AB Yachts Launches the Third AB 130, the Brand’s Flagship. The Second Maiora 36 Exuma Also Successfully Launched
Viareggio, June 16, 2026 – Next Yacht Group celebrates a significant production milestone with the launch of two new yachts set to define the summer of 2026: the third AB 130, flagship of the AB Yachts brand and the ultimate expression of its philosophy centered on speed, innovation, and technology, and the second Maiora 36 Exuma, a model that has redefined the contemporary way of experiencing life at sea.
At the heart of this dual achievement is the AB 130, a yacht that stands at the pinnacle of the AB Yachts range and embodies the continuous evolution of a brand internationally recognized for its exceptional performance and its ability to anticipate the desires of owners seeking authentic emotions on the water.
These two new launches further confirm the industrial strength and design versatility of Next Yacht Group, which is capable of simultaneously developing yachts that differ significantly in concept and purpose while maintaining the uncompromising quality, technological excellence, and construction standards that define the Group’s entire production. On one side, the sporty, high-performance, and innovative spirit of AB Yachts; on the other, Maiora’s experiential approach and deep connection with the sea. Two distinct interpretations of contemporary yachting, united by the excellence of Italian craftsmanship and know-how.
With the launch of the third AB 130, AB Yachts further strengthens its position within the high-performance yacht segment. As the flagship of the fleet and the technological manifesto of the brand, the AB 130 represents the most advanced expression of the shipyard’s design philosophy: uncompromising speed, cutting-edge engineering, and a concept of onboard living that seamlessly combines excitement, comfort, and functionality.
