Italian shipyard Baglietto has shared a first look on board the first unit from its 49.9-metre Fast50 series, following her world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 in September.
Designed by Francesco Paszkowski, the Fast50 is the flagship of Baglietto's Fast line, conceived as a modern interpretation of the shipyard's high-performance aluminium yachts. The first unit of the all-aluminium model was sold shortly after its unveiling in 2024, before hitting the water for the first time in June.
Measuring 49.9 metres and remaining below the 500GT threshold, the yacht is powered by four MTU 2000 M96L engines delivering a top speed of 30 knots. The naval architecture has been developed by Pierluigi Ausonio, while the interiors have been designed by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini.
The owner commissioned the project with a brief to reinterpret Baglietto's historic fast yachts, drawing inspiration from Pachamama, Monokini and Rush (a World Superyacht Award winner). Elements of the shipyard's more recent T-line have also been incorporated into the design.
"With the FAST50, we wanted to reinterpret Baglietto’s most authentic DNA – that of the large, high-performance aluminium yachts that shaped the shipyard’s history – translating it into a contemporary platform capable of combining performance, comfort and extraordinary liveability," Baglietto chief commercial officer Fabio Ermetto previously explained.
The yacht's newly unveiled interiors follow a contemporary design language centred on teak, lacquered surfaces and "burnt" oak finishes. New images reveal the build's modest, earthy colour palette, with pops of red found in artwork and sculptures throughout the living spaces. Detail comes from the range of textured fabrics and materials, combined to create a sense of calm continuity across the decks.
Weight reduction was also a key consideration throughout the project, leading to a restrained use of marble and natural stone, with exterior handrails fabricated from lightweight titanium.
Unlike earlier Baglietto fast yachts, the Fast50 has been developed across three full decks, allowing for a wide-body owner's suite, while below, two large silk-screened hull windows provide natural light while maintaining privacy.
Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in five cabins, comprising the owner's suite, two VIP cabins and two twin cabins. Crew accommodation for nine includes the captain's cabin and four crew cabins with Pullman berths.
One of the yacht's defining features is a two-level stern inspired by the T52 series. Fold-down bulwarks expand the beach club area, while a concealed transformer replaces a traditional passerelle to preserve the yacht's clean profile. Aft, a flooding garage system can launch and recover a tender of up to seven metres, while a second garage is positioned forward.
The upper deck features lounge and sunbathing areas both aft and forward of the wheelhouse, where a Jacuzzi has been positioned at the bow. A three-sided opening veranda aft of the wheelhouse houses a panoramic dining space, while a private rooftop retreat has been created with additional dining and lounging areas.

Numerous automotive-inspired details can also be found throughout the design, including integrated air intakes, stern fairleads modelled on sports car exhausts and a custom "Porsche Chalk" hull finish developed with Italian coatings specialist Boero.
Aside from an impressive top speed, the Fast50 delivers cruising speeds of 24 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles at an economical 12-knot speed.
Exclusive BOATPro data reveals the shipyard has 17 yachts currently under development. Last month, Baglietto confirmed the sale of a new 53-metre superyacht, known as Project53, to a repeat client.
