New Model AB Yachts 140 Review

AB Yachts 140

The new AB Yachts 140 is the biggest yacht ever produced by the Viareggio builder and continues the call for Jet Power only produced Sport Yachts. This relatively young builder founded in 1992 started as water jet powered craft specialist and this pays up in hulls which are designed and built around this propulsion showing up unbeatable handling and seakeeping characteristics. The water jet power and high performance hull is the only untouchable issue when choosing an AB Yachts, the rest is for the owner to decide. The new 140, new flagship for AB Yachts offers what the smaller high performance models do and more! When one thinks of 40 plus metres 130 plus Tons with a top speed of 53 knots thanks to the big triple water jet MTU power engine option it has a WOW factor to it. Interior space in hull no.1 is a 4 cabin offer with a spectacular ultra spacious mid-ship full beam owners cabin. A separate crew area with galley and 6 berths and 3 shower head is located forward.
