When AB Yachts was founded in 1992, it had a singleminded strategy: Think outside the box and create a fast boat for those cruisers addicted to the enjoyment of taking it slow. To accomplish that, the Italian shipyard turned its engineers and designers loose. Nothing was ruled out – computer modeling, aerospace concepts, non-standard solutions, state-of-the-art adhesives, ultramodern composites – whatever it took to capture this particular clientele.
As a result, AB Yachts ended up pioneering the production of water-jet engines for smaller luxury yachts. It turns out that water-jet propulsion is the best system for those looking for superior performance, comfort, maneuverability and safety. (Some of the earlier models also run standard motors along with water-jet engines, increasing the range and speed.)
Water-jet propulsion is a game-changer, especially when you pair it with advanced construction technologies, lightweight, efficient composite hulls and bolt-less connections and advanced adhesives. AB Yachts – now the worldwide leader in this market segment – depended on these cutting-edge materials and technology to deliver safe, powerful, vibration-free yachts.
