersports deployment, reinforcing her leisure profile.

Electronics & Connectivity
Onboard Wi-Fi supports communications and entertainment. Navigation electronics include radar, GPS, AIS, autopilot and chart plotters to support safe passagemaking, complemented by stabilization, security systems and verified navigation instrumentation.
