Redefining Luxury: Baglietto's DOM Line of Superyachts – Your On-Water Home Away from Home
Every superyacht owner has unique expectations towards their maritime marvel, shaped by various factors including personal needs and intended usage. Some might view it solely as a ritzy escape, a floating oasis, or even an avenue for endless adventure. Baglietto’s DOM superyacht line, however, might be redefining the game, carving out a niche for themselves as a ‘home away from home’. Lofty ambitions indeed, but a statement supported by their thoughtful design. Baglietto offers the DOM115 and DOM133 models as part of their line-up, featuring sleek exteriors inspired by the automobile industry and designed by Italian maestro Stefano Vafiadis. The sporty, mid-sized aluminium displacement cruisers, born out of a desire to blend lifestyle requirements and performance, are far from being just aesthetically fascinating. In words of Fabio Ermetto, CCO of Baglietto, aluminium as a choice of construction material over fibreglass for the DOM133 added not only to its superlative quality and onboard comfort, but also allowed for greater flexibility and modifications, resulting in unique and personalised interior and exterior layouts. Flagship of the line, the DOM133 - a 40-metre model, first launched in 2022 with the latest Barbara Anne model making its debut in 2024. Baglietto didn’t stop there, spreading its wings to encompass a broader clientele, the shipyard introduced the smaller, entry-level DOM115 in 2023. The new addition brought numerous requests from admirers of the DOM133 who desired a more compact vessel. Despite their size, both models are designed as ocean-going passage makers. The robust DOM133 cruises at a top speed of 17 knots and a 3,500-nautical-mile range, while the efficient DOM115 provides a 3,700-nautical-mile range at a steady pace of 10 knots. Add to it a convenient shallow draught, making it a breeze to traverse the sun-kissed waters of the Caribbean and the Bahamas. The standout feature, however, is the exceptional interior volume and the array of customisation options: The DOM133 boasts an 8.7-metre beam while the DOM115 stretches impressively to 7.8 metres. Greater dimensions equate to higher comfort levels, transforming these superyachts into idyllic floating homes. Revel in the opulence of the sea and never compromise on comfort with Baglietto’s DOM line.
