From 1961 Baia have been a manufacturer of sea going vessels and here we have their one of their master pieces in the award winning Baia 78 Atlantica.
Baia have been a leader in design innovation such as removable hard tops and first for using the Arneson surface drive system coupled with seemingly timeless exterior design.
Being of Italian origin you will immediately see the form governs function when you step aboard, the modern teak decking leads your eyes through the entertainment area of the cockpit and draws your eyes directly to the ultra modern patio door opening system that when opened brings together a beautifully open planed cockpit and saloon perfect for guest party evenings.
There is a convertible sunbed and central located C-shaped settee in the aft cockpit area on entering the saloon through the patio doors you will find an L shaped lounge suite and bar area, further forward you will see the dual helm position located to starboard.
The whole saloon area is beautifully layout with large accommodating windows either side to extract as much natural light into the area and equally good viewing from within when cruising.
Stepping below will bring you to the galley room layout, here you will find a modern crafted cooking area with a metallic feel with an optional area for entertaining if required.
The Master cabin in located mid-ship and is beautifully crafted in light tanned materials and high gloss wood finish, with a spacious en-suite bathroom featuring separated shower.
VIP cabin is located forward and crafted in a similar look and feel to the Master cabin and has a personal en-suite. There is another double berth guest cabin with en-suite head and the crew cabin is located mid-ship and has two bunk berths and a private head.
However as you would expect from vessels of this size there are multi options for layouts and furnishing materials throughout the Baia 78 allowing you to build that personal touch to your craft.
The Baia 78 can be supplied with engines options from MTU, our choice would be the MTU 16V 2000 M93 – 2430 Cv. X 2 Arneson Drive ASD 15 which give the Baia 78 an unrivalled performance for her size, she will hit a top speed just short of 50knots that says a lot for the design of her hull and the set up of those Arneson surface driven propeller system.
Baia have produced a winning formula in the 78 Atlantica, her sleek modern lines beautifully crafted interiors and innovative touches such as the disappearing patio doors place the Baia firmly within top ranks of sports cruiser manufacturers, add this to her blistering performance and sea going capabilities and you have yourself yet another great timeless classic from another Italian boat builder.

Designer Carlo Galeazzi has done a fantastic job, offering an elegant, well-balanced boat with flowing modern lines which, without eye saw excess traditional to the Italian shipyard’s style.
The hull and deck superstructures have been constructed in GRP built over 3 decks the Technema 95 has superb external and internal living areas notable for there elegance and comfort: the flying bridge features a spectacular view all round the yacht and spacious semicircular sofas with comfortable sundecks, so entertaining guests or friends can be a simple affair.
The large bar on the upper deck is equipped with sink, fridge and icemaker. The layout aft of the flybridge includes accommodation for two jet skis or a large tender, while the helm position is situated forward, protected by an efficient windshield. The cockpit provides ample space for a sofa plus a fibreglass table and chairs if required
The interior envisages different custom solutions with options of 4 or 5 cabins. There is a large saloon on the upper deck aligned with the dining area and a table to seat 10, plus a separate zone which can be used as an office or other variations depending on individual requirements, leading on from here you will find yourself in the technology encrusted bridge which comes fully loaded with everything you would expect from a yacht of this size.
Below deck in the 4 cabin layout you will find an owner’s suite with dressing room and spacious bathroom with Jacuzzi or, on request, a hydro-massage shower. Still on the lower deck there is a VIP cabin and 2 double guest cabins, each with private bathroom. The crew’s area is forward and consists of 2 cabins for four persons, with separate bathrooms.
The 5 cabin version envisages two solutions with different compartmentalisation: the first one has the owner’s suite on the upper deck while the pantry area is extended thus leaving more space for the crew’s quarters; in the second version all the cabins are on the lower deck.
The Technema 95 is also rich in instrumentation, both on the internal and flying bridges, with state of the art autopilot, radar, plotter, etc.. The standard accessories too are high level with hot/cold air-conditioning in all the rooms and plasma TV in the saloon and cabins. In the saloon an electrically controlled mechanised system slides away a large painting to reveal a flat TV screen set flush to the wall.
As for the décor, it is left to the owner to choose an architect for the highest level of customisation. The first three boats produced, for example, bore the signatures of two different specialists: the first was by Reberberi and the others by Carlo Trezzi. As you would expect from any top custom yacht projects the owner can adapt the vessel to his tastes in the choice of woods and materials: cherry, maple or stained oak, marble, broadloom, fabrics and bathroom fixtures.
For the bathroom floors you can choose practical teak or go for marble, while the most demanding customers may opt for mosaics, another decidedly exclusive alternative which, obviously, does not come under standard accessories but will give that individual feel to their yacht.
Posillipo offer a pair of 2x24000hp MTU engines that will give the Technema 95 and impressive Top speed of 31 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots.
Carlo Galeazzi has produced an inspiring yacht in the Technema 95 incorporating elegance, comfort and technology to produce a beautiful peace of Italian yacht design and building.
