Inside the 48m family friendly Baglietto Silver Fox

Spec-built but created with character, the second Baglietto 48 metre T-line is an active family’s platform for play. Risa Merl feels the fun factor on board Silver Fox .

Semi-custom yachts exist along a spectrum: at one end are those with identical exteriors that share a technical platform, with differences only appearing in the interior style and perhaps the layout. At the other end, you will find more flexible experiments in semi-custom building. These are yachts that start off with a set design but which can be modified to try out new ideas in space planning, facilities and even exterior styling.

At this far-flung, creative edge of the spectrum, the result is often two sisterships that are anything but identical twins. The 47.6 metre Silver Fox is the second in the Baglietto T-Line 48 series, yet she stands apart from hull No 1, Andiamo – which itself was launched in 2017 as an update on the Baglietto 46 series. The changes seen on Silver Fox are notable and purposeful, from expanded glazing and a refined exterior profile to completely relocating the tender storage in order to add a beach club.

“We want to be more flexible than everybody,” says Michele Gavino, CEO of Baglietto , who speaks of creating “flexible platforms” in which a series can be further customised to a specific owner. The T-Line 48 typifies this ideal: Andiamo was ordered by an owner and customised to his needs from the beginning, whereas Silver Fox began on spec, which allowed the yard to upgrade its second offering, basing the changes on client feedback and studying the competition.

“Everyone is looking for natural light, everyone wants to be near the sea,” says Gavino. The Italian builder took feedback from owners and enhanced these priorities on the 48 series. Andiamo’s aft tender garage has been done away with on Silver Fox to create a proper beach club – outfitted with a bar, gym and steam room – by moving all tender and toy storage to forward on the upper deck. The exterior lines of the T-Line 48, created by long-time Baglietto collaborator Francesco Paszkowski , were changed as well – windows were enlarged and extended from floor to ceiling. This redefined the yacht’s profile, especially on the bridge deck where the glass has been extended, creating a hexagonal shape, with this geometric motif continued in Silver Fox’s interior design.

Gavino took on the role of an owner during the build and helped guide the brief. This provided a more personal touch and also challenged the in-house design team, which created the yacht’s interior. “I try to be the naughty guy in some way, giving tough critiques,” says Gavino. “I put myself in the owner’s shoes and question if what we’re doing is really the best way to do it.”  Silver Fox also breaks the mould by being the first spec-built Baglietto to feature interior design from the builder’s in-house team. “It’s the first we’ve done entirely in-house since I joined the company, and I wouldn’t do it on a prototype, but we know this platform well,” he says.

The eventual owner of hull No 2 bought her before the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show, allowing him to take delivery soon after she appeared there. He had a vision for the yacht he wanted but didn’t care to spend three years creating it. His ideal yacht would have Italian heritage, a bright interior, ample outdoor spaces to suit his family’s active lifestyle and foster a strong connection to the sea.

Silver Fox’s owner and his family have, over the years, had many Italian-built yachts, from yards such as Sanlorenzo and Azimut , as well as a refitted Benetti . Working with Edmiston , they visited several yards in search of their new yacht, focusing on marques with pedigree rather than new brands that didn’t have quite such a proven track record. The yard had to have history, and while spec-built was fine, it shouldn’t be completely standard. “Baglietto has one of those brand names that you know. And they’ve built some iconic boats, like Cavalli’s,” says Silver Fox’s owner, referring to the striking 40-metre yacht now named Ability , built for fashion designer Roberto Cavalli.

The T-Line 48 ticked all the boxes. “What was attractive about this yacht was the phenomenal outdoor space and the very modern, bright interior,” says the owner. “Also, it comes from a yard with pedigree.” The owner visited the shipyard frequently at the end of construction. “He seemed amazed we had designed a boat that in many ways was perfect for him,” Gavino says. “He was excited when he saw the colours, materials and layout. We found a common bond.”

Building a yacht with the owner “to be determined” always requires a careful balance. It must have mass appeal, yet be distinctive enough to intrigue a potential buyer. “Considering it was built on spec, it had to be something special but also something that everyone can feel comfortable in,” says Francesca Attuoni, interior designer with Baglietto’s technical department, who was responsible for the interior of Silver Fox . “We tried to create a very homely space.”

The interior features cosy and intimate living areas, perfectly formed to take in the sweeping vistas seen through the expanses of glazing on the main and upper decks. Instead of a vast open-plan main deck, the living space is split in two with a saloon aft and dining room forward, while a stand-up bar greets guests upon entry from the aft deck. Neutral tones were employed to play to a wide audience, but this palette also creates a welcoming, bright space.

The main saloon has a thick, cream carpet and a comfortable white L-shaped sofa. Twin armchairs to port take in views from the large windows, which, as on the upper deck, are full height. The bulwark outside is sculpted and slim to allow for views while seated in the saloon. The circular coffee table, with its bronze legs, helps establish an interior theme of updated mid-century cool, with plenty of metal detailing.

Before signing on the dotted line, the owner had considered brokerage boats, but was turned off by the excessive dark wood panelling – and he wasn’t keen on a refit either. In Silver Fox , he found the light, modern interior he was after. The interior designer chose “very typical Italian woods” – Italian walnut for the walls and Canaletto walnut for the floor. Wall surfaces vary from wood to white fabric and even wallpaper made to look like leather with fine gold flakes.

The dining room is divided from the saloon only at the centre, allowing each space to feel private but connected. This wall is a spectacle in itself, adorned with a smoked mirror and bespoke brass artwork with angular cutwork designed by Attuoni. The dining table, in tobacco brown marble, is made up of different triangular cuts of stone, pieced together. Sensibly, the forward bulkhead wall is designed with plentiful storage for dinnerware.

As the yacht was nearly finished by the time she was sold, there wasn’t a chance for the owner to put his stamp on the interior details. Luckily this hasn’t been a problem. “We like modern styling and this was to our design taste. It even had furniture brands that we’d have in our house, such as Flexform,” says the owner of Silver Fox . “It could have been done by us, but wasn’t.”

The decorative nature of the walls doesn’t allow much space for art to be hung, but the owner has brought in glass and ceramics to personalise things. Their attitude to perfecting the boat is pragmatic. The family decided to use the yacht for a year to see what works for them before rushing to make any big changes. This includes taking time to get used to the layout. “Will we actually use the interior dining room?” he ponders. “If we did want to create one space from the saloon and dining room, it’s not difficult to make the change.”

Nor does he mind the snug saloon. Baglietto designed the main deck with a generous crew mess and galley – a major selling point for an owner who lives by the maxim “happy crew, happy guests”. A separate interior passageway and stairs allow the crew easy access to service guest areas, and a dumb waiter goes from the main deck galley to the pantry on the upper deck and on up to the sundeck.

The upper saloon is also an intimate space rather than a grand one. It’s the world outside that draws attention, through those huge windows. The trend towards smaller saloons works well for owners who focus on enjoying life out on deck. On which note, the new beach club suits this family just fine. “We can start playing back on the beach club while the crew are up front pulling off the toys,” says the owner. Some of the family are very keen on keeping up their exercise routine while at sea, so having a gym in the beach club was a perk. The area can be accessed internally, so the space can also be used when under way or quayside.

“I have teenage children – and sisters with children – so this will be a very active boat, not one where we are just smartly sitting inside,” he says. “We have lots of toys and this will be a very fun, informal yacht for family and friends – we’ve bought it to have fun.” The new boat is stocked with plenty of toys, including an electric surfboard, hoverboards, a canoe, paddleboard, a slide and “the two fastest Sea-Doos they make”.

Baglietto is particularly proud of the yacht’s expansive sundeck, a feature that is part of the builder’s DNA. It extends 140 square metres and includes an infinity pool, dining space and sunbathing area. “We love open spaces on board and the connection to the sea,” says the owner. “Our other passion is skiing, and it’s the same idea – it’s just you and the ocean or you and the mountain,” he says.

He describes his yacht as a “moving hotel and a platform for play” and the accommodation is suitably comfortable after a day of merriment on the water. Whereas Andiamo had six cabins, Silver Fox has five with the main deck master and four nicely sized guest cabins on the lower deck. Like the living spaces, the cabins feature light carpets, neutral soft goods and asymmetrically cut inlaid wood walls. If tasked to design the boat from scratch, there are spaces on board the owner might have done differently, such as the lobby to the master suite, where multiple materials and colours collide. “But it actually looks great,” he says. “It’s modern and not too plain.”

The bedroom itself is adorned with smoked mirror detailing and Hermès for Dedar fabric walls. “We wanted the suite to be a soothing space,” says Attuoni, who custom designed the carpet and bedside tables.  Silver Fox’s staircase marks another change from hull No 1. Whereas Andiamo’s staircase was round, this one is angular, with glass partitions used to let light descend to the lobby and cabins below. The top of the stairwell is fitted with coloured lights. “Whimsy, without being too disco,” says Attuoni.

Yet on future hulls, much of this could change if a new owner or the yard sees fit. “If another owner tomorrow proposes other things, they could change, not only in terms of the layout but even the power and the engineering platform,” says Gavino, reaffirming his pledge to flexibility. He mentions another 48 metre that is being built on spec on the same platform, due to launch in 2020, which has seen even more extensive upgrades. “We’ve increased the windows and moved the main saloon to have more natural light,” Gavino says. “We will never stop working on something; our goal is to always keep improving and giving more.”

This sleek yacht is tailor-made for outdoor living, with a vast array of alfresco living spaces from bow to stern dedicated to pure entertainment and relaxation. 

Her inviting interiors are no less impressive, showcasing a neutral scheme with contemporary geometric design features and touches of gold and bronze to add to the overall feeling of luxury and comfort. Her central social hub benefits from glorious floor-to-ceiling windows, ushering in natural light and promoting a deep connection to the sea.

This scheme follows though into her five beautiful cabins, including a full beam main deck Owner's suite offering a peaceful retreat with a private study, walk-in-wardrobe and his and her bathrooms. A further two doubles and two versatile twins with Pullman berths are located on her lower deck.

Onboard highlights include a vast 140m² sundeck replete with a bar, BBQ grill and stunning infinity pool, as well as a fantastic beach club offering a great place to unwind and enjoy the waterside views, which also boasts a steam shower and dedicated gym, as well as a fold-down swim platform providing direct access into the warm Caribbean waters.

This platform also offers the ideal launch pad onto the yacht's array of toys and accessories, including seabobs, jet skis and a flyboard for spectacular on-water fun.

BAGLIETTO SILVER FOX

Built on-spec, hull number two of baglietto’s 48-metre t-line series was developed into what the shipyard regards as the ultimate family-friendly superyacht..

Baglietto built Andiamo, the first of its 48-metre T-Lines back in 2017. It quickly found an owner, and courtesy of its popularity at the European boat shows, the shipyard began building hull number two on-spec. Normally, the second in the family of semi-custom yachts would be virtually the same in layout and specifications to the first, but not so with Silver Fox, as she was thoroughly revised, tweaked and evolved by Baglietto’s creative and technical teams – even the CEO got involved, putting himself in the place of a potential owner.

FRANCO STYLE

With all the excited talk of advancement and layout modifications, one aspect of the 48-metre T-Line that didn’t require much change was Francesco Paszkowski’s exterior styling. It was very much ‘don’t fix what’s not broken’ when it came to Silver Fox’s elegant lines, with Paszkowski subtly altering a number of details. The main visual change is the larger glazing opening on the upper deck lounge. Andiamo’s high bulwarks featured a drop-down balcony, whereas guests can enjoy an unobstructed view from Silver Fox’s upper deck without having to move from the sofa.

LIFE’S A BEACH

The big difference between Andiamo and Silver Fox can be found aft, and at the beach club in particular. As Andiamo’s garage was located aft, her beach club was basically a chair -deep once the transom door had been dropped to create the swim platform. It did the job, but could never be described as magnificent. With Silver Fox, all her watertoys have been moved up to the foredeck, with the garage space now dedicated to either rest and relaxation, making the most of the beach club’s sun loungers and sofas, or for a different kind of ‘glow’, can work off some calories in the gym. It’s a redesign that has totally changed the yacht’s ambience; now the Baglietto’s beach club has become the focal relaxation point on board.

LOUNGING ABOUT

At the top of the beach club stairs, the cockpit houses nine guests in spacious comfort with drinks prepared and served from the bar located behind the main salon’s sliding doors. This is perfectly placed to take care of both indoor and outdoor requests and is a layout detail we’d like to see more of.

The main salon itself has the traditional lounge/dining room split and it feels very homely. As the bar takes up a fair bit of interior space, the lounge area is sandwiched between the huge main salon windows. This means wherever you sit, you can see the ocean (as well as artworks from Arcangelo, Barnils and Velez) and that goes for the dining table too, as that is also placed at the centre of the glazing. This makes for a very light and airy feel – especially so with the design of the sofas and chairs, which are made very much for lazing on, more than sitting on.

Amidships is the considerable crew area. Baglietto has really taken the ‘happy crew, happy yacht’ ethos on board, dedicating a large portion of the main deck to the galley, pantry and a mess room. There are various entry points here, plus a direct stairway to the crew’s living quarters on the lower deck.

OWNER’S CABIN

From the main salon, a starboard side corridor (which features a day head) stretches to the Owner’s Cabin forward. A dressing room and office can be found at the entrance, which can be closed off for business when required. The bedroom itself features an eye catching asymmetrical geometrical pattern that can be seen in the carpet and also the forward divider. This adds movement within the suite, playing with the perspective.

The two doors in the bedroom wall lead to ‘his and hers’ bathrooms. Here the basins and heads mirror each other, meeting in the shower at the centre. Again, asymmetric lines cut a dash across the walls adding a contemporary feel to a classical wood and metal theme.

BELOW DECKS

A shipyard has two choices when it comes to the guest accommodation decor: keep it the same as the main deck, or go for something a little different. For Silver Fox, Baglietto kept the geometrical pattern as ‘upstairs’ but in the smaller confines of the guest cabins, the asymmetrical lines are even more defined. Again, they add movement and space to the lower deck area, which consists of a two VIP and two twin layout. Here, the crew get well looked after too, with the cabins and laundry forward taking up a similar amount of space as the guests’ accommodation.

Heading up the amidships staircase brings you out into the upper deck lobby. To port is yet another pantry, with the wheelhouse forward. Here, the bridge is equipped with Telemar’s intelligent system. Its principle is borrowed from aviation, and the basis is the ability to control all onboard processes using a single interface – even if the equipment is made by different companies. A classic Baglietto wood/metal ‘sports’ steering wheel finishes off the stylish-but-ergonomic bridge, adding to the ‘made in Italy’ feel.

Aft is the cinema room, which – in exactly the same way as the main salon – sits in between the large windows. You can gaze at the seascape below, or concentrate on the 65-inch screen, which courtesy of the room’s compact design, makes the most of the numerous speakers. 

Aft is the upper deck lounge, which features a dining table for ten, sheltered under the sundeck canopy, with sofas and tables making the most of the open skies.

At the top of the upper deck stairs is the sundeck, all 140 metres squared of it. It’s a huge expanse of total relaxation and arguably Silver Fox’s most impressive area. Aft is the glass sided pool, which also has hydromassage ‘seating’ for two. On a hot, sunny day, it would be difficult to move from here, and if you have to, the first set of sunbeds are only a footstep away.

Under the canopy with its sunroofs is a 12-seater dining table that is served by a bar with direct access from the pantry on the upper deck. Loose furniture, including tables, chairs and sunbeds can be found forward, and wherever you sit, the low bulwarks and glass paneling makes admiring the view as straight forward as lying back.

Baglietto already had a solid start with its T-Line, with Andiamo’s popularity proving that the shipyard had the style, layout and luxury pinned down. Building hull number two on-spec, with a number of updates has pushed the series even further forward, turning Silver Fox into a real world class, family-friendly 48-metre. An improved beach club, a massive sundeck and large internal volumes make this Baglietto a very pleasant stay.
