If you follow Mediterranean summers, you know Baglietto. The La Spezia yard has a reputation for building yachts that hold their line long after fashion moves on. Antalis, launched in 2007 and now listed at EUR 12,500,000 with EU VAT paid, is the latest proof. She will be at anchor during the Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show, which is exactly where a serious buyer should see a yacht like this: in natural light, with the sound of shore tenders knocking on carbon fenders and the glow of afternoon sun on brushed steel.
At 47.9m, Antalis sits in the sweet spot for private use and charter. Studio Arnaboldi drew the exterior, all purposeful shoulders and clean sheer, while Della Role Design handled the interiors. Hull in steel, superstructure in aluminium. The mix gives her long-legged capability with the crisp profile that defined Italian big-boat design of the mid-2000s. Step aboard and the material language is classic Mediterranean: broad teak decks warm underfoot, white upholstery picked out by stainless detailing, and shaded seating areas that feel civilised rather than cavernous.
Volume matters. Antalis comes in at 635GT, which means spaces feel like rooms rather than corridors. The sundeck is the social centre, with a raised jacuzzi for wind-in-the-hair afternoons and an open dining area where you hear cutlery and spray in equal measure. A large swim platform turns the stern into a waterside terrace. The effect is quiet luxury, not flash. Morning coffee on the aft deck with the wash lapping the steps is the right picture here.
Accommodation is for 10 across five cabins. The master has private access to the main deck, a small but meaningful point for anyone who values a quiet exit for a dawn swim or a late call. The remaining cabins are two doubles and two twins, which gives multi-generational families and close-knit groups workable flexibility. There is no refit narrative declared, so the design era is 2007. For some, that reads as patina and restraint. For others, it is a canvas for an update. Either way, the bones are strong.
Performance is honest. Twin Caterpillar engines deliver 16 knots at the top and an easy 14 knots on passage. The stated range is 6,000 nautical miles, fed by 132,000 litres of fuel. That number shifts the conversation from coastal weekending to real itineraries. Think West Med now, then winter positioning if you wish, with the low thrum of the engines settling into a steady, reassuring note at cruising speed. She is MCA compliant and built to Lloyd’s Register, which speaks to operational discipline as much as comfort.
Pricing deserves a sober look. At EUR 12.5m for 635GT, you are around EUR 20,000 per gross ton, VAT paid. In a market where sub-50m steel yachts with genuine range often come tethered to complex tax positions, that matters. The year is 2007, which puts her among a cohort of Italian builds that have aged well on the outside and invite selective modernisation within. The cultural point is this: not every buyer wants the social signal of a new build. Some prefer a proven platform with character and paperwork in order.
Baglietto’s T-Line 48 is a known quantity to captains and managers, which tends to simplify ownership. Above 500GT you gain presence and interior breadth. You also accept the crew and compliance reality that comes with that scale. Antalis appears built for owners who travel with friends and expect their yacht to be a house at sea, not a sculpture. The details support that reading, from multiple seating groups that create pockets of privacy to deck heights that let air move and conversations carry at a normal tone.
The timing is right. Listing ahead of Cannes and Monaco puts Antalis in front of buyers who have been circling all summer. See her at anchor. Watch how she sits in a swell. Note the way light breaks across the hull at golden hour. Then look at the spec sheet and the classification stamps. If the brief is Mediterranean family cruising with the option of distance, this is a rational, grown-up candidate.
The conclusion is simple. Antalis is not chasing fashion. She offers volume, range and the reassuring geometry of a Baglietto hull at a price that reads cleanly once VAT is considered. For an owner who values substance over novelty, that is exactly the point.
