If you’ve ever dreamed of a sports car that floats, flies across the sea at 55 mph, and opens up to let the sun pour in—AB Yachts just made it real. The Italian builder’s newest release, the AB 110S, is a 100-foot luxury superyacht that doubles as a hardtop convertible for the ocean. And it’s not just about looks. It’s fast, aerodynamic, and loaded with tech that transforms the high-seas experience into something far more thrilling.
The 110S marks the latest evolution in AB Yachts’ performance-focused fleet. It’s the eighth model in the current lineup and the brand’s first collaboration with EXE Design, an Italian studio best known for automotive design. That partnership shows instantly in the yacht’s sculpted silhouette, bold lines, and a sharply raked windshield that feels more Formula One than flybridge cruiser.
What sets the AB 110S apart? Start with the engineering: it’s equipped with three MAN V-12 engines, delivering a total of 6,600 horsepower. That pushes the superyacht to a top speed of 48 knots (55 mph)—faster than many sports boats half its size. And thanks to AB’s signature vibration control and full soundproofing around the engine room, you get all the adrenaline with none of the noise.
But this isn’t just a performance machine—it’s built to host, relax, and impress. One of the standout features is the retractable hardtop flydeck, which opens and closes at the push of a button, creating either a sun-drenched sky lounge or a shaded upper helm in seconds. The cockpit features a sliding slat system that expands or contracts the shaded area based on your mood. And a sleek retractable sunroof over the helm and salon lets you control light and airflow through the heart of the yacht.
Inside, light flows freely thanks to a transparent companionway—a rare design detail that blurs the line between interior and exterior. And on the bow, the so-called “flying couch” offers a raised, wraparound lounge with panoramic views and plush comfort, while the upper deck delivers yet another layer of luxury with a spacious lounge that’s perfect for long, golden-hour cruises.
Design lovers will appreciate how EXE Design brought car cues into the nautical space without overpowering the yacht’s function. Everything feels purposeful—from the aggressive profile to the aerodynamic angles—and it all blends with AB Yachts’ well-known DNA: speed, elegance, and control.
If you’re familiar with the AB lineup, the 110S slides in just above the AB 100 and alongside the standard AB 110, offering even sharper performance. The fleet also includes the AB 80, AB 95, AB 95S, and the flagship AB 130. But with the 110S, the brand seems to be saying: why settle for fast when you can also have flair?
Whether you’re cruising the Amalfi Coast or launching from Monaco to Ibiza, this yacht doesn’t just move—it makes a statement.
The AB 110S isn’t just another entry in the superyacht race. It’s a bold intersection of automotive inspiration, Italian craftsmanship, and next-level marine performance. With its retractable roof, flydeck versatility, and unmatched speed, this 100-foot convertible on water turns any voyage into an unforgettable ride. For those who crave style as much as substance, this is your next obsession.
