Baglietto DOM133 Review (2023 Edition) by NautiStyles

On Deck

The DOM133 opens with a generous swim platform, large enough to feel like a private waterfront terrace. One clever detail here is the passerelle - when not in use, it folds neatly into a hidden cavity and doubles as a set of steps on the port side. With the passerelle stowed, both sides of the stern match perfectly, keeping the profile clean and balanced.

Up on the bow, there’s plenty of lounging space - comfortable for eight, with space for more if you really want to spread out. The flush deck hatch leads to the anchor locker, and the oversized windlasses, mooring gear, and integrated chain pockets sit behind stainless detailing that feels overbuilt in the best way. The ship's bell is also here, ready and waiting.

The garage sits beneath the working foredeck and opens to reveal storage space, a hydraulic crane, and even a deep top-loading freezer. There’s room here for a crew tender, jet ski, or other toys, and the whole thing tucks away so smoothly it’s almost invisible once closed.

The bridge deck aft continues the clean layout, with loose furniture and a large round dining table with a lazy Susan. It's an easy, sociable setup that encourages conversation. The use of moveable, modular furniture means the space can shift from dining to lounging to entertaining with little effort.

On the top deck, the plunge pool is a showpiece in its own right. The floor lifts to become a flush deck, draining into a holding tank and pumping back in when it’s time for a swim. A quick-connect shower is part of the structure too.

A retractable sunshade covers the forward and aft sections of the sun deck. The sail-like shape isn’t just for show offers shade even without the side panels. The deck itself includes a gym setup, a forward sink with sliding lid, ice maker, deep drinks fridge, and plenty of storage.

And then there’s the sound system. A full DJ rig - monitors, subwoofers, tops - all mounted, protected, and repositionable. It’s the kind of thing you usually see in nightclubs, not sun decks. Even the satellite domes and radar mast feel like part of the rhythm up here.

The main saloon is defined by its glass with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with light. Real plants are set against the glazing, watered from outside via a discreet glass service door. Floating furniture pieces and subtle sculptural curves repeat throughout the deck, carrying the same visual language from space to space.

The dining area features a custom stone table set for ten, with a wide console providing a soft divide between lounge and dining. A mirror TV tucks neatly into the design, hidden in plain sight. Colors are soft but warm, and every piece of furniture feels like it was chosen specifically for the space.

The sky lounge has a cosy, almost attic-like feel, thanks to the sloped windows and lowered ceiling height. Cassina sofas invite you to sink in, with a giant hidden TV for movie nights. A bar sits just forward, with heavy cabinetry, deep drawers, and room for a cocktail service. The shapes you notice on deck - rounded edges, softened lines - carry through here too, anchoring the design.

The galley is full-beam and unusually laid out. A central prep area gives chefs and crew space to work, with separate zones for hot equipment and cold storage. There’s a deep fryer, induction cooktop, commercial hood, and double ovens, including a steam oven, plus marine-rated dishwasher, fridge, and freezer towers. It feels like a working kitchen, not just a pretty one.

Owner's Cabin

The owner’s suite begins with a private landing behind the main staircase. A small vestibule gives you a desk, a settee, and the ability to shut the space off completely, which is ideal if one person wants to work while the other sleeps in. The space is buffered from guest and crew traffic, so you can keep to your own rhythm.

The bed is a California king, with overhead speakers flush in the ceiling. But the real surprise is the balcony - touch a button, and the wall folds down to create a private terrace at water level. You don’t need crew to set it up. You don’t even need to leave the bed. Morning coffee here would be hard to beat.

The walk-in wardrobe is open and softly curved, keeping the shape language consistent. The bathroom is finished in onyx, with dual vanities and a four-person rain shower. Infinity mirrors line the vanity and the toilet area is beautiful. There’s a bidet, of course, and enough space to treat this like an ensuite apartment.

Guest Accommodation

There are four additional staterooms on the lower deck. The two aft cabins are mirror images, each with a queen-sized bed, floating nightstands, and en suite bathrooms finished in bold marbles - distinct in colour, so guests can tell them apart. Other features include smoky glass, bold stonework and full-sized rain showers.

Forward to port, there’s a double cabin with a Pullman berth hidden in the wall. This cabin would be best suited for children or occasional third guests. Despite its size, it carries the same design cues, and the ensuite has good countertop space and a rain shower.

The VIP cabin is finished in softer tones, with a vanity, mirror TV and ample storage. The ensuite here follows the same footprint as the others, with a marble finish and mirrored accents.

Crew Accommodation

Crew circulation is smart and separate. There are multiple stews pantries throughout the decks, each with built-in water filtration systems that offer sparkling or still chilled water. The main pantry also includes an ice maker and coffee machine.

The crew mess includes a fridge, microwave, sink, and laundry area with twin washer-dryers. It’s open enough not to overheat, and it gives the eight-person crew (plus captain) a practical, central base. One crew cabin is shown: a tidy twin-bunk layout with an accordion shower door and enough space to feel livable. Privacy curtains and thoughtful detailing make it work.

A captain's cabin sits just off the bridge, offering direct access and outward views.

The DOM133 runs on twin Caterpillar C32 engines, each delivering 1600hp. At 1800rpm, she cruises comfortably between 10-12 knots, burning around 200l an hour. A shallow draft and aluminium hull support flexible cruising grounds, and the urea-based exhaust treatment keeps emissions compliant for the U.S. and Caribbean.

Two Caterpillar C4.4 generators provide 100kW each. One is enough for regular running, but they’re often paired for redundancy. Bow thruster and fin stabilisers are electric, while the stern thruster runs from the main engine PTO.

Systems include a ballast treatment plant to offset the weight of the aft plunge pool and a full oily water separation system that complies with Marpol discharge limits. Twin Idromar 9000 series watermakers generate 800 litres per hour, with silver-ion dosing and UV sterilisation to keep water safe even under heavy use. Onboard demand can reach 10,000 litres a day during busy periods, particularly with two pools and high guest counts, so maintenance is constant.

Cooling comes from dual Frigomar chillers, which drive 20 fan coil units around the yacht. The system can run in parallel for efficiency, keeping temperatures stable and energy use in check. The yacht’s theoretical range at reduced speeds sits around 5,000 nautical miles, allowing comfortable transatlantic crossings.

The DOM133 has that rare balance of style and substance. You can move through it without needing to adjust yourself to the boat, whether that’s lounging by the plunge pool, pulling out the owner’s balcony, or reconfiguring loose furniture for a different kind of evening. In that sense, it does live up to its name - DOM, from Domus, a home.
