AB 130 For Sale

AB 130 is a 39-metre open superyacht in build at AB Yachts, the Italian builder that has made high performance its singular obsession. With a top speed of around 40 knots, she is among the fastest yachts of her size in the world, a genuine thoroughbred that combines blistering pace with elegant Italian style. She is offered ahead of delivery in 2027 with an asking price of EUR 18.7 million.

AB Yachts has built its reputation on a distinctive formula: lightweight carbon-composite construction paired with waterjet propulsion, delivering exceptional speed, shallow draught and remarkable agility. The AB 130 embodies this philosophy completely. Developed in-house, her design is clean, low and purposeful, the quintessential maxi-open profile, with vast, flexible deck spaces that flow seamlessly into the sea and an aesthetic that looks fast even at rest.

Performance defines her. Built in advanced composite to keep weight to a minimum and driven by triple MTU engines coupled to waterjets, she reaches around 40 knots, offering an exhilarating, sports-car-like experience utterly unlike a conventional displacement yacht. The waterjet propulsion also gives her an exceptionally shallow draught, allowing access to anchorages and cruising grounds that deeper yachts cannot reach, and enhancing her agility and safety at speed.

Despite her performance focus, the AB 130 offers genuine comfort and elegance. The accommodation hosts eight guests across four cabins, with a crew of five, and the layout is arranged around the open-yacht lifestyle: expansive sun-drenched deck spaces, a seamless connection between interior and exterior, and generous areas for entertaining and relaxing. As a yacht still in construction, she offers an incoming owner meaningful scope to shape the interior specification and finish to a personal brief.

For a buyer who values speed, agility and the unmistakable thrill of a true maxi-open, the AB 130 is in a class of its own. She combines AB Yachts’ unrivalled expertise in high-performance composite construction with elegant Italian design, offering an experience few other yachts can deliver.

The AB 130 represents the fullest expression of that expertise at this size, pairing genuine 40-knot capability with the comfort, finish and elegance of a luxury yacht.

For an owner who wants a yacht that is as thrilling to drive as it is beautiful to behold, and who relishes the freedom, agility and shallow-water access that waterjet propulsion brings, the AB 130 offers an experience unlike anything else on the market.
