An original “open-roof” interpretation in the lounge for dining under the stars or a comfortable sundeck for enjoying private moments or experiencing high-speed thrills.

In her engine room, are carefully fitted three V12 MAN Diesels developing 2000 Hp each. As expected, AB Yachts remains faithful to the Swedish MJP’s waterjet propulsion system. The shipyard has a long history of working with this turbine specialist and the vessel is set to perform impressively at 49 knots while cruising and over 55 knots at maximum speed.

A sporty nature with extreme attention to the onboard lifestyle offers a smart configuration that include areas for socialising or spaces for enjoying complete privacy, both indoors and out.

An open roof in the saloon for dining under the stars and a saloon door that completely opens for a unique harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces and flawless contemporary Italian design also characterize this vessel.

This performance yacht also includes a fully equipped galley, a lounge living room with a sizeable flat screen TV, a spacious sunbathing area aft and a flydeck with more sunbathing and additional pilot station.

This layout in particular epitomises AB Yachts’ vast expertise to offer yachts that can be customised down to the tiniest detail.

AB Yachts 88

Silver beauty.

O nce again, the Italian shipyards adorn our pages with another one of the beauties for which they are known the world over, in this case, it is AB YACHTS with their 88. Outside, imitating to a great extent the slippery and flying fish, the AB 88 is a silver colored, except for the windows and some other details, and obviously the wood that characterizes the exterior of most motor yachts, although in the case of the 88, it breaks the mold, since dark wood is used, which makes a very elegant contrast.

Throughout the length and width of its two spacious decks, we find all we would expect from a motor yachts of this length, which with its almost 30 meters, is an excellent candidate for a life dedicated to onboard hedonism, to enjoy all of the sea’s pleasures. On the main or upper deck, at the stern, there is a sundeck and, facing the bow (protected by a beautiful part-fixed, part-sliding glass roof) are the recreational and lounge areas, such as the enormous saloon, which has a long “C” shaped sofa and a central table, that give the starboard view and an enormous flat screen plasma TV and the entertainment center.

Going up to the bridge, we find a main table for 8 diners, and towards the port side, the imposing bridge offers space for three people comfortably seated in chairs that are totally first-class. The outside part of this deck offers another sunbathing area. Returning inside, immediately behind the bridge, there is a stairway that takes us to the lower deck, where we are received by a couple of tables (in another fitting-out option, we could go directly along the passageway that connects all the cabins). Worthy of our attention is the contrast generated in the interior through the use of woods of opposing tones that give a feeling very different from most other motor yachts.

There is a totally equipped galley with the latest generation appliances on the lower deck to make the culinary arts a pleasure from the moment the food is prepared. The cabins are arranged as follows: the main cabin in the mid-ships, taking advantage of the entire width of the yachts and has an enormous bathroom with a double washbasin, a shower, WC and bidet, as well as a generously sized wardrobe, reading chairs, entertainment equipment (DVD, plasma screen, sound equipment, etc.).

Further towards the bow, there are two twin cabins, one port and one starboard, each with their own bathroom, two single beds, flat screen televisions and sound systems. On the port side, there is the VIP cabin with all the comforts of the other two, but more spacious and with a closet and a double bed, instead of the two single beds.

At the stern, with access a through the galley or through the service stairway located on the port side of the main deck, next to the stern sundeck, there are the crew cabins, which share a full bathroom and like the other cabins, have all the comforts in order for the crew to relax.

AB Yachts Launches 24M AB 80 superyacht

Gruppo FIPA has launched a 24-metre AB 80 yacht from its AB Yachts brand, the second of five yachts set to be launched for the 2020 season.

Described as a “Formula One car of the seas”, the 24-metre yacht is designed by the Tuscany-based studio Acube Design .

Intended for both family-friendly cruising and as a luxurious day boat, the AB80 features a planing hull that acts as a “blade that cuts the water”.

Key features include a completely customisable interior, with a main-deck saloon encompassed in 360 degrees of natural light leading directly to the open aft cockpit.

Accommodation on board is for a total of eight guests in four cabins, with a staff of two crew.

The elite propulsion package comprises three MJP waterjets with three MAN v-12 2000hp engines for a top speed of over 59 knots.

This New Superyacht Has a Beautiful Aft Deck That Can Expand to Nearly 1,100 Square Feet

AB Yachts is bringing the beach to the back of its newest superyacht model. Designed in honor of the Italian yard’s 30th anniversary, the aptly named AB 120 Beach features a beautiful aft deck that allows seafarers to connect seamlessly with the sea.

The beach isn’t the vessel’s only draw, of course. The 121-footer combines sleek, sporty lines with innovative materials and the latest construction techniques. Glass and carbon fiber were combined using honeycomb and sandwich lamination, for example.

On top of that, the vessel is equipped with a waterjet propulsion system and three 2,600 hp engines that can reportedly push it to speeds in excess of 45 knots without comprising comfort or stability. With a draft of four feet, the go-anywhere cruiser is capable of traversing both deep and shallow waters. She also has a range of 500 nautical miles.

The interior is characterized by large glass panels that not only let in an abundance of natural light but also provide uninterrupted ocean views. The main salon, for instance, sports more than 500 square feet of glazing. Naturally, the living quarters can fully customized to an owner’s tastes. The designers have outfitted her with Flexform furniture in warm, natural hues to give you an idea of what’s possible. In terms of accommodation, she can sleep up to 10 guests across four cabins and five crew in three cabins.

Other highlights of the design include an open-air cinema on the flybridge, a convertible gym room and a chic, custom-built bar. There are also two large garages for your toys and tenders. If it were up to us, though, we wouldn’t leave the beach.

AB Yachts’ Speedy Superyacht

• By Diane M. Byrne
• April 22, 2022

Dating back to its founding 30 years ago, AB Yachts has focused on high-performance yachts equipped with water jets. Given that AB Yachts is an Italian shipyard, that emphasis on speed comes packaged with sleek styling. The builder continues to add larger models, and when it launched Hull No. 1 of its 100-foot AB 100 series in 2016, it announced a 52-knot top-end speed. Other semicustom maxis existed in this size range, but none clocked on the radar gun quite like this one did. Advances in engine technology and lightweight construction have since allowed the shipyard to make the yacht even faster. The same series is now reportedly capable of a 54-knot maximum speed.

Which wasn’t enough for one particular customer—or for AB Yachts.

Together, they created the AB 100 Superfast, with what the yard says is a 59-knot maximum velocity and a cruising speed of 53 knots. This makes the AB 100 Superfast not just the fastest boat in the builder’s range but also a boat that’s faster than most, if not all, other yachts of its size from any shipyard. In fact, the AB 100 Superfast’s top speed is about 25 knots higher than that of other high-profile maxis in the 100- to 110-foot range.

The owner and shipyard shared the belief that an invitation to customize a semicustom yacht should indeed mean customization. AB Yachts allows clients to tailor exterior styling and interior design, and the AB 100 Superfast differs from its predecessor in several ways. The avid cruiser wanted to take his personal bond with the sea to a higher level. “That was the key goal that we interpreted in the interest of our owner,” says Gennaro Candida De Matteo, the CEO of AB Yachts’ parent company, Next Yacht Group.

The first hint is seen in the AB 100 Superfast’s profile, which has more glass than the AB 100. Along the main deck, the glass is nearly sole-to-ceiling, complemented by glass insets in the lowered bulwarks. The dark tint lends the illusion that the glass wraps uninterrupted from one side of the yacht and around to the other. Belowdecks, the small oval ports are gone, replaced with two long stretches of glass to port and starboard.

Aft, like any large yacht, the AB 100 Superfast has a table and settee. The setup seems unassuming enough for enjoying alfresco meals or the spirited ride. But at the press of a button, both the table and the settee’s backrest lower to ensure that the owner and his guests truly have uninterrupted views when they’re seated inside the open-plan main deck. (On a related note, the owner opted to increase the perception of volume inside by eliminating the bulkhead between the helm and dining area.) A similarly lowering settee backrest is on the flybridge too.

Two more cruise-enhancing surprises are at the waterline. The first: The yacht has a nearly full-beam settee nestled against the transom, providing the ultimate front-row seat to the swimming and water-toy action. Consider it a permanent open-air beach club. The second surprise is how the toys launch.

“This is one of the most interesting features of this boat,” De Matteo says. At the press of a button, the backrest rises up to reveal the garage. The transformer-type swim platform rises too, so a RIB or other toys can slide directly into the water.

When peace and quiet are what the owner and his guests want, they can retire belowdecks, where there are accommodations for eight. This owner chose two twins, a VIP and a full-beam master stateroom. While some maxi opens look and feel tight below, the AB 100 Superfast doesn’t—even with its 22-foot-3-inch beam being comparable to that of slightly larger maxis from other builders. Adding to the owner’s comfort, a port within the picture window in his stateroom opens.

Even with the emphasis on his own enjoyment, the owner and AB Yachts didn’t overlook the practical needs of the four-person crew. For example, stairs by the inside helm—which the owner designed with the shipyard to achieve an automotive-type look in carbon fiber and leather—lead directly down to the Corian-outfitted galley and crew mess. The laundry area is right here as well. The foredeck leisure area, meanwhile, has significant stowage beneath the equally sizable sun bed.

Most people who end up seeing the AB 100 Superfast cutting across the horizon will probably consider the yacht to be a maxed-out maxi. Yes, it is an unabashedly fast yacht—and one of the fastest superyachts in the world to boot. But from the American walnut soles and furnishings to the view-enhancing features and re-imagined use of space, the AB 100 Superfast also reflects a clear, custom vision.

One that just happens to be capable of nearly 60-knot speeds.

Power Punch

The AB 100 Superfast gets its head-turning performance from triple 2,600 hp MANs with water jets. The AB 100, by comparison, had three 1,900 hp MANs and water jets. Kevlar and carbon-fiber construction keep weight down, part of the shipyard’s practice across its models.

American Success Story

While AB Yachts’ American clients are similar to European counterparts in being attracted to speed, the AB 100 series’ 4-foot-3-inch draft has more specifically led to sales stateside. Clients who regularly cruise between South Florida and the Bahamas need the shallow-water access.

Next Yacht Group’s Next Move

GB Investment Holdings, which has interests in artificial intelligence and luxury properties, is AB Yachts’ parent company. It named its yachting division Next Yacht Group to reflect a future focus. It plans to leverage its AI and resort knowledge to improve the yachts and customer experiences.

THE SUNSEEKER 88 YACHT

Principal Characteristics & Technical Specifications

The Sunseeker 88 Yacht has impressive exterior lines and a sleek hardtop roof with an optional central opening canopy, accommodating eight guests and four crew in complete luxury and comfort. 

The Yacht features Sunseeker’s industry-leading ‘Beach Club’ accessed by sweeping dual staircases featuring recessed LED lighting. The ‘Beach Club’ transforms the area into a private outdoor sanctuary complete with an innovative and award-winning X-TEND™ sunbed that converts to face aft at water level or when raised forward into the cockpit. Set beneath is an overhead rain shower and plentiful stowage, including dedicated lockers for two SeaBobs. The extended bathing platform is perfect for carrying a tender with an optional flybridge crane for a jet ski or similar.

The vast flybridge on the 88 Yacht enjoys a superb layout with beautifully appointed furniture on a spacious aft deck and the option of an infinity spa bath with a sun pad. It’s a brilliant space for entertaining with ample places to sit and relax thanks to companion seating adjacent to the helm and extended U-shaped seating opposite a feature wet bar with ice maker, grill and two fridges or optional drawer-refrigeration. There is also the option for fixed stools to turn this into a social bar area. The spacious foredeck features another private, social space with a Portuguese bridge, a large sunbathing area and comfortable lounge seating complemented by premium side decks as standard. The main deck is nothing short of spectacular. Inside, there is a large forward galley that maximises an open-plan entertainment space. Owners and crew can enjoy making use of ample practical storage space, as well as a dedicated fixed breakfast bar unit with two stools, creating an additional informal dining area. The galley has a full-height premium fridge freezer and dishwasher as standard with space for wine coolers.

There is also the ability to fully close off the galley, allowing the crew to move around the yacht unnoticed with access from the lower helm on the starboard side that gives owners the chance to enjoy complete privacy. The interior exudes luxury and has clever design cues throughout that make the yacht stand out, including diagonal stainless detailing on cabinetry and doors. The layering of textural elements and the mix of furnishings and fabrics feels timeless with a modern twist with a range of colours and finishes available. Sunseeker has located the grand master stateroom central to the yacht, making the most of her substantial beam to maximise this private space. The master stateroom, with its 55” TV as standard, enjoys a spacious dressing area with a double wardrobe and adjacent in the en suite featuring exquisite surfaces throughout are double sinks, an overhead rain shower, and plentiful stowage.
