Baltic Yachts 64

Sparkman & Stephens designed performance cruiser from Baltic Yachts in Finland. Hull No.5 of 5 in the semi-custom series. Refitted in 2023/24 with new paint, sails, batteries and so on.

FURTHER BROKER'S COMMENTS:

PIXELION was originally built by the Baltic shipyard as the last of five Baltic 64's for an Italian pharmaceutical industry entrepreneur. He set the interior design for his own use and plans - to use her mainly for corporate events hence the reason for the 2 master cabins. Originally named "LADY G" and was operated across Italy under the Italian Flag.

A few years later the first owner sold "LADY G", to order a larger new yacht from Baltic. Her new owner was an Italian / American who changed the yacht's name to "VAHANLEX". Sold back to Europe in 2009, she was renamed 'PIXELION' and benefitted from a comprehensive refit in 2010/2011. Sold again in 2018, PIXELION cruised to the Caribbean where she was more recently purchased by her current experienced owner who has embarked on a comprehensive refit program at Peake Yacht Services in Trinidad to bring PIXELION back to cosmetic and mechanically top shape.

2023/24 refit highlights include:
New Awlgrip topsides deck and superstructure paint.
Refurbished and recaulked teak decks
New Ullman sails
New Victron AGM batteries
New canvaswork and cockpit cushions
Overhauled refrigeration
