AB Yachts is bringing the beach to the back of its newest superyacht model. Designed in honor of the Italian yard’s 30th anniversary, the aptly named AB 120 Beach features a beautiful aft deck that allows seafarers to connect seamlessly with the sea.

The beach isn’t the vessel’s only draw, of course. The 121-footer combines sleek, sporty lines with innovative materials and the latest construction techniques. Glass and carbon fiber were combined using honeycomb and sandwich lamination, for example.

On top of that, the vessel is equipped with a waterjet propulsion system and three 2,600 hp engines that can reportedly push it to speeds in excess of 45 knots without comprising comfort or stability. With a draft of four feet, the go-anywhere cruiser is capable of traversing both deep and shallow waters. She also has a range of 500 nautical miles.

The interior is characterized by large glass panels that not only let in an abundance of natural light but also provide uninterrupted ocean views. The main salon, for instance, sports more than 500 square feet of glazing. Naturally, the living quarters can fully customized to an owner’s tastes. The designers have outfitted her with Flexform furniture in warm, natural hues to give you an idea of what’s possible. In terms of accommodation, she can sleep up to 10 guests across four cabins and five crew in three cabins.

Other highlights of the design include an open-air cinema on the flybridge, a convertible gym room and a chic, custom-built bar. There are also two large garages for your toys and tenders. If it were up to us, though, we wouldn’t leave the beach.

AB Yachts - Next Yacht Group

Italian luxury yacht builder AB Yachts was founded in 1992. From the beginning, the shipyard helped to pioneer the use of water jet drives to power its high performance yachts. In 2001, AB Yachts was acquired by the Fipa Group of yacht brands, which also includes Maiora, Intermare and CBI Navi.

AB Yachts’ philosophy has been to utilize the latest hull construction technologies, including advanced composites and resins, carbon fibre and Kevlar, to build lightweight yet strong, high performance yachts. Starting with smaller boats, the shipyard ultimately created a line of luxury production and semi-custom series models ranging from 17.70 to 42 metres, and has developed plans for superyachts up to 60.96 metres in length.

Notable Yachts

The golden-toned, 42-metre OxyZen is a state-of-the-art example of the shipyard’s craft. The first AB 140 superyacht model, she launched in 2007 featuring highly contemporary exterior and interior designs by AB Yachts in collaboration with Interin Srl & Associates. This five-stateroom luxury yacht is equipped with triple 2,400-horsepower MTU engines mated to water jet drives that give her an impressive top speed of 40 knots.
