A yachting enthusiast with deep pockets commissioned an impressive sailing superyacht for extensive cruising and family comfort over a decade ago. In the meantime, like most millionaire superyacht owners, he switched to a bigger and better toy, but the original Path is still as good as new and ready to embark on fresh adventures under its new ownership.
The 2011 Path was recently sold for €6,9 million ($7.5 million) after a significant price cut of more than $700,000 in 2022.
When Path was launched in 2011, it was only the second hull in the Baltic 112 series by the highly prestigious Baltic Yachts. The owner had two main requests for his custom floating mansion – it had to boast globetrotting capabilities, and it had to provide a safe, comfortable haven for his entire family during extensive sailing trips. That is how the 36-meter (117-foot) sloop was born.
Originally named Canova, the Baltic 112 yacht was designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co, who were also in charge of the naval architecture. It was built with modern materials (Kevlar and carbon fiber) for a lightweight yet durable structure. The classic-style interiors, with a lavish display of mahogany throughout, were styled by R&J Design.
Boasting 137 GT of volume, Path provided ample accommodation for up to eight guests and six crew members. All the guest staterooms (a master suite, a VIP, and a twin) were specifically fitted with so-called "floating" interiors that help reduce noise and vibration, and they all featured elegant en-suite bathrooms. The main salon was also spacious enough to include a comfortable lounge area and a formal dining area with ample seating for up to eight people.
Above all, the original Path was designed for extensive, comfortable cruising. It combined massive storage with an 8,000-liter (2,111 gallons) fuel capacity for enhanced autonomy. Equipped with one 399 HP Cummins, Northern Lights generators, and premium electronics, Path was able to navigate smoothly at 10 knots (18.5 kph) and cover up to 2,700 nautical miles (5,000 km).
After a few years of extensive sailing, the Baltic 112's owner went for an even more spectacular design from the same builder. The stunning Baltic 146, which has the same name as the previous yacht, was launched in 2019. Designed by the same acclaimed team, it took things to the next level with generous accommodation, top-notch performance, and 646 square feet (60 square meters) of solar panels that could generate up to 8 kW in support of the lithium-ion battery bank on board.
The trailblazing Baltic 146 Path was the third-largest Baltic yacht (by volume) at the time of its launch and was also the brand's first one to feature a propulsion system and generators in compliance with the latest IMO (International Maritime Organization) Tier III regulations for engine emissions. Still, its design and performance were directly inspired by the owner's previous pleasure craft, the original Path.
