FOURTH LAUNCH OF THE YEAR FOR BAGLIETTO: THE DOM, 133 PENCILLED BY STEFANO VAFIADIS, HITS THE WATER

The fourth DOM133, LEE – designed by Stefano Vafiadis, who also took care of the interiors in cooperation with the Owner’s designer Tehila Bracha Magyar Shelef – was launched two days ago.

Hull no. 10244 retains the core features of the line she belongs to: perfect for trans-oceanic cruises, this vessel too has a limited draught (2.10 m – 7ft.) that makes her ideal to cruise even in very shallow waters. Thanks to a beam of 8.70 m (29 ft.), interior volumes are very generous and offer living spaces and solutions rarely found on yachts of this size. A glaring example is the main deck layout, conceived and designed – on this unit too – to ensure a smooth, free flow between interior and exterior areas, while also enhancing a pleasant convivial atmosphere.

The main saloon, on this deck, has floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that, once fully open, turn this area into a natural extension of the aft cockpit. Another noteworthy feature is the original panoramic glass staircase, flawlessly integrated in the main deck structure. A special mention, in the main saloon, goes to a lovely small garden of succulent plants, arranged under the staircase and protected by the glass slates that support it.

Floors in Carrara marble, fine woods like sycamore and other tropical woods, stainless steel inserts (even on curved elements, which implies truly great craftsmanship): this yacht’s interiors surely stand out for their precious materials.

Located forward of the main saloon, the master cabin can boast a sliding, foldable balcony that makes an impressive visual impact and extends the cabin area by an additional 2 metres outdoors. Not to mention the breathtaking view on the sea that the Owner will be able to enjoy. The wood used in the cabin is the same found throughout the vessel. Mirrors and marbles have also been extensively used for the Owner’s bathroom.

The guest accommodation area has been arranged on the lower deck and includes two double cabins, located aft, and a twin cabin. The third VIP cabin with double bed, next to the guest cabin, is very spacious, which means it can also fit a small desk and a large TV.

On the upper deck, the sky lounge is comfortable and cosy, certainly less formal than the main saloon. Compared to previous models in the DOM line, on LEE windows have been lowered and a large bar unit has been installed on the side, also serving the outdoor dining area. The latter is furnished with an imposing round table, ideal to have dinner with one’s friends or family. The large bookcase at the bow has many shelves to fit books and works of art as well as a TV/cinema unit. The large L-shaped sofa offers a perfect view on the TV screen, but is also skilfully shaped not to interfere with the windows, thereby granting an equally perfect and magnificent view on the surrounding landscape.

Both the upper deck and the sun deck offer very generous spaces – undoubtedly one of the main strengths of this yacht.

The sun deck is fitted with a sliding perforated sunroof – a shading system that, borrowing an adjective from the automotive sector, could be defined as ‘convertible’; together with a custom bar unit and a panoramic pool with a large sunbathing area at the bow, this element makes this area just perfect to enjoy life en plein air.

Also deserving mention is the pilothouse integrated in the hull, characterised by the DOM line’s unmistakable design, reinterpreting Baglietto’s logo, a stylized seagull, in a contemporary key. RGB lighting details can create a magical setting while cruising, while also helping the captain by preventing any annoying reflections on both windscreen and windows.

The beach club on 2 levels with an infinity pool adds a final unique touch to this vessel’s layout.

This unit, too, mounts two Caterpillar C32 engines, allowing her to reach an impressive maximum speed of 17 knots.
