Owner Experience Review
Owners drawn to the 26 WJbyBagliettotend to prioritize pace and control. Contemporary sources place the cruise around 35–40 knots with reported top speeds from roughly 50 into the low‑60s, and the military‑influenced aluminum hull stays composed at speed. KaMeWa hydrojets deliver sharp acceleration and very shallow draft, so fast transfers and thin‑water exploration are realistic, though close‑quarters behavior is distinctly jet‑driven.
On board, the package is performance‑centric but livable. Listings consistently show 3–4 cabins for 6–8 guests plus space for about three crew, with interiors credited to Luigi Sturchio. Main‑deck salon/galley arrangements have evolved through documented refits (including 2007/2008), blending social space with the boat’s go‑fast mission rather than chasing full‑displacement opulence.
In ownership terms, this is more an enthusiast showpiece than a mainstream charter platform, and some boats are explicitly not for charter. Large MTU V16 engines and KaMeWa jets are specialist systems with corresponding parts and service needs; the aluminum hull rewards vigilant fatigue and galvanic protection management; and jet drives add their own maintenance quirks from intake blockages to specialized tooling. Plan accordingly and the payoff is a rare mix of pace, shallow‑draft access, and credible seakeeping.
Pros and Cons
- Among the fastest of its era, with ~35–40 kn cruise and reported ~50–60 kn top speeds.
- KaMeWa waterjets and shallow draft enable rapid acceleration and access to skinny anchorages.
- Practical 3–4 cabin layout for 6–8 guests plus crew, with refit‑proven salon/galley adaptability.
- MTU V16 engines and KaMeWa jets demand specialist servicing, parts, and budgeting.
- Jet handling at low speed differs from shafts and requires technique in close quarters.
- Performance‑first design trades some quiet, full‑displacement‑style luxury and volume.
