Project: Baia One Hundred

A project for a new model from this builder is always a bit of a news, as it is on the conservative side of things in presenting additions to it's range, having on average added models every 2 years. Expected but also challenging is the important size of the new Baia which will be a hundred footer Super Sport Yacht or as the title for the project says One Hundred. It will be the new Baia flagship, but not the biggest built by the Naples builder as it did deliver a one off 105 footer flybridge yacht in the nineties. The renderings for the new One Hundred follow what this builder offered in the last decade, that of improving its classic design into new borders of innovation and comfort, without boundaries, transforming and joining areas as the client would wish at the moment. Among the most interesting practical innovations for the Hundred looks to be the forward deck area, which is connected to the interior through an innovative opening at the bow. The new big Baia will be powered by latest generation twin MTU 16V2000 M93 delivering 2450hp each with Arneson Surface Drives propulsion, of which this builder has a special experience for using and taking out the best potential from. At this stage it is just about the wait to see the new Baia flagship for real, which as a passionate I hope very soon.
