The Latin term "sui generis" literally means "unique in its kind", which definitely applies to the latest delivery from the traditional shipyard thanks to its cobalt blue paintwork. The striking exterior lines of the semi-custom displacement vessel were designed by Rome-based Studio Vafiadis. This launch marks the shipyard's seventh delivery this year; two more DOM 133s are currently under construction and will be delivered in 2026 and 2027. This means that the model will soon replace the 52 metre long steel/aluminium displacer T52 as a top seller.
The "Sui Generis" combines all the advantages that have made the DOM 133 series so successful. These include a spacious interior, a two-storey beach club with an infinity pool and retractable floor as well as panoramic window fronts in the saloon area. Fold-out bulwarks act as balconies and increase the available deck space.
A special feature of the "Sui Generis" is the flexible layout of the accommodation on the lower deck. The two VIP cabins are connected by a sliding wall and can be converted into a second fully-fledged master suite in a few simple steps. The central staircase had to be structurally modified to create space for a large work of art in the entrance area. A customised pool was also installed on the sun deck at the owner's request. The shipyard's own design team was responsible for the interior design.
In terms of propulsion, the "Sui Generis" owners have opted for tried and tested technology. Two Caterpillar C32 engines provide propulsion and enable a top speed of 17 knots. With a cruising speed of 15 knots, the 8.70 metre wide aluminium displacement vessel has a transatlantic range of 3500 nautical miles. Eight crew members look after a maximum of ten guests on board.
