Baglietto showcased its new T60 Kinda II and FAST50 yacht designs at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show. The projects highlight the company's focus on varied performance capabilities and specialized deck layouts.
Why it matters
These models address divergent market demands by balancing large-scale luxury living with high-speed performance engineering. The designs reflect the ongoing industry trend of tailoring naval architecture to specific owner lifestyle preferences and operational environments.
The T60 Kinda II spans 197 feet with 1,100 gross tons and a 645-square-foot beach lounge, while the 164-foot FAST50 achieves a 30-knot top speed. The FAST50 is equipped with a floodable garage capable of hosting a 23-foot tender.
The players
Baglietto
This Italian shipyard is a historic manufacturer of luxury motor yachts with a focus on custom performance vessels.
Francesco Paszkowski Design
This firm is a renowned design studio specializing in the exterior and interior styling of luxury yachts.
Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture
This organization provides specialized naval engineering and hydrodynamic design services for the maritime industry.
The details
Francesco Paszkowski Design handled the aesthetic styling for both vessels, while Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture provided the technical engineering. The T60 utilizes two Caterpillar 3512E engines, whereas the FAST50 employs a semi-tunnel hull design powered by four MTU 16V2000 M96L engines.
Timeline
Baglietto presented the new yacht designs during the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show.
Roadmap
The FAST50 semi-tunnel hull design marks a departure from traditional deep-draft engineering to accommodate limited water depths. These projects demonstrate how shipyards are increasingly diversifying their fleets to compete across both luxury volume and high-speed transit segments.
Prospective owners can now evaluate these platforms based on specific transit requirements, such as the FAST50's capability to access shallow waters. Buyers must account for significantly different maintenance demands between the high-speed four-engine configuration and the larger vessel's dual-engine setup.
The takeaway
These designs illustrate how specialized hull engineering can significantly alter a vessel's operational range and performance. Owners should prioritize whether their travel habits favor high-speed maneuverability or maximize onboard living space when selecting between these platforms.
