AB Yachts launch AB 95S, capable of 53 knots
AB Yachts, a brand of Next Yacht Group, announces the launch at its Viareggio shipyard of the first unit of the AB 95S, the Sport version of the AB 95, created to further enhance the brand’s high-performance DNA.
The AB 95S stands out for an even sleeker and more aggressive aesthetic. This Sport version features flowing, sporty lines with a wraparound windscreen—an iconic element that emphasizes the vessel’s racing character—and an opening roof integrated into the aerodynamic profile of the superstructure. This design choice visually lowers the yacht’s lines, enhances the purity of the design, and allows the main deck to be experienced with a strong open-air connection while maintaining the unmistakable AB Yachts silhouette.
The main deck is conceived as an open, continuous space. Aft, a true beach area by the water, is fully equipped and ready to enjoy, accommodating the tender and numerous water toys, including a tender of over 4 m, a jet ski, and multiple inflatables, all designed for easy handling. The cockpit welcomes guests into an ideal setting for socialising and relaxation, seamlessly connected with the interior salon. Large glass surfaces and the wraparound windscreen provide commanding views of the horizon, while the opening roof enhances the sense of freedom while cruising.
The helm station has been developed in collaboration with Fincantieri. Perfectly integrated into the deck layout, it reflects the brand’s technical spirit: ergonomics, total control, and advanced instrumentation designed for precise handling even at high speeds.
The use of insulated panels, leather, and suede creates quieter environments below deck and reduces noise levels.
Depending on the configuration selected by the owner, the lower deck can accommodate up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite. Careful selection of materials, finishes, and lighting creates a refined and contemporary atmosphere. A separate crew area ensures efficient operations and discretion during navigation.
The AB 95S is equipped with triple MAN V12X-2200 engines, delivering a total of 6,600 horsepower. Hull and deck are built in composite material with extensive use of carbon fiber, a choice that keeps displacement to approximately 93 tonnes and optimizes the power-to-weight ratio. In this configuration, the yacht exceeds 53 knots of top speed.
