AB yachts Main data

Ab shipyard: crafting exceptional italian custom motor yachts ranging from 20 to 45 meters.

The Italian shipyard, established in 1992, initially focused on building small yachts before gradually advancing to innovative yachts and superyachts. Right from the start, the company made water-jet engines its hallmark. AB Yachts' trajectory was significantly shaped by its integration into the Fipa group of companies in 2001, a group founded by businessman and yachting enthusiast Francesco Guidetti. This merger provided AB Yachts with extensive production facilities and experimental opportunities. Prior to acquiring AB Yachts, Fipa Italiana had already taken over the Maiora and Intermare shipyards, and later added the large hull manufacturer CBI Navi to its portfolio. The spacious marina in Viareggio facilitated expanded after-sales services for all Fipa Group members, including repairs, storage, and refurbishments. In 2001, production was further boosted with the addition of over 100,000 sq.m. of space in Massa.

All AB Yachts vessels are crafted in Massa on the Ligurian coast, where the company actively embraces innovation and collaborates with leading experts in production and design. The shipyard introduced three key innovations: jet engines and water jets (even on smaller models), special structural adhesives (which reduce vibration and enhance structural strength), and computer modeling along with finite element design programs. AB Yachts is a pioneer in the use of composite materials, such as advanced composites, resins, carbon fiber, and Kevlar.

The model range includes six yachts with planing and transitional hulls, ranging from 24 to 44 meters in length, with two models (140 and 145) classified as superyachts. The shipyard's yachts are renowned for their sporty design, smooth ride, and distinctive layout centered around the salon on the main deck. A standout feature is the combination of exceptional speed and comfort. Owners have the flexibility to completely customize the layout, choose between a flybridge or hardtop, opt for the high-performance 100 Superfast trim, and avail themselves of comprehensive after-sales services.

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.

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 - Next Yacht Group

Italian luxury yacht builder AB Yachts was founded in 1992. From the beginning, the shipyard helped to pioneer the use of water jet drives to power its high performance yachts. In 2001, AB Yachts was acquired by the Fipa Group of yacht brands, which also includes Maiora, Intermare and CBI Navi.

AB Yachts’ philosophy has been to utilize the latest hull construction technologies, including advanced composites and resins, carbon fibre and Kevlar, to build lightweight yet strong, high performance yachts. Starting with smaller boats, the shipyard ultimately created a line of luxury production and semi-custom series models ranging from 17.70 to 42 metres, and has developed plans for superyachts up to 60.96 metres in length.

Notable Yachts

The golden-toned, 42-metre OxyZen is a state-of-the-art example of the shipyard’s craft. The first AB 140 superyacht model, she launched in 2007 featuring highly contemporary exterior and interior designs by AB Yachts in collaboration with Interin Srl & Associates. This five-stateroom luxury yacht is equipped with triple 2,400-horsepower MTU engines mated to water jet drives that give her an impressive top speed of 40 knots.

Company History

AB Yachts dates back to 1992, quickly identifying a niche and continually improving it. We are talking about the production of high-speed boats with water-jet engines for those who, in addition to the premium housing need more speed and drive. Today, the Italian shipyard leader in this segment, but for this she had to walk an interesting and difficult path of innovation and structural change. What would be the company, if it has not annexed in 2001, Fipa Group, we'll never know, but certainly this event had a beneficial effect on both sides of the transaction. Prior to this the group entered the shipyard >Maiora and >Intermare, Fipa turning into a serious player on the yacht market. Then it was time to become a member of a new family yards >CBI Navi is an experienced manufacturer of metal enclosures. Among all these companies AB Yachts stands out for the abundance of innovations and innovative solutions. So she is the first in the world to equip a small yacht powerful jet engines. Said "A" — it is necessary to speak and "B". Followed by the development of lightweight composite housings with innovative connection designs without screws, special glue, which levelled vibration and temperature jumps in the joints. Also came to the aid of computer simulation and even the achievements of the aerospace industry, as the load on elements of structures became very serious. All this has brought the company a world leader on the market of pleasure boats with water-jet engines. In the framework of the Fipa group of companies, AB Yachts also offers a full range of after-sales services, repito and storage vessels of its brand.

ABYachts is always on the cutting edge of technologies and materials. To facilitate construction without loss of strength, the company uses the latest composite materials such as carbon fiber, Kevlar, state of the art composites and rubber. Production capacity localized in Massa on the Ligurian coast, is responsible for the release of the whole range of models of the brand. Every year the stocks of the shipyard builds around 30 boats, designed and manufactured with a high degree of participation of customers.

Model range

The catalogue we find 8 stylish yachts. The core production of the shipyard to date account for >speed >the superyacht has a length of 35 -44,6 meters, equipped with >sportbridge. The size range represented more modest yachts from 17.7 metres which, like the older models, have an important signature feature of ABYachts — water-jet engine is paired with a standard engine installations that provide excellent high-speed characteristics and breadth of use. Maximum speed in the current lineup are impressive 54 of the node.

The Boat AB Yachts is often called "reactive". Indeed, the company has devoted all his attention to the idea of high-speed, durable and at the same time manoeuvrable and light yacht. The idea of the engineers to equip the boat water-jet engines has shown its worth and even served as the "engine" of permanent progress of the shipyard. Over time, the cannons easily moved on superyacht of the company.

Divers recover 5 bodies from wrecked superyacht off Sicily; 1 still missing

Associated Press

PORTICELLO, Sicily (AP) — Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five passengers Wednesday, leaving one still missing as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed.

Rescue crews brought four body bags ashore at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said a fifth body had been located. Divers on-scene said they would try to recover it on Thursday while continuing the search for the sixth.

The discovery made clear the operation to search the hull on the seabed 50 meters (164 feet) underwater had quickly turned into a recovery one, not a rescue, given the amount of time that had passed and with no signs of life over three days of searching.

The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early Monday as it was moored about a kilometer (a half-mile) offshore. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout.

Fifteen people escaped in a lifeboat and were rescued by a nearby sailboat. The body of the ship’s chef, Recaldo Thomas of Antigua, was recovered Monday.

Thomas was born in Canada, according to his cousin David Isaac, but visited his parents’ homeland of Antigua as a child, and moved permanently to the tiny eastern Caribbean island in his early 20s. Italian officials previously listed Antigua and Canada as the nationality of people on board.

The fate of six missing passengers had driven the search effort, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch , his 18-year-old daughter and associates who had successfully defended him in a recent U.S. federal fraud trial.

Lynch’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor’s Office investigators were acquiring evidence for their criminal investigation, which they opened immediately after the tragedy despite no formal suspects having been publicly identified.

Questions have abounded about what caused the superyacht, built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, to rapidly sink, when the nearby Sir Robert Baden Powell sailboat was largely spared and managed to rescue the survivors.

Giovanni Costantino, head of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the ship maker, blamed human error for the disaster, which he said took 16 minutes. “The ship sank because it took on water. From where, the investigators will say,” he told RAI state television after he met with prosecutors.

Costantino cited AIS ship tracking data which he said showed the Bayesian had taken on water for four minutes when a sudden gust of wind flipped it and it continued taking on water. The ship straightened up slightly and then went down, he said.

But was it merely the case of a freak waterspout that knocked the ship to its side and allowed water to pour in through open hatches? What was the position of the keel, which on a large sailboat like the Bayesian might have been retractable to allow it to enter shallower ports?

“There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether it had a lifting keel and whether it might have been up,” said Jean-Baptiste Souppez, a fellow of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the editor of the Journal of Sailing Technology. “But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side,” he said in an interview.

The captain of the sailboat that rescued survivors said his craft sustained minimal damage — the frame of a sun awning broke — even with winds that he estimated reached 12 on the Beaufort wind scale, which is the highest hurricane-strength force on the scale.

He said he had remained anchored with his engines running to try to maintain the ship’s position as the forecast storm rolled in.

“Another possibility is to heave anchor before the storm and to run downwind at open sea,” Karsten Borner said in a text message. But he said that might not have been possible for the Bayesian, given its trademark 75-meter (246-foot) tall mast.

“If there was a stability problem, caused by the extremely tall mast, it would not have been better at open sea,” he said.

Yachts like the Bayesian are required to have watertight, sub-compartments that are specifically designed to prevent a rapid, catastrophic sinking even when some parts fill with water.

The underwater search continued in dangerous and time-consuming conditions. Because of the wreck’s depth, which requires special precautions, divers working in pairs could only spend about 12 minutes at a time searching, though reinforcements outfitted with special equipment to enable longer dives were on the wreck Wednesday.

In all, some 27 divers took rotations, including four who helped with recovery after the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster off Tuscany. They called the Porticello wreck a “little Concordia,” fire crews said in a statement.

The limited dive time was aimed in part at avoiding decompression sickness, also known as the “bends,” which can occur when divers stay underwater for long periods and ascend too quickly, allowing nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to form bubbles.

“The longer you stay, the slower your ascent has to be,” said Simon Rogerson, the editor of SCUBA magazine. He said the tight turnaround time suggested the operation’s managers were trying to limit the risks and recovery time after each dive.

“It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said.

Divers were also working with debris floating around them, limited visibility and air tanks on their backs.

“We are trying to advance in tight spaces, but any single thing slows us down,” said Luca Cari, spokesman for the fire rescue service. “An electric panel could set us back for five hours. These aren’t normal conditions. We’re at the limit of possibility.”

Winfield reported from Rome and Kirka from London. Associated Press journalists Trisha Thomas in Rome; Andrea Rosa in Porticello; and Anika Kentish in St. John’s, Antigua, contributed to this report.

This story has been corrected to reflect that Thomas was born in Canada, not Antigua.
