Projects: AB Yachts 95, AB Yachts 95 S

During the Fort Lauderdale boat show AB Yachts presented the projects for two new upcoming 95 and a 95 S, both based on the same hull but offering a different super structure. This standard AB Yachts 95 brings the innovations as introduced with the AB110 which debuted at the 2024 Cannes boat show, integrating and evolving the technical and technological features developed by the 1992 founded brand; reliability, engineering solutions, jet propulsion system leadership, and construction materials with the new design concept by architect Marco Casamonti of Archea Associati. The standard AB95 follows in the wake of the just debuted 110 larger sister in both style and arrangement, offering generous convivial areas with the distinctive sporty technology of AB Yachts. The 96 remains a super sport yacht characterised by incredible noiselessness and the absence of any vibrations, but can now offer even more onboard liveability, comfort, and unparalleled wellbeing. The exteriors and interiors are luxurious, airy, and extremely welcoming. Another difference in the AB Yacht 95 to the S model is the sport bridge, where reverse glazing along the yacht's profile increases further space and comfort for this open air and sun lovers area which give an outlook over the sea, accessible from the aft deck via two carbon-fibre external staircases.

The other AB Yachts 95 S is created for owners who are always pursuing the thrill of pure adrenaline and the unforgettable exhilaration of speeding on the water safely and stylishly. With her sinuous and sporty lines, the convertible roof top integrated in her streamlined profile, a cutting-edge propulsion system ensuring impressive performances in terms of speed, manoeuvring, efficiency and comfort, and ingenious functional solutions, this model can be truly be defined as a racing yacht, taking the pleasure of yachting to the next level. Both models, it goes without saying, share a number of elements that are deeply rooted in the brand such as ease of manoeuvre, particularly efficiency at high cruising speeds, the absence of any vibrations, and maximum safety at all times. Not to mention the smooth, free-flowing design consistency between exteriors and interiors and their unmatched loft-like comfort and style, perfect to spend time together or race on the sea without even noticing how fast the yacht is really going. All living spaces can be tailored to the Owners wishes, allowing him to create a yacht that will reflect their own personal onboard lifestyle and their unique way of finding the closest possible contact with the sea and nature, going beyond any stereotypes and setting creativity free.  The AB Yachts 95 and 95S offer a four suite layout sleeping eight or ten if you option two pullman berths are ordered in two guests cabin, or a three stateroom sleeping six in a lower deck galley version.  Crew accommodation is for four in two cabins forward.  Both the AB Yachts 95 and 95 S are powered by triple Man 2000hp with MJP jet propulsion, with the central acting as a booster.  Top speeds are estimated up to fifty knots.

New Model: AB Yachts 110

AB Yachts has in Summer 2024 launched its new 110 model.  A current second in size model for the jet powered super sport yacht specialist, who here set in motion a stylistic evolution with the forward raked windshield marking an updated design element.  With a length over all of just under 34 meters the new AB Yachts 110 is characterised by the pleasant, charming interiors of a loft as designed by Marco Casamonti, which give unmatched conviviality along with stylish sporty lines, elegantly-finished details, and all-pervading brightness, while at the same time being able to run fast over forty knots with unmatched stability and trim, and thanks to her limited less to two meters draft from the jet propulsion can reach even the most secluded bays. This is, in short, the new AB110, taking and evolving the AB Yachts story to the next step. The new 110 embodies a brand-new concept of space, while the raked forward windshield extends the sport bridge and onboard liveability offering a wonderful outlook over the sea, while the exteriors and interiors flow smoothly into one another in a soft, fluid design. The spatial revolution has also involved the lounge areas; flybridge, forward, and aft; as the later can convert into a generous beach area that ensures the closest possible contact with the sea.  As cabin lounging goes, this is all located on the main deck, with this offering a central dining area for eight, a C-shaped saloon, central open galley, central triple seat pilot station, a day head located to port side.  Another option also exists here to move the galley down forward of the lower deck before the entry to the crew area, with this leaving the main deck dedicated to lounging.  With the lower deck galley version the forward VIP suite would be about 40% smaller and located to starboard.  Sleeping accommodation in the AB Yachts 110 offers four double guest suites, with a master stateroom at midships, and a VIP suite forward.  Forward of the lower deck is the crew area with two cabins sleeping four and a small L-shaped dinette.  The first AB Yachts 110 is powered by triple Man 2000hp for top speed up to 43 knots with a cruise of 38, allowing for a range up to 460 nautical miles.

Project: AB Yachts 125

AB Yachts announce the project for a 125 flagship model, with the first unit selling in end of June, and coming from a client request.  The AB Yachts 125 is based on the current 120 flagship, which launched in March this year and a second unit currently under construction.  The AB Yacht should be very similar to the 120 with the main difference coming for a larger beach club, with opening wing bulk heads which extended this beach-bathing area by about forty per-cent.   Another difference between the 125 and AB Yachts 120 is for a larger tender garage, with the new flagship able to put a tender under eight meters in length.  The interior of the first AB Yachts 125 is fully customized, but for an idea the 120 is offered in four or five double cabins plus crew quarters.  Speed numbers have not been announced but expect forty knots as is standard from any AB Yachts model ever made.

New Model: AB Yachts 100 Superfast

Having sold six hulls of the AB Yachts 100 from 2016, into hull seven and in 2020 the Viareggio Super Sport Yacht jet propulsion specialist decided to redesign the model from the waterline up, enters the new 100 Superfast. As is usual from AB Yachts the 100 Superfast is unique in her class, being capable thanks to the propulsion system installed onboard of reaching, subject to engine options a maximum speed up to sixty knots with unparalleled comfort, safety and seaworthiness, all this in an incredible silence, and in the meantime making her currently the eight fastest yacht above 24 meters in size. Boasting high performances and cutting-edge technological innovation, the second generation AB 100 is undoubtedly a new benchmark for fast yachts above eighty feet. Behind such outstanding performances stand a construction competence perfected in over thirty years cutting-edge technological solutions in propulsion, stabilization, trim control and seakeeping; a painstaking care for details; and a modular configuration allowing to meet the needs and wishes of owners that are looking for one-of-a-kind, distinctive product. The AB 100 Superfast offers a range of solutions that make the most of onboard spaces, from concealed sliding door connecting the aft cockpit and the salon, to create one single, generous open space, free of obstacles and pervaded by the natural light that shines through the floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces, offering a 360-degree breathtaking view and a constant contact with the sea. The stern hosts a fully-equipped, ready-to-enjoy beach area, featuring an exclusive, innovative system specially designed by the shipyard to launch and haul tenders, jet skis, and water toys. All onboard areas, both indoor and outdoor, are extremely versatile, to be fully enjoyed by guests and reflect their lifestyle and preferences. The Superfast and new designed 100 is proving to be a success for AB Yachts with one other unit with smaller engines delivered and two reported under construction for the Viareggio boat builder at Spring 2022.

New Model: AB Yachts 100

The AB Yachts shipyard, part of Fipa Group, is proud to announce the launch of its new 100 model.  The AB 100 is the first of new projects that Fipa Group is completing for the 2016 summer season and which will make their world premiere at the upcoming autumn boat shows.  Thirty meters which provoke their own fascination at first sight, yet with obvious "family feeling" with the AB Yachts brand and design, always synonymous with style and elegance.  Built using the latest generation of lightweight materials, with breathtaking exterior design, extraordinary performance, and taste and refinement in interior furnishing, all imperatives which have guided this new construction.  Hull and superstructure are painted in two different tones of metallic silver which emphasize the aggressive lines of the yacht which will surely get noticed during the upcoming season.  With its new 100, AB Yachts the sportier line of Fipa Group, which has always been flying the banner of water-jet propulsion will reach a top speed of 52 knots in maximum comfort and stability in navigation which characterize all AB Yachts models. This extraordinary performance will be achieved thanks to three MAN engines producing 1900hp each and MJP waterjets. Stepping on board, one will remain impressed with outstanding interior as well as exterior spaces offered by the yacht.  The main saloon, furnished mainly in light grey tones, is inundated with natural light through large lateral windows, thereby creating magical chromatic contrasts. It is divided in a lounging area with a comfortable sofa and a dining area with a fascinating marble table for eight people.  The helm is finished in dove-grey leather and incorporates all the latest technologies in order to guarantee safe and comfortable navigation.  Going down to the lower deck, the space is divided as follows: two guest cabins with double beds, one VIP cabin and one master cabin, all en-suite with private bathrooms.  The master cabin is located amidships and occupies the full beam of the hull. Spacious and bright, it features a very practical walk-in closet and a finely furnished bathroom with a spacious shower for two people.  The tones chosen for the lower deck also tend towards light grey with delightful touches of color provided by bedside table lamps.  The crew and service area is located at the bow and starts with a modern and spacious galley which is fitted with a comfortable crew lounge. For more privacy, the crew area which is composed of two twin cabins and one bathroom, also has a separate access from the outside deck.  The exterior is designed to make the moments spent in open air very comfortable and exciting. The hidden sport bridge features a second steering position, an L-shaped sofa and two sunbeds. The fore-deck features two coffee tables, a spacious U-shaped sofa and another comfortable sunbed. The aft cockpit, in addition to being fitted with every imaginable electronic domestic equipment available for exterior spaces, features a large dining table, a sofa and yet another spacious sunbed.  The stern garage, elegantly finished, transforms into a "beach house" which further improves the comfort of an already spacious bathing platform.  The AB 100 is designed for those who wish to enjoy cruising on their own terms in maximum comfort and in search of unforgettable experiences that only AB Yachts can provide.

Project: AB Yachts 166

AB Yachts shows rendering for the project of a new flagship the 166. Still waiting a signature on the dotted line, it will be a not so long wait of about two years for a complete new custom build, this depending on requested specification for the new AB Yachts flagship.  This model joins other Viareggio builders in presenting mega large super sport yachts with around fifty meters in length, with the AB Yachts being the third in the series. The 166 continues the family feeling of AB Yachts, but a big difference of this new model from its smaller sisters, is that here we have a three decks.  Impressive in the AB Yachts 166 will be the owners stateroom located on the main deck, and apart having two balconies which give abundance of natural light features also a separate access to the pool on the foredeck.  With the AB Yacht 166, Arnaboldi continues his sponsorship of Jet Propulsion, a trademark and specialization of the Viareggio builder, before it was part of the Fipa Group since founded in the nineties, and also a feature of the new flagship.  Sporting also an aggressive underwater Vee-shape hull with deep fore foot the AB 166 will be powered by triple MTU 4600hp engines giving a top speed of 48 knots and a cruise of 40.  Apart these impressive high end performance numbers which is a trademark of AB Yachts a 2500 nautical miles range is possible with  a 12 knots cruise.

New Model: AB Yachts 116

The 116 is the latest new model to come from Massa builder AB Yachts, a brand belonging to the Fipa Group, this one offering Sport Yachts of a unique modern concept with a performing style, slender aggressive hull and smooth lines. The 116 is a smaller version to the 140 introduced in 2007, and is also the third AB Yachts to offer a sport flybridge on top, what has become the latest must have accessory for big super open boats. The 116 interior spaces have been planned to get a unique comfort in an environment able to create a continuity between exterior and interior. When entering from the main aft patio door, the spaciousness, the choice for natural hard woods like Wenge and Durmast, leather fabrics with subtle color, create a salon with a unique impact. Large windows give also the idea of open spaces with the distribution of rooms studied in order to create a unique environment. AB Yachts has conceived also for the 116 another unique design, with a high level approach, that is manifested again in the attention to detail. The main deck is a true loft, and contains a living area with a U-shape saloon settee, followed by a dining table for ten guests, and a fully equipped bar corner. The wheelhouse located centrally is separated from the salon in a very discreet way through a panel that remains at half the height of the room, allowing full visibility of the main deck from any point your are inside. Down below a lightened salon TV room welcomes you to the lower deck. Here to mid ship aft is the spacious owner stateroom, bright thanks to the large view windows on both sides. To fore in the lower deck accommodation is the two twin guest en-suited cabins, and the VIP suite. There is also an additional room that can be used as gym or guest cabin. The crew quarters features the galley, and three cabins with relevant bathrooms. The exterior as any Super Sport Yacht is the symphony of the new AB Yachts 116 and welcomes you on board the cockpit with a unique attention given to the maximization of the spaces for relax like the wide sunbed aft that can be used as a sofa, and again to the fore deck with its private convivial area with table and settee. The sport bridge again repeats the theme of settees, a large sunpad, and a central located sporty second helm station. Like for all AB Yachts, the Massa shipyard 116 is built with Kevlar and resin infused sandwich for both hull and topsides, these aerospace materials guaranteeing lightness and a more solid structure. Three MTU engines of 2400hp each with triple MJP water jets propulsion give wide open throttle speeds of 46 knots to the new AB 116.

New Model: AB Yachts 92 Fly

AB Yachts presents its new 92 Fly. Many would think that this new AB is just a Fly Sport bridge version of the 92, but it is not so having this new model longer and wider hull dimensions. It is good to know that the principles of this builder of making a new hull per design still exist as at today. So far little information is available about the interior layout but being all AB Yachts custom builds, it is and can be anyone guess really. The flybridge for hull number one offered a central helm station with 2 seats, and two sun loungers one to fore of the station and the other aft. As usual for this Viareggio, Italian builder what will for sure be is having among the best in Jet propulsion performance and handling, but also high speeds in this case a 48 knots max. Construction is in sandwich with latest and best weight to strength materials: epoxy based vinylester resins, Divinycell coring, and Kevlar fibre, all applied with vacuum bagging technique.

New Model: AB Yachts 140

The new AB Yachts 140 is the biggest yacht ever produced by the Viareggio builder and continues the call for Jet Power only produced Sport Yachts. This relatively young builder founded in 1992 started as water jet powered craft specialist and this pays up in hulls which are designed and built around this propulsion showing up unbeatable handling and seakeeping characteristics. The water jet power and high performance hull is the only untouchable issue when choosing an AB Yachts, the rest is for the owner to decide. The 140, new flagship for AB Yachts offers what the smaller high performance models do and more! When one thinks of 40 plus metres 130 plus Tons with a top speed of 53 knots thanks to the big triple water jet MTU power engine option it has a WOW factor to it. Interior space in hull one is a four cabin offer with a spectacular ultra spacious mid-ship full beam owners cabin. A separate crew area with galley and 6 berths and 3 shower head is located forward.
