AB 80 モーターヨット

49 knots is her cruising speed, and 54 her top one: on the AB 80, speed is not an option, it is the design brief. AB Yachts completed her in 2026 as a stock new build, so a buyer takes her on as a first owner rather than a second. At 83 feet with room for eight guests, she is built to make a fast day on the water comfortable, not just possible.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull sports motor yacht from AB Yachts, a 2026 build with no refit history to account for since she has come straight from the yard to market. Three 2,000 hp MAN V12 engines drive twin waterjets rather than conventional shafts, the propulsion behind the speed that defines her.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests: a full-beam owner's suite, a VIP cabin and two twin cabins for guests, arranged so the owner's space does not compete with the guest quarters. A separate crew area keeps service away from the guest decks, so the owner's suite and the twin cabins stay private through a day of entertaining.

Performance and engineering

That propulsion delivers a cruising speed of 49 knots and a top speed of 54, figures that put her firmly in planing-hull territory. Stabilisers hold her steady once she is off the plane and at rest, so the same boat that delivers a fast run also sits comfortably at anchor afterwards.

On deck and at anchor

Tropical air conditioning and Starlink-ready connectivity mean the AB 80 is set up to be lived on rather than just driven, whether that is a hot afternoon at anchor or a working call from the cockpit. CCTV covers her when she is left unattended at a marina berth, a practical detail on a yacht built to move often.

Where she lies and how to see her

The AB 80 lies in Viareggio, Italy. We arrange her viewings and are on hand for each one; once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before the sale is finalised.
