PUSHING THE LIMITS OF PERFORMANCE YACHT DESIGN
The AB 110 was developed to continue AB Yachts’ long-standing tradition of combining extreme performance with luxury and innovation. The project focused on creating a yacht capable of delivering superyacht comfort while maintaining the speed, agility and shallow-water access traditionally associated with smaller performance vessels.
The vessel was designed around seamless transitions between interior and exterior living spaces, maximizing onboard usability while preserving the sleek profile and lightweight characteristics required for high-speed operation.
DUAL MJP 500 DRB WATERJETS WITH CENTRAL BOOSTER
Marine Jet Power supplied dual MJP 500 DRB steerable waterjets together with a central booster to create a propulsion package optimized for speed, control and efficiency.
The propulsion system provides:
• Top speeds exceeding 50 knots
• Smooth acceleration and responsive maneuverability
• Reduced vibration and improved onboard comfort
• Precise low-speed handling during docking and maneuvering
• Shallow-water operation with minimal underwater appendages
Combined with three MAN V12-2000 engines and lightweight composite construction, the waterjet configuration delivers an exceptional balance of performance and usability.
HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The AB 110 delivers a unique combination of speed, comfort and accessibility:
• Speeds above 50 knots
• Cruising range of approximately 460 nautical miles
• Access to shallow bays, beaches and anchorages
• Exceptional handling and maneuverability
• Reduced vibration and noise compared to conventional propulsion systems
The yacht demonstrates how advanced waterjet technology can enhance both performance and the overall ownership experience, enabling faster travel and greater freedom of exploration.
WHY MJP 500 DRB
MJP 500 DRB waterjets deliver high thrust, exceptional maneuverability and low vibration, making them ideal for performance yachts operating at high speeds. The mixed-flow design provides strong acceleration and efficient cruising performance, while the double reversing bucket system ensures precise control during docking and low-speed maneuvers. Combined with a booster, the system offers an outstanding balance of speed, comfort and shallow-water capability. Learn more about the MJP DRB waterjet series.
