AB Yachts Unveils the AB 95: Bold Design and 50-Knot Performance

AB Yachts, part of the Next Yacht Group and long synonymous with power, speed and innovation, has introduced its latest creation: the AB 95. With 6,000 horsepower, a top speed of 50 knots and near total absence of vibration, it is the purest expression of the brand’s philosophy, combining extreme engineering with uncompromising design.

Measuring 28.45 metres with a 6.80 metre beam, the AB 95 spans three decks and accommodates up to ten guests in four cabins, supported by two crew cabins for four. Every detail reflects more than three decades of shipyard expertise, from advanced propulsion to fine Italian craftsmanship.

Design philosophy

The AB 95 represents a synthesis of performance and style. It combines the adrenaline of a 50 knot yacht with interiors designed for comfort and refinement, offering a seamless balance between speed and lifestyle. Each space is conceived not only as a technical achievement but as a setting to fully experience the sea.

Exteriors

The AB 95’s exterior was developed with Archea Associati, one of Italy’s most forward thinking studios. 

Together, they reinterpreted AB’s sporty DNA with a dynamic profile marked by a reverse angled bridge windshield, which expands the flybridge into a panoramic belvedere above the sea. Symmetrical staircases aft give both balance and fluidity, while the overall look blends elegance with raw performance.

Interiors

Light is at the centre of the design, with expansive windows, teak parquet and Italian leathers contrasted by subtle high tech details. Minimal yet warm, the style conveys a refined sense of ease while maintaining the yacht’s athletic character.

On the main deck, an innovative black lacquered galley integrates into the salon and doubles as a cocktail bar, creating a convivial atmosphere and freeing space below for an additional guest cabin. The aft beach club connects seamlessly to the sea, with storage for a tender up to 4.5 metres and a jet ski.

The lower deck offers four guest cabins, two full beam and two twins with foldaway beds, plus two crew cabins. Bathrooms feature ribbed wooden cabinetry, emphasizing handcrafted detail.

Sundeck

The flybridge is one of the yacht’s defining spaces, shaped by the distinctive reverse glass windshield. Two carbon staircases lead to this open air terrace, a place for relaxation and entertaining with uninterrupted views to the horizon.

Performance

At its heart, the AB 95 remains true to the brand’s sporting soul. Three MAN V12 engines, each delivering 2,000 hp, paired with MJP waterjets, propel the yacht to 50 knots with remarkable stability, silence and comfort, enhanced by a Seakeeper 26 stabilization system.

The result is more than speed. It is AB Yachts’ philosophy distilled into a yacht that unites adrenaline with artistry and technical mastery with timeless Italian design.
