AB YACHTS LAUNCHES THE NEW AB 110S: BOLDNESS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
AB Yachts, a brand of Next Yacht Group and long a symbol of power, adrenaline, and innovation, presents the new AB 110S: a unique project with a compact silhouette and sculpted volumes, designed to stir emotions, express a bold identity, and deliver even more intense experiences.
Measuring 33.70 meters in length and 6.80 meters in beam, the AB 110S features two decks plus a flybridge and
accommodates up to 8 + 2 guests across four cabins located on the lower deck.
The result of a collaboration between AB Yachts and EXE Design, the AB 110S translates a passion for innovation into a sleek, lightweight profile. The exterior lines are shaped to enhance aerodynamics and project a strong stylistic identity, conveying a sense of dynamism even at anchor. Beyond speed, design, and performance, the AB 110S introduces an original interpretation of onboard luxury and performance: combining comfort with a sporty soul, it embodies Italian craftsmanship, bold design, and a confident style that goes beyond trends to meet the real needs of those who live the yachting experience.
“This project was born from the fusion of automotive design language—developed to highlight the performance of the SPORT version—and an in-depth understanding of the technical and functional requirements of yachting,” said Stefano Bedoni of EXE Design. “EXE DESIGN has its roots in car design, one of our core areas of expertise, while we also boast over 20 years of experience in naval architecture. It’s from this dual competency that a yacht emerges where the two worlds blend harmoniously and coherently. This cross-sector approach is the real added value of our work.”
This new model is packed with features designed to enhance life on board, whether cruising at high speeds or enjoying more intimate moments at anchor. On the main deck, a strong personality is paired with a welcoming atmosphere focused on conviviality: the aft cockpit features a generous sunbathing area with sofas and light-lined furnishings, while the bar unit serves both the interior and exterior, creating a seamless visual and functional flow.
One standout feature enhancing comfort and aesthetics is the innovative retractable cockpit cover system. This refined mechanism consists of sliding slats that retract smoothly, naturally expanding the shaded area. Designed to improve outdoor livability both at anchor and underway, this system redefines onboard relaxation: offering maximum protection without compromising the yacht’s sleek lines, clean design, or the sporty spirit that defines every AB Yachts model.
Between the helm station and the salon, another innovative touch: a retractable sunroof with a transparent companionway, promoting natural ventilation and light, reducing reliance on air conditioning and artificial lighting. This functional solution enhances natural resources, respects the environment, and improves onboard quality of life.
At the bow, the flying couch takes center stage: a raised, wrap-around sofa offering a panoramic sea view, allowing
guests to fully appreciate the yacht’s dynamic nature and experience the thrill of the sea from a privileged vantage
point—turning navigation into a shared sensory experience.
On the fly deck, the AB 110S reveals its most sporty and refined essence with a retractable hard top—a true signature element of this model. Technically sophisticated and beautifully integrated into the yacht’s streamlined profile, it preserves the sleek silhouette and dynamic character.
Thanks to a fluid, fast, and silent motion, the hard top easily adapts shaded areas in real time: it can cover either the
helm station or the sun pad, delivering maximum comfort in all conditions while maintaining design harmony.
Technology, functionality, and aesthetics come together in perfect synergy, offering not just protection and versatility, but an onboard experience distinguished by elegance and innovation.
The central helm station, equipped with a folding dual technical seat with concealed valve system, ensures optimal
control and visibility, while the spacious, welcoming upper deck lounge area encourages relaxation and sociability true to the signature AB Yachts style.
The AB 110S is designed to deliver an exhilarating yet deeply comfortable experience. Equipped with three MAN V12X2200, 1618 kW (200 Hp) at 2300 rpm, it achieves a top speed of 48 knots. These exceptional performance figures are combined with classic AB Yachts features: no vibrations and total engine room soundproofing, thanks to the quiet efficiency of waterjets that ensure extraordinary cruising comfort.
