The core of what Baglietto builds

The T52 sits at the heart of Baglietto's output in the 50 metre-plus displacement class, a segment the yard has worked in for decades. It anchors the T-line as its entry model while carrying full custom scale. The first hull, Daybreak, was delivered in 2024 and set the template for the platform. Baglietto has called this size the trend spot of its production. The choice of a 52 metre entry point shows where the yard sees its core buyers.

At 497 GT the T52 sits just under the 500 GT threshold, a deliberate line that keeps a 52 metre yacht manageable to run. Its steel hull and hybrid drive mark it as a serious long-range yacht. The model reflects where the yard has long concentrated its craft. Further hulls have followed the first, building a small series. It is the natural choice for a buyer wanting a large Baglietto displacement yacht.

The traditional T-line

The T-line is Baglietto's classic displacement family, shaped for more than twenty years by Francesco Paszkowski Design. The partnership goes back to 1992 and a 29 metre fast open yacht, and it has grown into the yard's signature look. The T52 is described as a sensible evolution of that line rather than a break from it. Larger T-line platforms sit above it in the range. The family carries a continuity that few yards can claim over such a span.

Where the DOM line chases contemporary volume, the T-line carries a more established Baglietto character. Paszkowski's hand gives it a recognisable profile across the family. The line speaks to owners who want a proven yard signature in a large displacement yacht. Its look has held up through changing fashions. The T52 brings that identity to its entry size.

A Paszkowski profile

Francesco Paszkowski Design shaped the exterior, giving the T52 a long, balanced profile over a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. At 52 metres with a 9.5 metre beam, the yacht has the deck areas of a full flagship. The 2.6 metre draft keeps a large yacht reasonably flexible in where it can go. Outdoor areas run across several decks. The proportions give the yacht presence without heavy styling.

The exterior devotes generous space to open-air living and to a beach club at the waterline. Sun and shade are worked across the flybridge and aft decks. The proportions follow the classic Baglietto displacement look. Deck flow is planned for a yacht that spends long spells at anchor. This is a yacht meant to be used across long seasons.

Interior by Paszkowski and Casprini

The interior on the first hulls was drawn by Francesco Paszkowski Design in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. The T52 sleeps up to twelve guests across five cabins, with layouts open to the owner within the platform. The near-500 GT volume gives large saloons and a full owner's deck. Finish follows the owner's brief within the yard's style. The result carries the calm, tailored feel that marks Paszkowski interiors.

Crew accommodation supports up to nine, enough for full service on extended cruising. The length allows clear separation between owner and crew areas. Space is given to wellness and to indoor-outdoor living. The volume lets each deck take on a distinct role. The interior is built for weeks or months aboard.

Hybrid and long-legged

The T52 runs a diesel-electric hybrid system that lets it sit at anchor for up to twelve hours on batteries for hotel loads. Under battery power alone it can cruise for around three and a half hours, and in diesel-electric mode with one generator running it can reach almost 8,000 nautical miles at a slow six knots. Top speed is about 16 knots, with an economical cruise near 11 knots. The hybrid drive is central to the model's quiet, low-emission character. Silent nights at anchor are part of what the system is built to deliver.

This is a yacht for an owner who wants a large, capable displacement yacht with modern efficiency and long range. It suits ocean cruising and long seasons away from home waters. The hybrid system rewards owners who spend real time at anchor. Running a 52 metre yacht just under 500 GT keeps the crew requirement in check. As the entry to the T-line, it offers flagship scale with a manageable crew.
