Substantial price drop on 40m Baglietto motor yacht Club M

A €1,600,000 price drop has been announced on the 39.8-metre Baglietto motor yacht Club M, which joined the market for the first time three months ago with Will Christie and Felix Sowerbutts of Christie Yachts.

Built in aluminium by Italian yard Baglietto and delivered in 2020, Club M is a multi-award winner having picked up "Best Motor Yacht, 40-50m" at the World Superyacht Awards 2021 and "Best Motor Yacht, Interior Design under 499GT" at the same year's Design & Innovation Awards.

Club M's contemporary exterior, with high freeboard, is by Horacio Bozzo Design and the "intricate" interior design is by Salvagni Architetti, who incorporated curved surfaces, a refreshing break from the norm, and top Italian brands. She was designed for an owner with 30 years of boating experience who spent three years on the design process, visiting and sounding out designers and yards in Europe. He also drew on his own knowledge gained in developments in the real estate industry.

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in five cabins, the master cabin on the main deck benefitting from a substantial extending balcony to starboard that the broker pointed out would normally only be found on a much bigger yacht. Guest cabins are located on the lower deck, one of which is presently configured as a gym but has two Pullman beds built in and an en suite bathroom. There are quarters for a crew of six in three cabins.

Guests can enjoy reclining on sunpads or socialising on ample seating around tables on the expansive forward part of the upper deck, which has an uninterrupted flow to and from the guest spaces aft, where a bar is located, along with more sunpads and protected lounge seating. A glass-sided Jacuzzi aft gives views of the yacht's wake, while the beach club down at sea level is also claimed to be typical of that found on a larger yacht.

The 392GT, Lloyd's Register-classed yacht for sale has a maximum speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots, giving a cruising range of 3,500 nautical miles under twin 1,600hp Caterpillar engines. Wing stations that extend outboard, a garage with integrated cranes and side boarding ladder all contribute to efficient operations. Hidden ladders allow crew members to access decks without disturbing guests, privacy being high on the owner's design brief.

The broker pointed out that sound and vibration levels are low, "super-sized" fin stabilisers make for guest comfort. "The level of detail on this yacht is really quite remarkable and has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated," he said. "Club M is independently acknowledged as one of the finest yachts to have been built in recent years".

Club M is now asking €19,900,000 and is en route to Monaco.
