“Diamond”

Using materials and technology originally developed for the aerospace industry, the ground-breaking 36-metre AB 116 is both light and strong. With three MTU 16V2000 M93CR engines, each producing 2400 HP, and three MJP waterjets, the AB 116 reaches top speeds of up to 40 knots offering the almost complete vibration-free experience the Massa-based shipyard is now renowned for.

DescriptionDiamond was built by AB Yachts in Viareggio, Italy. It was delivered to an American client on the last day of December in 2012.  AB Yachts was created in 1992 with the goal of setting the standard in the world of pleasure yachting. Since then, it has taken distinctive steps in the boat building world. For the first time we have seen jet drives applied to high performance craft with small dimensions. Specifically researched structural resins have been introduced, collaborating with the most innovative firms in the field of composite materials. Finite element design programs have been applied to optimize the sizes of existing structures. These are just a few of innovation introduced by AB Yachts, which is now a consolidated enterprise with ample spaces for building and completing yachts. AB Yachts is a future-oriented shipyard. 2022 Upgrades: full paint, new exterior teak decks, new salon flooring, new electronics   https://youtu.be/g3pScvL0_LQ  video link
