New Model: Baia One Hundred

In the renowned Gulf of Baia, Naples, Antonio and Roy Capasso, CEO and marketing director for yacht builder Baia, the Saturday 15Th November presented there latest most important creation to journalists, clients and friends: the much waited One Hundred, new modern flagship of over 100 feet that adds to the expanding range of the Neapolitan builder. The new model represents an important step for Baia and the whole Neapolitan nautical industry, considering this as the first 100 feet plus super yacht entirely build in Naples. Baia is admired for going against the current international crisis hitting the globe, with the builder managing to realize a total quality Super Sport Yacht, and also crediting itself in having an actual order book of 24 million Euros. A much wanted Baia decision was to present the One Hundred in its place of built in Naples, where a lot has been invested on people and materials to make this product among the best in the World. The One Hundred is a very innovative yacht and although its super dimensions, the philosophy of the boat remains unchanged since Baia in 1976, opted to produce luxurious fast open cruisers and yachts, with undisputed comfort and sea kindliness in any condition. One Hundred in fact, joins the tradition of Baia with a constant research, to create an open from bow to stern, with maximum use of all spaces, for a yacht signed by Carlo Galeazzi for the design, Alberto Ascenzi engineering and builder Baia for the concept. Light plays the important role on the new big Baia, thanks to the use of glass that like a crystal form the superstructure, permitting the owner and his guests to live a constant natural view with the outside in line with the concept of an open. The spoiler of the One Hundred is located aft as possible, allowing for the traditional big Baia foredeck, which permits to have an extra living to fore, connected to the yachts thanks to an innovative central glass door. The stern area is also full of innovative spaces, and once inside the hardtop, one is welcomed in the living of the yacht full of settees, dinettes, furniture with hiding up and down TVs and triple settee helm station. To keep with the undisputed performance fame of Baia, pushing the 80 tons of the One Hundred is from a standard twin MTU 2430hp engines with Arneson surface drives propulsion, but for those in desire of more speeds there is also a triple engine option with the same power, or a twin more powerful MTU 3510hp each, which should give maximum speeds of 50 knots. As is natural from Baia great attention was given to the hull design: with the technical office doing numerous research and engineering, on the static and floating of the hull, along with minimum water resistance above 35 knots, giving maximum comfort during navigation. The extreme attention to the design has permitted Baia to offer innovative solutions that are becoming the trademark for its builds, as presented in the latest models, but most importantly in this new big flagship. For example getting into the saloon hard top, can be done from four different areas, which are the two side doors to port and starboard, innovative central fore entrance, and the aft patio door which as seen on smaller Baia if desired can be open completely by disappearing up top, making the saloon and aft deck a whole entertainment area. Accommodation on the lower living deck is unsuspectingly spacious when one observers the fluid and aggressive lines of the hull. To aft the One Hundred has the crew cabin with two cabins: a double and two single, both with en suite heads and joined by a fully equipped galley. To fore in the lower deck we have the owner and guests living quarters, which is composed of four cabins all with spacious shower heads, offering a very spacious full beam mid ship owners cabin, two sister cabins with two single berths in between and the VIP guest cabin to fore.
