AB 100

Four cabins for nine guests is a close ratio on a 100-foot yacht, and the AB 100 earns it by opening her spaces rather than dividing them: a full-beam master sits amidships, a VIP cabin sits forward, and two twin cabins, one with an extra pullman berth, sit to port and starboard. A concealed sliding door joins the aft cockpit straight into the saloon, so the two areas read as one room rather than two.

Build and provenance

AB Yachts built the AB 100 in 2022 at Next Yacht Group's yard in Italy, a 100-foot monohull laid up in GRP reinforced with Kevlar and cored with Divinycell, the same construction carried through her superstructure. She is classed by RINA for unrestricted navigation, a notation a surveyor checks before any sale completes, and both her exterior and interior design came from AB Yachts' own studio.

Layout and accommodation

A crew of four run her from two cabins at the bow, apart from where guests sleep, with their own mess and a separate exit to the deck. On the main deck, guests dine al fresco at a table for eight, alongside a wheelhouse fitted with three pilot seats, so the working helm and the guest saloon share the same level rather than being split apart.

Performance and engineering

Three 2,000 hp MAN V12 diesels drive her through waterjets rather than shafts, giving her a 45-knot cruising speed and a 49-knot top speed. A Seakeeper gyroscopic stabiliser and underway stabilisers keep her settled at rest and at speed, and a bow thruster handles her in tight marinas.

On deck and at anchor

At the stern, a beach club opens onto a swimming platform and a hydraulic swim platform, built around a full day at anchor rather than a quick stop. Underwater lights mark the transom after dark, teak decking runs the length of her outdoor spaces, and a watermaker keeps her self-sufficient offshore. Wi-Fi reaches every deck.

Where she lies and how to see her

The AB 100 lies in Tuscany, on the Italian coast, where Boatcrowd can put together a viewing whenever it suits you and will be there when you see her. Once an offer is accepted, the survey and the sea trial come next, both arranged through us before anything is signed.
