VIP alternate angle...

Deep-finished cherrywood is accented by the cream-white marble top of the wide vanity/mirror and sink. Ample incidental storage is provided in drawers below. The VIP shower is a double-wide glass enclosure.

Domani’s staterooms, in addition to the Owner’s suite, include four cabins on the deck below – two with queen-size berths plus two with twin berths and also a supplementary extra berth, so that it combines sleeping accommodations for up to ten guests. This twin-berth guest room is commodious as well, with vanity, chair, and private head/shower.

Full electronics panels are grouped in a side room below. Note the waterproof passage bulkhead forward.

A wider view of the engine room reveals the space organization of engines and components.

Typical of Domani’s excellent planning, generators and other equipment allow room to work in and around.

Not shown are crew’s quarters, which total five. The Captain’s cabin is situated on the upper deck, just aft of the wheelhouse, with a queen-size berth, classic woodwork, a large window, entertainment area, and head/shower. The Engineer’s cabin is on the lower deck. Crew’s quarters include bunk berths, head/shower, a refrigerator/freezer, and a laundry area with two washers and dryers.

All things considered, Domani is an exquisite yacht, a showpiece that is certain to expand the Azimut/Benetti reputation worldwide.
