According to the information from the yard, the full-custom project currently known as Hull No. 10277 was designed for high-latitude exploration
The keel-laying ceremony for the 48-metre superyacht took place at Baglietto’s facility in Carrara and was attended by the owner and representatives of Floating Life, a key partner in the development of the project.

“For Baglietto, every keel-laying ceremony marks the beginning of a journey built on expertise, collaboration, and mutual trust between the shipyard, the Owner, and everyone involved in the project – a journey that will accompany the yacht through to her completion,” comments Fabio Ermetto, Chief Commercial Officer of Baglietto.
For now, the shipyard has not revealed much information about the yacht, except for the fact that she will be “capable of combining long-range exploration, operational efficiency, and exceptional onboard comfort”.
The yacht’s exterior and interior design is owed to Floating Life in collaboration with Satura Studio, while the hull and naval architecture, developed by Floating Life and subsequently updated in collaboration with Zero13, are being overseen by Baglietto during the production engineering phase. The project is designed to achieve ICE CLASS 1D classification, supporting navigation at high latitudes and in challenging environmental conditions.
Close contact with the sea and the surrounding environment is one of the cornerstones of the project. The finishes include warm, natural and tactile materials, tactile finishes, while transparent staircases connecting the different levels and expansive glazing ensure a seamless dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces.
One of the superyacht’s highlights is the panoramic saloon surrounded by 360-degree glazing, while the lower deck was conceived as a continuous space from bow to stern, with the engine room positioned on the under-lower deck.
The hull was engineered to reduce drag, helping to lower fuel consumption by up to 30%, while delivering a range of over 5,000 nautical miles.
Another innovation worth mentioning is the launch and recovery system for a 10-meter tender, developed in collaboration with Besenzoni, featuring a retractable platform.
The yacht will be powered by the compact and efficient Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform. Intelligent propulsion management, including Eco Mode, will help reduce fuel consumption and emissions in accordance with operating conditions. Thanks to the system’s compact architecture, it also allows for more efficient use of technical spaces on board.
“The keel laying marks a significant milestone in bringing the Owner’s vision to life, in a project that Floating Life has developed from the initial concept, translating the Owner’s requirements into the yacht’s design and engineering,” comments Andrea Pezzini, Co-Founder and Director of Floating Life, whose team also serves as Owner’s Representative and Surveyor providing technical oversight throughout the construction process on be-half of the Owner. “From the outset, our ambition has been to create a fully custom yacht capable of combining long-range exploration, operational efficiency, and exceptional onboard comfort. As the Owner’s Representative, we continue to work closely with Baglietto and all project partners to ensure continuity between the original design vision and its execution. Baglietto’s technical expertise and willingness to explore innovative solutions are fundamental to this collaboration, particularly in addressing the specific challenges associated with high-latitude navigation”.
