The AB Yacht AB 100 is the definition of adrenaline on water. Crafted by AB Yachts, a brand under the NEXT Yacht Group umbrella, this 30-meter (100-foot) luxury superyacht is engineered for unmatched speed, agility, and elegance. With a sleek, sporty design and cutting-edge waterjet propulsion system, the AB 100 is built for yacht owners who crave performance without compromise.
A Design That Cuts Through the Water
With its futuristic lines and aggressive stance, the AB 100 doesn’t just glide — it slices through the water. The hull is constructed from advanced lightweight composite materials, significantly reducing displacement and optimizing performance. Her bold superstructure, tinted glass windows, and aerodynamic silhouette are unmistakably Italian, exuding sportiness and power.
At just under 100 gross tons and 30 meters in length, the AB 100 is also under the limit for more restrictive classification and crewing rules, making her easier to manage and operate.
Jet-Powered Performance
The AB Yacht AB 100 is powered by three MAN 12V2000 engines, each delivering 2,000 hp, coupled with MJP waterjets. This triple configuration allows the yacht to achieve a blistering top speed of over 50 knots, while offering precise control, minimal vibration, and ultra-shallow draft cruising.
Waterjet propulsion also means the yacht can maneuver quickly and stop within a fraction of the distance of propeller-driven vessels — ideal for navigating tight marinas or shallow coves.
Sophisticated Interiors
Inside, the AB 100 offers a perfect mix of performance-focused design and high-end comfort. The layout typically includes four guest cabins — including a full-beam master suite — and accommodations for five crew members. The interiors, customizable by the owner, reflect modern Italian design: clean lines, luxe materials, and panoramic glazing that fills the rooms with natural light.
The main salon features a blend of formal and relaxed seating, seamlessly connected to the aft cockpit through large sliding doors for indoor-outdoor living. A fold-out balcony enhances the sea experience.
Outdoor Living and Features
On deck, the AB 100 shines with a large sunpad area on the bow, an expansive flybridge with optional helm station, and a spacious aft cockpit perfect for dining or lounging. A hydraulic swim platform at the stern gives easy access to water toys and tenders.
Whether entertaining guests at anchor or blazing across the Mediterranean, the AB 100 provides the ultimate playground for thrill-seekers and yachting enthusiasts alike.
Why the AB Yacht AB 100 Stands Out
The AB Yacht AB 100 is the choice for discerning yacht owners who demand speed, agility, and Italian style in a performance-focused package. With waterjet propulsion, a lightweight hull, and fully customizable luxury interiors, it redefines what it means to own a sporty superyacht.
From Monaco to Miami, the AB 100 stands out as a fast, fierce, and flawlessly designed machine on the water — perfect for short getaways, fast coastal hops, or simply turning heads in any port.
