Baltic Yachts Yachts

Baltic Yachts made a reputation building high-tech, semi-custom sailing yachts, but in recent years, it has launched a fleet of custom superyachts by noted naval architects and designers.

Baltic Yachts History

In 1973, five young yacht builders defected from the well-known Finnish shipyard Nautor’s Swan and formed their own company, Baltic Yachts, in the Bosund region of western Finland. Their goal was to become a niche builder of high-quality, high-tech sailing yachts for performance-oriented racing and cruising sailors. To staff their shipyard, they drew from local talent in the region; a shipbuilding centre since the 16th century. The founders’ goal was to build sailing yachts that were “faster, stronger and lighter” than the competition utilising exotic construction materials including carbon fibre and high-tech yacht-building method.

After launching the Baltic 46 and 33 production sailing yacht series, Baltic Yachts delivered its first custom yacht in 1975. Two years later, the shipyard was acquired by Finnish shipbuilder Hollming Ltd., enabling it to expand its marketing efforts worldwide. In 1991, ownership of Baltic Yachts passed back into the hands of key staff members. Today, the principal shareholder is Hans Georg Näder a German industrialist, passionate sailor and serial yacht owner. The shipyard offers semi-custom and custom sailing yachts up to 60+ metres in length

Notable Baltic Superyachts

In 2011, Baltic Yachts launched its largest superyacht to date, the 66.7-metre (including bowsprit) Hetairos . Featuring high-tech carbon construction, Hetairos was co-designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and Reichel Pugh Yacht Design .

Yacht designer German Frers designed the light and lithe, 32.64-metre sloop Inukshuk , which Baltic Yachts delivered in 2013. Inukshuk has a telescoping keel that lowers from 3.35 metres to 4.85 metres and an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. The yacht received two ShowBoats Design Awards and Sailing Yacht of the Year from the World Superyacht Awards in 2014.

The 108-foot Javier Jaudenes design WinWin swept the awards tables in 2015 grabbing a pair of prizes each from judges of the ShowBoats Design Awards and World Superyacht Awards, as well as top yacht in the 24- 40m category of the International Superyacht Awards. The following year, 115 foot Nikata from the boards of Judel-Vrolijk and Nauta Yachts captured four ShowBoats Design Awards, a Judges Special Award for Design and Performance at the World Superyacht Awards and Best Sailing Yacht in the 24-40m category from the International Superyacht society

In 2016 Baltic delivered the high performance 130 foot My Song designed by Reichel Pugh and Nauta Yachts to owner Pier Luigi Loro Piano. The yacht, in addition to being a podium finisher at many regattas, received 2017 prizes from the World Superyacht Awards, the ShowBoats Design Awards (2) and the International Superyacht Society. The yacht was involved in an accident while being transported in 2020 and declared a total loss.

Baltic’s 54 metre Pink Gin VI is the world’s largest carbon fibre sloop. Built for the yard’s principal owner, the 245-ton, silver sloop features a 71-ton, two-stage lifting keel, a 67.9m carbon fibre Rondal mast and two fold-out terraces. Naval architecture is by Judel-Vrolijk & Co and interior design and styling by Design Unlimited . Pink Gin VI took the WSA title of Sailing Yacht of the Year in 2018.

The 43.3m Canova , a Farr Yacht Design project that features a sliding horizontal foil from Dynamic Stability System, was launched in the summer of 2019. Canova won the World Superyacht Awards sailing yacht of the year title in 2020 and Best Naval Architecture prize from the Design & Innovation Awards judges. In addition to the largest-ever application of the DSS foil, the yacht also features diesel-electric propulsion and a hydro-generator system, all intended to make her greener, quieter, more comfortable and easy to maintain.

Also launched in 2019 was the 34.14 metre Liara designed by Malcolm McKeon and Adam Lay for cruising and occasional regatta sailing. Liara took a Boat International Design & Innovation Awards for both Exterior Styling and Interior Design in 2020

BALTIC YACHTS SERVICE & REFIT SUPPORTING CLIENTS TO ENJOY THEIR YACHTS

Our Service & Refit operation has evolved to become one of the most experienced, trusted and sought after in the yachting industry. Formally established in 2013 in Palma de Mallorca, the epicentre of the Mediterranean yachting scene, it offers a holistic, wide-ranging service benefiting from 50 years of world class yacht building. It recognises owners’ needs for transparent reporting, efficient planning and technical expertise to keep their yachts in first class condition.

Any yacht is welcome, either at Baltic’s new-build facility in Jakobstad, Finland, where a Service & Refit one-stop-shop is available, or at our Palma base, which tends to be the first point of contact.

Located in the STP shipyard, Baltic’s S&R business has benefitted from steady investment since 2013 and now employs more than 30 experts specialising in everything from hydraulics, PLC management and advanced composite work to the highest quality woodworking and electronics skills.

Baltic’s Palma operation is backed by a highly knowledgeable on-site administration team and modern workshops capable of undertaking any project for any yacht.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our experienced team covers every aspect of service and refit, fully supported by the latest new-build technology from our facility in Finland. We work with a range of trusted Mallorca-based suppliers and with the STP shipyard whose world class facilities, including a 1000-ton lift, are unmatched in the western Mediterranean. Upgrading and future-proofing yachts are among our wide range of services, all benefitting from the cutting-edge technology transferred from Finland.

We specialise in making yachts more efficient, more eco-friendly and regulation compliant. For instance, converting to a high-voltage battery system means less generator running time, reduced emissions and longer, battery-only ‘silent’ periods. Fitting the latest air conditioning systems will save space, reduce weight and improve efficiency. Clients are increasingly seeking to upgrade to a hydrogeneration system enabling their yacht’s propeller to drive an electric motor as a generator to charge a modern battery bank.

Our on-site workshops in STP provide everything from engineering and lamination to electronics, PLC management and bespoke cabinetmaking. A modern offsite workshop can undertake substantial projects such as the retro-fitted 40m hardtop bimini for Baltic 175 Pink Gin. A speciality is upgrading and completely re-furbishing interiors. We use our expertise in Finland by building interior modules in our specialist workshops. The interiors are then shipped to Palma for installation and finishing.

WHAT CUSTOMER SAY

Aaron O’Grady, captain 46m Christopher

“I’ve never before come across such complex work carried out to such a high standard” - Aaron O’Grady, Christopher’s captain, on the yacht’s seven-month refit. Matt Dean, who project managed the refit added that Aaron had been immensely impressed with the quality of the work and the multiple skillsets available at Baltic Yachts. Work included a complete, in situ re-build of the main engine, servicing the yacht’s centreboard and re-cladding the superstructure in timber. Both masts were serviced and the yacht was completely re-painted.

Owner of Baltic 67PC Manyeleti

``The service is superb in every way. I have a very good relationship with Jim Wadham (S&R project manager) who makes sure that Manyeleti is always in perfect condition. Jim is fully committed to looking after all aspects of Manyeleti in the best possible way. I’ve been using Baltic’s guardianage service for a couple of years, which means day-to-day maintenance is taken care of and the boat is always ready to go when I arrive in Palma.”

Declan O’Sullivan, manager Swan 100 Onyx

“We are delighted with the results of our cooperation with Baltic Yachts and Evolution Sails in the rebuild of the Swan 100 Onyx” – Declan O’Sullivan of management company Pelagos Yachts. Owner’s representative Siggi Mansaker, said: “A combination of skills had enabled the purchase, setting up of an ownership structure, refurbishment to the highest standards and MCA coding to produce a stunning yacht in a remarkably short time frame.”

Oscar Vallejo, captain Baltic 175 Pink Gin

“I was really impressed with the high standard set on all the planned and unplanned work resulting from our five-year survey. I appreciated the one-to-one client service and Baltic’s ability to seek out alternative solutions when time was against us. Retro-fitting a hardtop to Pink Gin’s large cockpit is a complex challenge, but Baltic took this in their stride and we never got ‘no’ for an answer! Getting everything done on time was impressive and the S&R team certainly met the owner’s expectations.”

HOW WE WORK

The Baltic Family spirit and what it stands for lie at the heart of how we run our Service and Refit business. We promote a policy of transparent reporting, honesty and reliability engendered by an ethos which has proved a real success in Finland. Efficient planning and quick, on-time turnarounds are key to our operation. We benefit from a broad internal operational skill base comprising personnel who have had first-hand experience running yachts, including captains and engineers. Our Finland base is renowned for developing new technology which is immediately available to Service & Refit in Palma.

Taking genuine pride in what we do goes hand in hand with the virtues of honesty and reliability which lie at the heart of the Baltic Family. We want clients to rely on us 100% to get complex work done to the highest standard, on time and at the right price. This attitude is born out of how we operate Baltic Yachts in Finland where we encourage the workforce to be open-minded, forward thinking and not be afraid to suggest how things can be done better.

This is supported by an over-arching desire to innovate, to take full advantage of new technology and tailor it to suit the yachtsman’s needs. This open-minded attitude allows us to be flexible and adaptable so that every task we complete is to the highest standard possible.

WHERE TO FIND US

We’re just a 15-minute drive from Mallorca’s main airport, immediately adjacent to Palma’s historic city centre and overlooked by the famous La Seu cathedral, an iconic local landmark. Our main administration office is located just outside the STP shipyard main gates. Inside STP we have a fully equipped workshop located in the Global Building providing all the services offered in our S&R remit.

We also have a large warehouse on the north dock within STP. Offsite we have developed a purpose-built, multi-discipline workshop at Son Castillo on the outskirts of the main city. Palma is recognised as the superyacht crossroads of the western Mediterranean and is popular with owners, captains and crew because of its excellent transport links, world class city attractions and a concentration of specialist marine businesses.

CHRISTOPHER RE-LAUNCH

Following a seven-month refit at our Jakobstad facility in Finland, the aluminium-hulled, Ron Holland-designed ketch is returned to the water. The yacht underwent a 10-year survey resulting in a detailed schedule of work which included the re-cladding in hardwood of the deck-saloon and coach-roof superstructure

CHRISTOPHER ARRIVES IN JAKOBSTAD

The 46m, 270-ton Christopher arrives in Jakobstad and is lifted to undergo a survey and refit programme. Built in aluminium by Pendennis Shipyard in the UK in 2011, the powerful ketch, which features twin rudders and a centreboard, was re-decked and had her topsides, superstructure and cockpit surfaces re-painted. Video credits: Havator/Jarno Vuorinen

ALONGSIDE IN JAKOBSTAD

We are able to offer a lot of alongside dock space in Jakobstad adjacent to our modern new yacht build facility which also functions as a one-stop-shop for Service & Refit. Here Baltic 112 Liara (foreground) is undergoing routine maintenance and Pink Gin (right) was in Finland for an annual survey having sailing some 69,000 miles since her launch in 2017

BALTIC 38DP FAVORITA GETS A RE-VAMP

The 31-year-old Baltic 38 was lifted out in Jakobstad and transported to our facility in Bosund for an extensive six-month long refit which brought her back to almost new. Erkki Laasonnen has owned Favorita for 25 years and decided it was time for new decks, a paint and varnish job plus other upgrades. The yacht is a great example of sustainability and demonstrates how our Service & Refit operation can rejuvenate a yacht

KEEPING BALTIC 175 PINK GIN REFRESHED

The spectacular, Baltic 175 Pink Gin is a regular visitor to both Jakobstad and Palma de Mallorca where she takes advantage of the services offered by our Service and Refit teams. This video shows one of her approaches to Jakobstad on Finland’s spectacular coastline and a welcome ‘home’, following a transatlantic crossing and regatta racing in the Caribbean

M/Y SUNNY DAY, A CLASSIC MODERNISED

Built in timber in Italy in 1989, Sunny Day has remained in the same family since her launch. While her owners wanted the classic motor yacht brought up to date, they also wanted to retain some of the style and ambience they had enjoyed for more than 30 years. Our Service & Refit team took on the challenge and the result is spectacular
