PACHAMAMA
by Baglietto with Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini
In 2014, Italian shipyard Baglietto celebrated its
160th birthday with a big event in the Naval Hall of
the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan,
the culmination of a long history in which it has
progressively come to specialise in the construction
of luxury mega yachts in and all aluminium.
This activity, the yard’s current core business, is
accompanied by refits, and military builds as well –
previously a longstanding tradition for the famous
Italian brand.
This is the next step following Baglietto’s recent
changes, having become part of the Gavio Group some
time ago, and recently completing a strategic business
renewal plan that includes major developments in
commercial areas and production facilities extending
over more than 35,000 m2. It’s a course that has been
set since Baglietto’s “new era” began when the Gavio
Group took over the company Gavio Group, the
source of the period of intense activity currently
enjoyed by the Italian shipyard.
This development has proven to be very positive, as
witnessed by Baglietto’s presence at two prestigious
events for the sector last year with two major new
projects on show at the same time.
These two new luxury mega yachts, one with a
displacement hull and the other with a planing hull,
were presented by the Italian shipyard in an entirely
unexpected world first at both the Cannes Yachting
Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show.
The naval architecture and marine engineering for
both vessels were developed by Baglietto’s technical
department, while the projects bear the stylistic
signature of Francesco Paszkowski, who has previously
worked with the “seagull brand” successfully on
numerous occasions.
For both vessels, the inexhaustible creative inspiration
of the Tuscan professional, still faithful to his graphite
pencil, was the source of both the exterior and interior
design, but in the latter case with the contribution
of Margherita Casprini.

In particular, the new mega yacht with the planing
hull, named Pachamama by her lucky Owner, is the
first hull in Baglietto’s renewed Fast range, produced
in aluminium. She is also the first vessel to be built and
finished inside and out entirely at Baglietto’s La Spezia
facilities, the new operational location which replaced
the yard’s original historic base in Varazze when the
shipyard came under new management with the Gavio
Group. Three vessels are due to take
THE FIRST HULL
to the water from the La Spezia
IN BAGLIETTO’S
facilities this year, and another three
RENEWED
vessels next year, all built in metal
with a planing or displacement hull,
FAST RANGE,
and in lengths ranging from 43 to

55 metres. By comparison with her
IN ALUMINIUM
future sister and cousin ships,
Pachamama has a length of 43.5 metres, or 143 feet,
with a planing hull and an all-metal build in light
aluminium alloy for both the hull and the
superstructure. Like Baglietto’s other exclusive new
creations, Pachamama has that recognisable family feel
unique to vessels by the Italian shipyard, with sporty
lines and aggressive forms that directly express the
high performance at sea available as standard in every
motor yacht bearing the prestigious logo.
However, designer has gone beyond merely restating
the classic stylistic elements that identify the Baglietto
look, which has always been so deeply rooted in the
collective imagination, inspired by an innovative drive
to sketch out a contemporary interpretation of the
Baglietto style. The clean, sleek aesthetic dynamism of
the exterior design, underlined and enhanced by the
two-tone livery, is combined in a flawless, balanced
way with the sober elegance of the interior design,
which is interpreted in a very pleasing style, echoed in
a consistent, coordinated manner in both the
furnishing and decoration of the sophisticated
interiors. The exclusive fittings specially created for
Pachamama are infused with an enchanting, warm and
welcoming atmosphere, full of a sensation of soothing
calm and at the same time a sense of excitement.
All of this is achieved thanks to skilful design, which
masterfully succeeds in creating a flawless, balanced
relationship between luxury and simplicity, formality
and informality. To complete the harmony of the
setting, based on furniture with soft, rounded shapes,
pairings of carefully selected materials such as teak,
100
both natural and varnished, worked leather and
worked limestone make an important contribution.
Like the careful visual alternation applied to the
various finishes of materials, the considered dialogue
established between the various colour tones plays an
important part in the overall symphony, further
embellished by the chessboard composition used for
many of the vertical and horizontal cladding panels.
On taking a leisurely stroll around Pachamama, it is
very clear that space, light and socialising were the
guiding principles of the layout for all three decks on
the vessel. This begins with the panoramic flybridge,
which covers over 75 m2 and can therefore offer a huge
sunbathing area with sun beds and a large lounge area
with chairs and tables, as well as an extensive al fresco
dining area served by a bar/grill/barbecue, well
protected by the shade of the hard top.
Inside the raised pilothouse there are two sections:
the wheelhouse itself, which has a sporty, automotiveinspired design apparent at first glance, and the guest
lounge with chairs for observing the navigation
process. Like the flybridge, the main deck is also fully
dedicated to socialising both inside and out: the
extraordinarily large stern area is protected by the
overhanging deck above, and can be used as a lounge
or an al fresco dining area, while the forward area is
entirely in the open, laid out as a sunbathing area with
sun pads and a hydromassage tub in a spectacular
position in the soaring bow, overhanging the water.
From the from aft peak, you can access the
magnificent salon through a welcoming entrance area
lit from above, an unusual feature in comparison with
the normal approach on other vessels to date, with two
skylights built into the ceiling corresponding to the
sunbathing area on the flybridge above.
The large side windows provide the salon with an
abundance of natural light.
This space is furnished with soft sofas and armchairs,
providing a space exclusively for relaxation
and conversation.
Unlike the standard version of the Baglietto 43 Fast
where the salon incorporates a living area and a dining
area, on Pachamama the Owner opted to create the
dining room in the forward part of the deck, and
therefore entirely separate from the living space due
to the presence of the technical compartment below
the wheelhouse.

The galley is adjacent to the dining room to facilitate
table service to the diners. The galley area and the
dining area are normally kept separate during formal
occasions, but a sliding panel can be opened to create
visual continuity between the galley and the dining
area to form a single space like a huge American-style
country kitchen, ideal for informal situations.
As a result, the dining area and the galley area on
board Pachamama, together with the crew dinette and
the laundry room, occupy the area on the main deck
originally intended for the Owner’s suite in the
standard version of the Baglietto 43 Fast.
As a natural consequence, the full-beam Owner’s suite
on Pachamama is therefore located amidships on
the lower deck, together with the VIP stateroom
with double bed and the three with double beds and
one with twin beds guest staterooms with twin beds.
Like the master stateroom, which has a desk / dressing
table and a large dressing room, the VIP stateroom
and the guest staterooms are also very spacious with
abundant natural light.
In addition to the luxurious private accommodation
for the Owner and guests, the comfortable crew
quarters are also located on the lower deck but in the
forward section, including the captain’s cabin with a
double bed and the three crew cabins with bunk beds.
