Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 28'3" beam and a 8'10" draft. The yacht has an internal volume of 440 GT (Gross Tonnes).
This was the first yacht built on the EXP 43 design. Launched in July 2024 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in September 2024.
Exterior Design
With her striking 43m (141ft) profile, Babbo has the unmistakable presence of a true explorer yacht. Her exterior lines, drawn by Francesco Paszkowski, have been carefully sculpted to give a sense of strength and elegance, with a purposeful stance that hints at her ocean-going capabilities. Built with a robust steel displacement hull and an aluminium superstructure, she sits at approximately 440 gross tonnes, with a gross tonnage just under 499GT. Her naval architecture, developed by Hydro Tec, prioritises excellent seakeeping and long-range efficiency.
Outdoor living is central to Babbo's design, with expansive deck spaces thoughtfully arranged to offer both privacy and connection with the sea. The open aft deck features generous sunbathing areas where guests can relax in comfort, surrounded by open views. A large beach club sits at the aft end of the lower deck, fitted with a sauna and hammam, and opens directly onto the swim platform - an ideal spot for lounging close to the water. This area also includes a convenient day toilet.
Water toys and tenders are stowed forward on the upper deck, where jet skis are tucked neatly into their own compartment. A separate chase boat is on hand for coastal trips and smooth transfers ashore. The main and upper deck saloons are framed by large glass sections, enhancing the flow between indoor and outdoor areas and drawing natural light deep into the yacht throughout the day.
Interior Design
Francesco Paszkowski Design oversaw the interior styling, aiming for a refined look that stays approachable. Natural light plays a leading role, particularly in the upper deck saloon, which is surrounded by expansive glass, giving it the character of a veranda. This space connects guests to the outside world even when the weather isn’t ideal for being out on deck.
A sense of balance has been maintained throughout the layout, with functional spaces given just as much care as guest areas. On the lower deck, a large galley is paired with a well-sized crew mess and laundry, designed to ensure smooth onboard operations. Every area has been purposefully considered - nothing is added for decoration alone. Each detail serves a function.
The main deck benefits from a wide-body configuration forward, allowing for generous interior volume and well-proportioned guest cabins. The open-plan saloons across both main and upper decks mirror the yacht’s exterior concept of spaciousness and continuity, maintaining visual connection with the sea throughout.
Accommodation
Babbo offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in 6 suites. She is also capable of carrying up to 9 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience. Guest accommodation is laid out to maximise both comfort and consistency. The main deck forward houses four large double guest suites, all nearly identical in size and outfitting. This symmetry ensures no compromises are made between guests. On the lower deck, two additional twin guest cabins are positioned amidships, rounding out the six-cabin layout.
The forward section of the lower deck holds four twin crew cabins along with spacious crew areas, including a dedicated mess and laundry. The Captain’s cabin sits on the upper deck, conveniently adjacent to the wheelhouse for direct access during navigation. In total, the crew quarters support up to eight personnel.
Performance & Capabilities
Powered by twin diesel Caterpillar (C32 Acert) 1,000hp engines, motor yacht Babbo is capable of reaching a top speed of 14 knots, and comfortably cruises at 10 knots. With her 15,850 gallon fuel tanks she has a maximum range of 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots.
