The boats from the Italian shipbuilder Baglietto are perhaps the most beautiful in the World. Several have called into Symi over the years and last year the island welcomed the stunning Tatiana per Sempre and Gitana. Yesterday, the first of hopefully many boats by Baglietto to visit us this summer, the beautiful Blue Scorpion, moored in Mouragio by Catharinettes.
Blue Scorpion was launched in the summer of 2003. For those you you who like your stats, here they are:
Length (LOA): 42.00 m
Maximum beam: 8.40m
Displacement: 320 tons
Fuel-tank capacity: 70,000 l
Motorization: 2 1,523-HP Deutz TBD 620 V8s
Maximum speed: 16 knots
Cruising speed: 15 knots
Range at cruising speed: 4,500 nautical miles
The interior of Blue Scorpion is as luxurious as you'd expect from a Baglietto creation. Feast you eyes on the photos below and have a read from the text of Superyacht Times that was written at the yacht's launch.
At the Baglietto shipyard, Blue Scorpion, a 42-m motor yacht designed by Francesco Paszkowski, was launched. The hull is of steel and the superstructures of aluminium, the bottom is of the displacing type and there are three decks, plus a fly. The fly deck is very spacious, and features all of the accessories necessary to guarantee the owner and guests the maximum in open-air relaxation, including a Jacuzzi hydro-massage tub and roomy sundecks, a bar corner and, of course, the control station. Beneath the fly bridge, we find the large wheelhouse deck, where the master's cabin is located, equipped with a double bed and private bath.
Towards the stern, there is an open-air relaxation area protected by the stern extension of the fly. On the main deck, we find a full-sized suite forward, equipped with an office corner and a large bathroom with hydro-massage tub and separate toilette area, astern of which is the galley area, with the mess hall for the crew.
The stern area itself is entirely taken up by the spacious saloon. There is a sofa area equipped with numerous accessories for relaxation, and a dining area, with a table that can seat 10 people comfortably. The cockpit, accessed from here, has even more space for relaxation, and is furnished with sofas and coffee tables. The lower deck houses the guest cabins in the central area and service rooms forward, where the crew cabins and the holds are also located.
The guests enjoy large double cabins with private bathrooms, as well as two cabins with twin beds, also with private bathrooms. The crew quarters are suitably isolated and independent, so that the owner and guests have all the privacy they need.
Aesthetically, the Baglietto 42-m Blue Scorpion has a superstructure with sleek, modern lines, designed by Paszkowski with the obvious intention of creating an exclusive yacht.
Whatever Paszkowski's intention on exclusivity at the time, Blue Scorpion was destined to become the first of at least two (to date) yachts from Baglietto to bear the name, a larger (53 meter) and more luxurious version taking to the waters in 2006. The first to bear the name is now in some circles being refered to as the ex-Blue Scorpion and I hope that it's owners resist the urge to rename it.
The original Blue Scorpion was recently on the market...for an asking price of 14,900,000 euros...and was available for inspection in Marmaris, Turkey.
Let's hope that we see more of Blue Scorpion in the future, both the 2003 and 2006 versions.

Indeed, not often does a sub-50m yacht get onto the YachtSpot, but this one's rather pretty.
