<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a>, in celebration of its 30th anniversary, has unveiled a brand-new model: the 37-metre AB 120 Beach. The AB 120 Beach has been described by the Italian luxury yacht builder as “a distillation of technology and innovative materials, state-of-the-art construction techniques, a sporty character and pure sensuality.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249606/image/large-78cdc691d34ea57d6e98e036484a389a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249606">But what is most striking about this latest motor yacht series, is that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> has done away with the beach club concept. Instead, the AB 120 Beach has a very generous aft terrace which, thanks to two large hydraulically-operated aft wings, spans close to 100 square-metres. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> created a direct and seamless flow from the main saloon to the water’s edge – “nothing,” as the shipyard states, “is between the owner and the sea outside”.Another core facet of the all-new AB 120 Beach is performance; she’s expected to travel at speeds in excess of 45 knots, without compromising comfort or stability. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> points to her build material – “a special construction technique using glass and carbon fibre composites, such as honeycomb and sandwich lamination” – coupled with a waterjet propulsion system, for this devilish quality. But it's not only speeds that have been fed into her DNA, it’s an ability to go-anywhere and explore those harder-to-reach places. With a draft of around 1.35-metres, she’s Caribbean and Bahamas-friendly. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249607/image/large-306c45962e1289ed8dbd42895bef1084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249607"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> has made great use of glass onboard its latest model – the main saloon alone is fitted with more than 500 square-foot of glazing. Guests can then benefit from an abundance of natural light and undisturbed panoramic views.&nbsp;The AB 120 Beach can be fully customised to an owner’s specific needs; however, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> has presented her with furniture by Flexform, which brings the latest model an ambiance enriched with warm tones and natural hues.

Can you say a few words about your vision for the company?&nbsp;There are two big gaps in the market which we are committed to plugging: the first is to align high-end performance with the ever-tightening expectations on efficiency; whereas the second is to reinvent the very idea of customisation in the more traditional flybridge market.This commitment to performance yachts is driven by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> arm of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6468" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Next Yacht Group (Company)">NEXT Group</a>. With the combined resources and experience from the unification, we will deliver the sportiest yachts on the market, which also comply with the new and rolling Co2 regulations. We will be pioneers in the world of high speeds and high efficiency, upholding our vision to be “better than the best”.In the more traditional flybridge market, we want to reinvent the very meaning of customisation - something we’ve already achieved with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> 30. Customisation has saturated the market for all the wrong reasons, it’s become an “abusive term” that refers to a freedom of expression over décor and design. We envision the term to mean much more, and to be utilised in its full potential: freedom to change the space itself. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/181551/image/large-c7a9abbdd4ad748ba99d9bbe014bf832.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/181551">Can you talk us through a few models where your vision has been actualised?&nbsp;As I just mentioned, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> 30 is the perfect example of this. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> 30 is the most liveable boat on the market in terms of space and embodies our commitment to customisation - in its true form, that is! We are providing our clients with the freedom to curate their yachts truly to their needs. And the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> 30 is just the starting point.Next year we will wed customisation with the efficiency of the newly designed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> 35 Exuma. She is a modern interpretation of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> line and is styled with crisp exterior lines.

This investment tempered our strength and quickly prompted schematics to be penned out for new facilities. Last year we started on a new outfitting facility in Massa, Italy, and we are now looking to expand our capacity in Viareggio - the investment through <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> is making all this possible.&nbsp;There was also the big take up of shares last year by GB Invest Holding AB who now holds the lion’s share of ownership with a 60 percent holding. GB Invest Holding AB is heavily invested in hotel proprietorship and wants to experiment with the possibilities of infusing two worlds: hospitality and yachting. The holding company is heavily involved and takes an active role in product planning and development. We are taking their focus on hospitality and tailoring it to the needs of a different type of consumer.How are you looking to grow as a company? Are you gearing more toward an increase of output, or are you turning your head to any new market segments?&nbsp;We don’t want to be a mass production manufacturing company, that’s for certain. The long and short of this is that it would distract us from meeting our customer’s expectations. The right size for this company is to always be producing less than 20 units per year.&nbsp;We will continue to deliver the range that we already have. But we are also tooling up to dominate the passion segment of agility and speed. There are plenty of clients who are eager to always one knot more, and we are interested in finding the solutions to meet these desires. In essence, we want to deliver the aquatic counterpart to the luxury automotive marques that deliver 0-60mph in under three seconds without compromising on class.&nbsp;At the moment we are working on nine different yachts, seven of which will hit the markets upon completion. In this offering are 3 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB</a> 100s &nbsp;which have a power delivery of 59 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/20615/image/large-0dcb500ff7f1ceb29931d150295ad695.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/20615">Finally, could you say a few words about the job itself?&nbsp;It has been a nice new adventure for me, and I’m surrounded by an excellent team. What’s more, is that we still benefit from Mr Guidetti’s insight for product planning. His smart and technical confidence is a huge asset for the company.The shift to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6468" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Next Yacht Group (Company)">NEXT Yacht Group</a> has been exciting, and I enjoy the passion for developing human relationships.
