41m Baglietto superyacht Matrix on the market 

The 41.15-metre Baglietto yacht Matrix has entered the market with Brandon Barnes of Denison Yachting and Riccardo Solci of OneWater Yacht Group. 


Francesca Webster sits down with father and son design duo Georges and Stefano Vafiadis to find out how the pair have created a beautiful design synergy and launched over 40 yachts in the process.&nbsp;While an increasing number of yacht design studios deal with uncertainty regarding leadership succession, the family behind <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/76" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vafiadis (Company)">Studio Vafiadis</a> appears to have set itself up for a smooth transition.&nbsp;In the 12 years since joining his father’s design house, Stefano Vafiadis has evolved from designer to partner. He now leads the creative arm of the company while his father Georges manages the business and oversees the projects. Francesca recently sat down with the duo over video call, with them in their green and sunlit studio in the heart of Rome, Francesca from the banks of the grey and blustery IJ in Amsterdam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334982/image/large-9a918c3210381b01c5609b4ee4f7d413.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334982"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/76" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vafiadis (Company)">Studio Vafiadis</a> was founded in Rome in the 1980s where Georges had been working as a designer after his studies, first in National Monument Restoration for UNESCO and then at an industrial design firm that introduced him to yacht design. Launching his first yacht Gran Mudder&nbsp;in 1983, the success of the studio quickly took off, launching many large yachts through the 1980s.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/36750/image/large-72633b07831ae8833f8c016af424cebd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/36750">In 1994, the studio launched the 28.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A.

Over the decades, Georges and subsequently Stefano, have fostered long standing relationships with two key partners <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A.

Georges explains, “With Mr Dragis we share a cultural heritage which has helped foster a close bond over the years. “The first yacht I designed for him was the 42-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/311" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jaan42.0m (137'10&quot;)Intermarine S.p.A.1997">O’Pari</a> built at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/228" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intermarine S.p.A.

Launched in 2023, she is the first of the fleet to feature a straight bow, offering her a contemporary profile that helps her stand out from her predecessors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297986/image/large-d9e0e546e4c5d78ec02335bd764e3054.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297986"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334985/image/large-7784dc2b9b6c1ba7f7c696d0c2a20dfa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334985">For the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/76" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vafiadis (Company)">Studio Vafiadis</a>, the opportunity to design something different allowed them to play with the volume and lines of the yacht, Stefano explains: “As John <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg</a> taught us, yacht design is all about balancing volumes. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11076" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Malia77.7m (254'11&quot;)Golden Yachts Ltd.2023">Malia</a> offered us an opportunity to create a lot of volume in the hull, with her straight bow and wide beam, and this allowed us to create a sleek and sexy profile that creates a sporty aesthetic. While all of the yachts feature spacious beach clubs, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11076" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Malia77.7m (254'11&quot;)Golden Yachts Ltd.2023">Malia</a> is a step above. She also features technological advancements on her predecessors with her enclosed anchoring, disappearing swim platform and hydraulic shell doors.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334986/image/large-fd44cec649f53ee5dfce2206ecdad07d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334986">Balancing timeless design with modern attributes sits at the heart of the studio’s mentality. Many of Georges’ early yachts remain contemporary even decades after their launch. When it comes to the stylistic thread that flows between their yachts, Stefano explains that there is no ‘copy and paste’ mentality; “We always begin with a blank sheet of paper, we like new challenges. In every stage we reflect on the experience that comes from my father and our designers, but we use that experience to start from scratch, and to inform our designs.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/189378/image/large-2fc774c2226c639d353750a5499144d8.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/189378">While upholding his father’s legacy, and collaborating as true partners remains a priority for Stefano, he has nonetheless made his own mark on the business in recent years. &nbsp;It was in fact Stefano that &nbsp;directed the studio’s more recent and increasingly successful partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a>, which was restarted in 2017 with the DOM Line. At the time the DOM series was created with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/863" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cerri & Associati (Company)">Cerri</a> shipyard, which was later absorbed into Baglietto in 2020, taking the DOM series with it, the first hull of which was the 37-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7953" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Run Away37.3m (122'5&quot;)Cerri Cantieri Navali (CCN)2021">Run Away</a> launched in 2021.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/189379/image/large-53fb0795846d013637eae57d082d442f.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/189379"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7953" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Run Away37.3m (122'5&quot;)Cerri Cantieri Navali (CCN)2021">Run Away</a> was only the beginning of a fruitful series, and since launching the initial DOM line, 11 hulls have been sold. Today the team are working on a new series announced in the Spring of last year, the 35-metre DOM 115, the first hull of which has been sold and is already in-build. “The 35-metre is an interesting yacht, with a huge amount of volume for her size range and with a closer interaction between the interior and exterior spaces than any other yacht on the market,” explains Stefano. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/189399/image/large-8c6c5172356eb759230edf856ba941c4.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/189399">This interior-exterior interaction has become an increasing focus for yacht design over the last few years and Stefano believes that social media has played a major role in this development. “The demands of owners and the perspective of yachting has changed a lot since the advent of social media. In the past the attention was all about the yacht as an object to be admired and be looked at, today the focus is on the lifestyle that can be enjoyed onboard. For designers this has opened many doors and allows us to focus on the space as a living, breathing thing,” he comments.With this change, owners are more focused on silence than speed, and on efficiency and stabilisation, considerations that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/76" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vafiadis (Company)">Studio Vafiadis</a> is working hard to bake into all of its projects. When it comes to their clients, much like the shipyards they collaborate with, Georges and Stefano are dedicated to fostering long term relationships and many of their clients have worked with them for decades. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/185111/image/large-96bfd3ddcee28b12c643c368543da19e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/185111">Georges explains, “Most of our owners are repeat clients, and even our new, younger clients are already discussing their next project. For us these relationships are extremely important and we work hard to keep the client happy. It is not our role to make decisions for them, we see ourselves as expert advisers who are there to answer their questions, ensure projects go smoothly, and ultimately to deliver the final product that they are looking for.”This client-first approach is also something that has helped to inform the legacy of the studio. Stefano’s gradual development within the team has allowed him to build his own personal relationships with those long standing clients. Stefano adds, “Our partnership is at the heart of the studio today, there is a continuous dialogue between us, and I believe it is a very beautiful and unusual collaboration. For our clients it represents stability and gives them confidence that their future projects will be treated with the same level of care in the future, as they have been in the past by my father.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/214571/image/large-329cea9cd94a541b2184fbcd32260173.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/214571">Both Georges and Stefano are looking to the future with excitement and positivity. This September they will be sharing more details about the DOM 115. With 10 projects under construction, they are set to be extremely busy.This story and more are published in Issue 50 of the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper" target="_blank">SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>, out now!

Blue Ice in the Caribbean 

Certainly one of the most unusual-looking superyachts out there, Blue Ice recently changed her look to become even more distinctive now sporting a new black exterior. The once all-silver 41-metre superyacht was built in 1999 by Baglietto in Varazze, Italy. Aldo Cichero is behind her spaceship-like exterior lines and her minimalistic interior is the work of studios Cerri &amp; Associati and Porfiristudio from Milan. Often seen around the South of France, here Blue Ice is seen in the Caribbean this past winter season.
