The smallest DOM, and a deliberate one
The DOM115 is the compact model in Baglietto's DOM line, and the yard positions it as its route into high-end customisation at a smaller size. Baglietto introduced it as the latest addition to a line that had been running since 2022. The first hull was launched at La Spezia in July 2025 and cruised through the port at its float-out. At 34.5 metres it stays below the thresholds that trigger heavier crewing and survey rules, which keeps running costs in check for a private owner. Baglietto describes it as bringing the feel of a much larger yacht to a 35 metre platform.
That size choice is central to the model's appeal. An owner moving up from a smaller boat gains full displacement comfort without committing to a 40 metre-plus vessel. The DOM115 measures 298 GT across three decks, a strong figure for its length. The number reflects the yard's focus on usable interior within a modest hull. It reads as a serious yacht built to a manageable scale.
Where it sits in the DOM family
The DOM line is Baglietto's contemporary displacement range, drawn by Studio Vafiadis and named after the Latin word for home. The DOM115 is the smallest of the three current models, below the roughly 40 metre DOM133 and the 46 metre DOM155 flagship. All share a design language built around interior volume and natural light. The shared look ties the smallest hull visually to the flagship above it. The DOM115 brings that thinking to owners who want the concept in a smaller boat.
The line has been in production since 2022 and has become one of the yard's steadier sellers. Each model keeps the sub-500 GT positioning that suits private ownership. The DOM115 opens the range at a scale that widens its reach. Buyers can specify a new hull to their own brief rather than wait for a resale to appear. It shares the family look while standing as the most accessible entry.
Baglietto's smallest DOM brings big-yacht volume to a 34.5 metre hull.
Exterior by Studio Vafiadis
Stefano Vafiadis shaped the exterior, giving the DOM115 a low, horizontal profile with wide side windows and generous deck areas. The steel hull carries an aluminium superstructure, a common pairing that keeps weight down high up. The beam of 7.8 metres opens out the main deck and the flybridge. Large glazed surfaces bring the interior close to the water and the light. The window line runs low along the hull to keep sightlines open from inside.
Outdoor space is a clear priority on this model. The layout gives owners a sun deck and a bathing platform at the stern. A shallow 2.4 metre draft lets the yacht work close inshore and into quieter anchorages. That reach into shallow water widens the choice of overnight spots along a coast. The result is a yacht built to be lived in outdoors as much as within.
Volume where it counts
Baglietto handled the interior design and naval architecture in house. The DOM115 accommodates up to ten guests across five suites, with the owner given a full main-deck cabin. A single owner's cabin on the main deck is a layout usually reserved for larger yachts. The 298 GT volume translates into ceiling heights and social areas that feel drawn from a larger class of yacht. Materials and layout are open to the owner within the platform.
Crew and service areas are worked in without eating into guest space. Up to seven crew can be carried, enough for full private service at this size. A team that size can keep the yacht running through a full season. Tender and toy stowage is planned around the compact hull. The interior aims at long, comfortable cruising rather than short hops.
Easy pace, easy running
Twin MAN diesels of 1,182 hp each drive the DOM115 to a top speed of about 14.5 knots, with efficient displacement cruising below that. Range runs to roughly 2,800 nautical miles, enough for extended coastal and island programmes. The MAN units are a well-understood choice that keeps servicing straightforward. Hybrid propulsion has been signalled for later hulls in the series. The engineering favours quiet, economical passage-making over outright speed.
This is a yacht for an owner who values comfort and volume at a size that a small crew can handle. It suits Mediterranean and similar cruising where anchorages matter more than fast transits. Running costs stay lower than a larger yacht would demand. For many buyers the appeal is a yacht that one captain and a small team can run without strain. For a first full displacement yacht, the DOM115 makes a measured case.

| Performance | Top speed about 14.5 knots (Boat International); range quoted at 2,800 nm at cruising speed by a separate listing aggregator - Baglietto has not published an official cruising speed to reconcile the two. |
| Generators and stabilisers | Not published by Baglietto; not independently confirmed. |
What owners and crew report
Launch remarks
Baglietto's chief commercial officer Fabio Ermetto said the DOM115 'combines the features of a much larger yacht with the operational advantages of a 35m' and called it 'an important step toward greater accessibility to high-end customization' - the yard's own account of its strategy, not a tested review.

What is good, and what to watch
Strong points
- Fully in-house from one yardNaval architecture and interior are both Baglietto's own, with only the exterior lines outsourced to Studio Vafiadis - unusual for a 35m build, where naval architecture is often bought in.
- Unusually open upper deckThe veranda-style upper-deck lounge opens on three sides. Large panoramic main-deck windows are a genuine departure from a boxier displacement profile at this length.
- A proven, low-risk hull and superstructure combinationSteel hull with aluminium superstructure is the traditional pairing for a 35m displacement yacht, not an unproven material choice.
What to watch
- Slow for its sizeA top speed of about 14.5 knots is on the slow side even for a displacement yacht this size, a real trade-off for an owner who wants to cover ground.
- No independent performance data yetNo sea trial or fuel-burn figures beyond the yard's own have been published for hull number one.
- Launch commentary is sales framing, not a tested opinionBaglietto's own chief commercial officer described the model in market-growth language ('greater accessibility', 'a broader audience') - useful context, but it is the yard talking about its own strategy, not an account of how the boat performs.
Practical detail
| Price | One new-build listing quoted a price from EUR 18 million for a stock or in-build hull. |
|---|---|
| Layout | 12 guests in 5 staterooms, with 7 crew. |
| Delivery | First hull, named Cadet, launched July 2025 at La Spezia; a second hull is due the following year. |
| What is not published | An independent sea trial, fuel-burn figures and any resale or brokerage track record - the model has only just entered delivery. |
