Modern times
“Why did I choose Baglietto? To be truthful, it was a really irrational decision. […] Yachting is passion, challenge and enjoyment.”
BENIAMINO GAVIO (PRESIDENT)
TALES FROM THE BLUE
170 years of history, 170 years of stories. To mark our anniversary, we created an immersive micro-museum that retraces our journey from the moment we first set sail to today. Housed within a container, the museum was designed to be a traveling exhibition experience.
Designers
If we imagine comparing Baglietto to one of the films that have made cinema history, a masterpiece with a great direction and a cast of timeless stars, we could say that the narrative of this shipyard is intertwined with that of the most important pencils in the nautical industry. After all, working for a brand like Baglietto is demanding, tiring, and requires a high level of professionalism, but it’s also a challenge and a source of recognition. Being included among those who have had the privilege of signing a Baglietto piece is a kind of certification of quality.

GRUPPO GAVIO
In 2012, Baglietto set its course toward the future by joining the Gavio family, one of Italy’s leading industrial groups and a global player in the management of motorway networks. Gruppo Gavio is also strongly active in the design and construction of major infrastructures, as well as in transport, logistics, and leisure boating.
BAGLIETTO NAVY
Baglietto ha scritto grandi pagine della sua storia in ambito militare. A partire dalla Prima guerra mondiale, l’attività di ricerca e sviluppo per questo settore ha determinato gran parte del prestigio del marchio, portandolo ad assumere rapidamente il ruolo di protagonista del mercato. Grazie a un’avanzata tecnologia e ad un’elevata competenza in campo aeronautico e nelle carene veloci il cantiere è diventato, negli anni, uno dei principali fornitori della Difesa Italiana, arrivando a progettare imbarcazioni scelte dalle Forze di Polizia e dalle Guardie Costiere di molti Paesi del Mediterraneo e non solo. Dai MAS ai VAS, fino ad arrivare alle unità dragamine e ai pattugliatori costruiti per molte Marine straniere, Baglietto ha dato un contributo determinante al progresso della nautica militare. La divisione Baglietto Navy nasce con l’obiettivo di proseguirne la grande tradizione adattando esperienza e tecnologia alle più moderne applicazioni militari.
