The first unit from\u00a0AB Yachts’ 28.5-metre\u00a0AB 95S\u00a0series – the sport version of the\u00a0AB 95\u00a0– has been delivered to her owner. The delivery was announced by brokerage firm\u00a0FGI Yacht Group, with broker Simon Graham representing the experienced American owner in the project’s sale.<\/p>\n\n\n

The superyacht hit the water in March at the yard’s facilities in Viareggio, Italy, unveiling the model’s\u00a0Archea Associati\u00a0design, which is characterised by a “more aggressive” silhouette with sporty, flowing lines and a wraparound windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the shipyard, the AB 95S confirms its vocation for speed and technological innovation and was created to “further enhance the brand’s high-performance DNA”, resulting in a vessel that pushes the limits of speed to exceed a blistering 53 knots. The yard noted that the model is designed for owners “seeking pure adrenaline and the unforgettable thrill of speed on the water”.<\/p>\n\n\n

The yacht is characterised by an aerodynamic profile that visibly lowers her lines and enhances a “performance-focused” silhouette. Complete with an opening roof integrated into the superstructure, the AB 95S features a bright and open main deck and is fully equipped for entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On deck, social areas include an open cockpit and aft beach club, the latter of which accommodates a four-metre tender, jet skis and multiple inflatables with direct access to the sea. Accommodation on board is for eight guests with a full-beam owner’s suite decorated in an array of refined materials for a contemporary atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the shipyard, the use of insulated panels, leather and suede has helped to create a quieter environment below deck alongside reduced noise levels.<\/p>\n\n\n

Both the hull and deck are built in composite materials with an extensive use of carbon fibre to reduce weight. Hull one from the line is among the first to be equipped with three 2,200hp MAN V12X-2200 engines, propelling her to her high top speeds with “excellent” manoeuvrability. Key specs include a 6.8-metre beam and a shallow draught of 1.4 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOATPro\u00a0amounts AB Yachts to have five other superyachts currently in build, including two AB 130 units, the first of which was delivered last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
