The yachting world is one of the narrowest niches in the luxury market, as well as one of the most demanding and complex contexts a designer can deal with. In the yachting world, technical skills, creative or design qualities are relevant and fundamental. However, they are not the only significant elements. In fact, cultural background, knowledge of the art market and luxury trends, empathy and interpersonal relationship qualities also contribute to a yacht designer’s success. Nautical design imposes numerous challenges. For this reason, Baglietto launched the Talent Program in Nautical Design. The program consists of a sequence of workshops oriented to train new generations of nautical designers, who draw experience from Baglietto’s expertise and its network of professionals, in order to provide useful elements to enhance their professional career.

Design workshop
Francesco Paszkowski / Francesco Paszkowski Design
The design workshop is the crucial moment when students have the opportunity to apply the skills acquired in the other modules to a real project. The main objective is to design the interior of a yacht or houseboat, taking inspiration from Baglietto’s distinctive style and values. In this workshop, students will explore new creative horizons, seeking innovative solutions that integrate aesthetics and ergonomics. The goal is to create a unique environment that reflects the brand’s identity, combining luxury and functionality. Through this challenge, students will develop advanced financial planning skills in the context of naval design, achieving high-quality results.
Prototyping and Commercialisation
At the end of the design workshop part, also with reference to the type and nature of the designed projects, the most deserving students will be given the opportunity to continue their collaboration with the shipyard and its partners, through a period of internship or other form of collaboration, in order to prototype and commercialize the designed product lines. Such moment will be an extraordinary opportunity for the designers involved to access highly qualifying professional positions, and to associate their creativity with one of the most prestigious nautical brands in the world, designing the yachts of the shipowners of one of the most appreciated historical brands of made in Italy.
