AB Yachts, an esteemed Italian shipyard, stands among the world leaders in crafting large sports yachts with water-jet engines. Established in 1992, AB Yachts pioneered the use of these advanced propulsion systems in yacht manufacturing, setting a new standard in the industry. In 2001, AB Yachts became part of the FIPA Group, which also owns the renowned brand Maiora.

Situated in the Tuscany region, in Massa, Italy, AB Yachts’ shipyard covers an impressive area of 26,000 square meters of workshops and over 80,000 square meters of outdoor space. This spacious facility enables efficient and timely yacht construction, ensuring top-quality vessels are delivered to their clients.

Notably, AB Yachts revolutionized shipbuilding by incorporating aerospace technologies into their design process. By adhering to strict standards in temperature control, noise reduction, and vibration dampening, they ensure the utmost comfort and tranquility on board. The use of cutting-edge composites, resins, and adhesives replaces traditional connection methods, further enhancing the vessel’s stability and luxurious ambiance.

One of their key innovations is the preference for water jet engines, which provide enhanced safety, comfort, and speed. AB Yachts’ yachts can reach impressive speeds, ranging from 46 to 58 knots, thanks to this efficient propulsion system. Water jet engines also allow for easier maintenance and navigation in shallow waters, making them a preferred choice over traditional shaft drives.

AB Yachts offers a diverse portfolio, featuring series models of yachts ranging from 58 to 145 feet long. Additionally, they excel in crafting custom-designed projects like AB166 (50m), AB200 (60m), and AB233 (71m) to meet individual client preferences. Each yacht, regardless of size, boasts an exceptionally high level of customization, from interior styles to the layout of every room and compartment.

The shipyard places great emphasis on after-sales service, ensuring a seamless experience for its clients. They provide comprehensive maintenance, storage, and refit services, with a committed team of service engineers readily available to address any technical concerns within 48 hours in the Mediterranean and 72 hours globally. The FIPA Group offers assistance in yacht management, from crew recruitment to handling tax, certification, registration, and flag change services. AB Yachts continues to set the bar high, delivering exceptional luxury yachts and ensuring unparalleled support throughout the yacht ownership journey.
