The Baia B50′ represents an icon of 1980s nautical design, symbolizing excellence and innovation from the renowned Naples-based shipyard. This model, one of the largest and most celebrated successes of its era, distinguished itself not only through numerous victories in international competitions but also by marking a turning point in the production philosophy of Baia Yachts. The hull, designed by the renowned engineer Don Aronow, ensured superior performance and high onboard comfort, also capturing the U.S. market thanks to its exceptional versatility and reliability.
The new B50' maintains the luxury and comfort features of its predecessor, enhanced with innovative elements and high-quality details that further elevate its excellence. The owner's cabin, centrally located amidships, is illuminated by large lateral windows, creating a bright and refined environment, and includes a dedicated bathroom with a separate shower enclosure. The forward VIP cabin features dual access to the bathroom, allowing it to be reached both from the cabin itself and from the main salon, thus ensuring practicality and privacy from the main living area.
The layout arrangement, with a bar separating the kitchen from the lounge, combined with expansive windows and skylights on the deck, creates a bright and welcoming ambiance, enhanced by high-quality finishes and meticulously crafted details.
Compared to the previous model, the length has been increased from 4.20 meters to 4.60 meters, with a particular focus on understated, minimalist luxury. The deep V hull, with smooth contours and a sharp bow, has been designed to optimize speed and handling while maintaining the elegant lines characteristic of the classic 1980s open models. It incorporates advanced technological solutions typical of modern fast commuter vessels. Careful engineering has also significantly reduced overall weight, promoting high performance and low fuel consumption, aligned with environmental sustainability.
The engine, composed of latest-generation turbocharged diesel units with common rail technology, is lightweight, compact, and electronically controlled, further enhancing the vessel's performance and efficiency. The hull construction employs vacuum-infused lamination techniques with epoxy resins, ensuring lightweight strength and complete resistance to osmosis. This technology also isolates operators from harmful styrene emissions, elevating safety and sustainability standards.
