Baglietto Blue Princess Star 2005 vs Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Baglietto Blue Princess Star 2005 vs Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 2 775 hp, the Baglietto Blue Princess Star 2005 has a 375-hp advantage over the Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009's 2 400-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009 is rated for 42 passengers, while the Baglietto Blue Princess Star 2005 caps at 33. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 42 passengers and at 140,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Baglietto Blue Princess Star 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 33 that costs less to run day-to-day.

The Baglietto Ira Ex Ancora 2009 measures 350" wide, compared to 283" for the Baglietto Blue Princess Star 2005. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
