The second unit in AB Yachts' 39.7-metre series, the AB130, has been launched. She is currently undergoing final tests at the shipyard's facilities in Viareggio, Italy.
The model boasts a sleek, sporty exterior that complements its impressive maximum speed of 40 knots, thanks to waterjet propulsion. One of the standout features of the AB130 is her "extendable" beach area at the stern, which sets her apart from other yachts in her size category. This area includes two large aft wings that deploy to create a "terrace on the sea."
The beach area seamlessly integrates with the aft cockpit and main saloon, forming a single, expansive convivial space that exceeds 100 square metres. A sea-view pool, which can be covered or uncovered as needed, completes this area, while an alternative outdoor space is available on the flybridge.
The main saloon, measuring 50 square metres, offers 360-degree views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior decor has been customized to meet the specific needs of the owners, who are described as "experienced yachtspeople who knew exactly what they were looking for."
The AB130 also features a float-in garage, capable of accommodating a 4.6-metre tender, two Jet Skis, Seabobs, and several inflatable systems. The model has a range of 450 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 35 knots.
According to BOATPro, AB Yachts currently has three units on order or under construction.
