Italian shipyard AB Yachts, part of the Fipa Group, has delivered its 35m superyacht Diamond.

The motoryachtm, part of the AB Yachts’ AB 116 series, has been built using materials borrowed form the aerospace industry, ensuring she is very light weight whilst also having high strength and solidity. According to interior designer Guide de Groot design, “she displays the sleek, tapered and harmonious lines of an open, emphasised by an iridescent, lightly gilded livery.” A notable feature of Diamond is her flybridge, which is almost invisible to onlookers.

Guide de Groot Design is responsible for the 35m motoryacht’s interior styling. Having already collaborated with the Italian shipyard for a number of motoryachts, Guide de Groot Design has described the interior of Diamond as having “been conceived in order to grant the utmost comfort in an environment able to create continuity between the exterior and the interior.”


With no external images available of Diamond,we can only presume her exterior will look like that of her sistership (above)

She features a split level main salon, as well as a generous full beam master cabin with spacious bathroom and relaxation lounge. Diamond also features a fitness room that can be converted into a twin cabin, two further twin cabins and a VIP double cabin. The interior of the yacht has been described by Guide de Groot Design as “uncomplicated without being minimalist, with light colours and contrasting finishes.”

Diamond is powered by three MTU 16V2000 M93 CR engines, allowing the superyacht to reach a cruising speed of 44 knots and a maximum speed of 46 knots.
