The Blue Wake™ programme, independently assessed by Water Revolution Foundation, identifies products, services, and innovations with demonstrated environmental impact.

Your guide to the event  Image courtesy of Baglietto. By Nermin A., Editor Monte-Carlo, Principality of MONACO - The 2026 Monaco Yacht Show is one of the most anticipated events in the yachting calendar, highlighting the innovation, luxury, and expertise that define this global gathering. Among highlighted news we are excited about the appointment of IGY Marinas as the operator of IL Monte Galala Marina, developed by Tatweer Misr on Egypt’s Red Sea, which will highlight the partnership’s role in the development of the Red Sea as an international yachting destination. Furthermore Baglietto returns to the Monaco Yacht Show, taking place through September 26, with two world premieres: Kinda II, the first hull in the new T60 line, and the first yacht in the new FAST50 series. While ULYSSIA marks its most significant milestone to date: the official order of the 323-metre residential superyacht, with the build secured with China Merchants Cruise Shipbuilding (CMCS). Frank Binder and CEO Alain J. Gruber, together with lead architect Espen Øino, will come together for an exclusive panel discussion, offering new insight into this defining milestone, the decision behind this exciting new chapter, and what lies ahead as ULYSSIA moves closer to her maiden voyage in 2031, departing from her home port of Monaco. Two yachts that embody different expressions of the same shipyard philosophy are world premieres by Baglietto. The T60 marks a return to the refined performance that has shaped Baglietto’s heritage, while the FAST50 introduces a new interpretation of life at sea, centered on generous volumes, natural light and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Both yachts feature exterior and interior design by Francesco Paszkowski Design, with the interiors developed in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. Naval architecture is by Pier Luigi Ausonio. “For Baglietto, the Monaco Yacht Show has always been much more than an international showcase. It is where we choose to share our vision with an increasingly discerning clientele—one that places a premium on the quality and integrity of the design,” says Diego Michele Deprati, CEO of Baglietto. “It is an opportunity to express, through our yachts, the future we are building: a future in which innovation and tradition are not opposing forces, but complementary languages of the same identity. For us, innovation means looking ahead without ever losing sight of where we come from. It is through the balance between heritage and contemporary design, emotion and technology, elegance and performance, that we continue to build the value of a brand that has been part of Italian yachting history for more than a century—and that today looks to the future with the same ambition that has always defined it.” “Baglietto’s presence at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show is particularly significant,” adds Fabio Ermetto, Chief Commercial Officer. “We are presenting two world premieres that, through very different design languages, showcase the extraordinary versatility of our shipyard. The T60 embodies Baglietto’s vision of a new contemporary luxury, centered on the freedom to experience the sea, the quality of the spaces and an increasingly fluid and personal approach to life on board. The FAST50, meanwhile, revisits and reinterprets one of the most iconic elements of Baglietto’s DNA: speed, performance, a distinctly sporty character and the high-performance vocation that has shaped some of the most important chapters in our history.” Two very different yachts, yet united by the same ambition: to elevate the yachting experience through distinctive design, innovative solutions and an uncompromising focus on quality. This ability to explore new directions while preserving a strong and recognizable identity is one of Baglietto’s greatest strengths today.  Royal Huisman’s 85m / 280ft Project 410 approaches launch.
