The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>.

This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould.

Italian builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> has unveiled the first details of its 53-metre superyacht concept P53, developed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">The Italian Sea Group</a>'s Research &amp; Development Department and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> Centro Stile. The concept inaugurates the shipyard's P-Fleet series, offering a contemporary interpretation of the historic Picchiotti brand, while remaining below 500 GT.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400402/image/large-629a01f1b1d53068e2ffcc21ae4e1e9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400402">The P53 represents the latest evolution of the brand, signalling a departure from its more classically inspired Gentleman Fleet. The yacht embodies a more architectural design language that prioritises openness and flexibility, redefining contemporary living on the water with spaces that adapt to the modern explorer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400401/image/large-2d914901251569fc76058ca561fd1aeb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400401">With a 10-metre beam, the vessel will be built with an aluminium hull and superstructure. According to the shipyard, the P53 has been conceived to combine generous onboard volumes with efficient operation, creating a yacht that balances privacy, comfort and long-range cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400403/image/large-36bcc075c51630f0cecd5cfd074ecf08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400403">Outside, P53 is defined by a near-plumb bow, a sweeping glazed superstructure and expansive dark glazing that seamlessly connect the decks. Spacious aft decks, uninterrupted walkaround side decks and generous lounge areas reinforce the yacht's emphasis on outdoor living, while a resort-style beach club with fold-down platforms extends into a waterside terrace, highlighting a swimming pool.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400405/image/large-4a99c6acfa5d31b71e87d9f9800ad71f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400405">The relationship between the yacht and the sea is central to the concept. The beach club, folding terraces, generous glazing and continuity between the interior and exterior are intended to create what the shipyard describes as "a concrete, physical and daily experience".<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400407/image/large-df6f37ceff582b3ba3416646a1eb6694.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400407">Inside, P53 embraces a warm, minimalist aesthetic of natural wood finishes, textured fabrics and sculptural furnishings with floor-to-ceiling windows letting in abundant natural. An open-plan main saloon revolves around a floating staircase, while the owner's suite benefits from direct access to a private courtyard-style terrace. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400406/image/large-daa53d1228baa068e244354e309f4f7c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400406">Designed for adaptability, the P53’s living spaces are able to meet the changing needs of the owner. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> has seamlessly integrated areas for wellness, entertainment and relaxation, allowing the yacht to effortlessly flow between being a private retreat and a vibrant social space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400404/image/large-8354e2677bb64acf4a596db00ac68776.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400404">Staying under the 500 GT threshold was a conscious design choice. This enables P53 to offer generous interior volumes without sacrificing efficiency or ease of handling, all while certifying guests feel truly connected to the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400400/image/large-f8ca43db82233000306fc926c7ac9212.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400400">With an interior volume of 499 GT, accommodation onboard is arranged for up to 12 guests across six staterooms, alongside quarters for 10 crew members across five quarters.In terms of performance, the P53 is projected to propel at a top speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.

Alternatively, variable-speed generators can adjust their output based on the onboard load requirements in order to limit fuel consumption.Her batteries are complete with a ‘peak-shaving’ function, avoiding the need for activating a second or third generator during short-term load peaks. In addition, the batteries ensure the yacht can continue running even in the event of a temporary loss of shore power, preventing blackouts.
