Italian yacht builder Baglietto has brought its latest delivery, the 41-metre motor yacht Andala, to the Monaco Yacht Show, marking the eighth hull in the shipyard’s successful DOM 133 series.
The yacht was launched earlier this year as part of what Fabio Ermetto, Baglietto’s Chief Commercial Officer, describes as a truly amazing spring for the company which has averaged one launch per month in 2025.
The spectacular super yacht welcomed Monaco Life on board during the Monaco Yacht Show for an exclusive interview with the CCO.
“The DOM 133. 41 metre yacht is one of the most successful series of semi-custom series that we have,” Ermetto told Monaco Life. “The boat was delivered a few months ago and, after a long summer season, we are pleased to have her here at the Monaco Yacht Show.”
The yacht features exterior design by Stefano Vafiadis, who is responsible for the entire DOM line, while interiors were created by Giorgio Cassetta, specifically appointed by the owner who has a clear vision for the yacht’s aesthetic.
“It was specifically appointed by the client who had a clear idea in mind of what kind of interior he wanted, and you can see the results. We are very satisfied about the final results,” said Ermetto.
Despite being part of a semi-custom series, Andala demonstrates Baglietto’s flexibility in delivering high levels of customisation. The yacht accommodates up to 10 guests across five staterooms, with crew quarters for nine staff members.
Twin Caterpillar engines provide a top speed of 17 knots and cruising speed of 15 knots.
Strategic showcase
“The Monaco Yacht Show is probably the best time and the best place worldwide to show our craftsmanship, quality, our new design models and meet the clientele,” explained Ermetto, outlining the shipyard’s strategy in bringing recent deliveries to the show.
The private-owned yacht serves as a showcase for Baglietto’s approach as what Ermetto calls “a boutique shipyard”, building five to six yachts annually with a maximum length of 65 to 70 metres.
Looking ahead, Baglietto continues to invest significantly in sustainable propulsion systems. “We have been pioneering the hybrid systems. We developed and built the first hybrid Lloyd certified boat 10 years ago,” Ermetto explained. “So, we have always invested in this direction.”
The shipyard has now moved beyond hybrid technology, installing a hydrogen plant at its facility to produce electricity from seawater in a completely sustainable way, powered entirely by photovoltaic panels.
“We are producing electricity out of sea water in a completely sustainable way,” Ermetto said, explaining that the only power required for the system comes from solar panels installed at the facility.
The system has been operating for several months and is being developed for implementation on a 60-metre yacht from 2027. “We are really looking forward for the first hydrogen boat,” Ermetto concluded
