AB 116 Ecrider

The Italy-based shipyard AB Yachts has recently presented one of their new projects: the AB 116 superyacht named Ecrider. This elegant vessel is the epitome of sportive strength. With an overall length of 36 meters, this beauty captivates with its elegance, as well as with adrenaline caused by the triple 2400hp MTU engines linked to the waterjet drives that bring the boat up to a cruising speed of 44 knots and a top speed of almost 50 knots.

That being said, the other “strong” advantages - originally developed for the aerospace industry - are the technology and the materials that were applied during the construction process. Looking at its sleek appearance, one can somehow sense the sumptuous interior of this yacht and those predictions do really come true. To be specific, the vessel features one master, two double and two twin cabins (all situated below decks), hence accommodating up to ten guests. Each apartment consists of a cozy stateroom with extensive storage space and a lavish en suite.

The spacious aft deck area has a big swimming platform and modern lounge space. The feeling of freedom can also be reached inside the boat thanks to the panoramic windows of the Ecrider’s main saloon that allows daylight to fill the room and passengers to have the pleasure of an unforgettable view during the cruise.
