Aston Martin collaborated with Quintessence Yachts and Mulder Design to create its first yacht, the AM37, a 37′ powerboat.
Quintessence Yachts, whose founder is a classic Aston Martin owner, approached Aston Martin to design the AM37 in conjunction with Mulder Design.
It will be available in two versions, will feature a hi-tech composite structure allied to luxury sports car-like handling, performance and comfort.
The AM37 will have its on-water debut during the Monaco Yacht Show in September, Quintessence Yachts confirmed and is expected to launch in Q4 of 2015.
Mariella Mengozzi, CEO at Quintessence Yachts, said: “The Aston Martin Design department has been working seamlessly with the Quintessence R&D unit and naval architect Mulder Design in Amsterdam to achieve a true example of design purity.”
The Aston Martin’s naturally-aspirated engines will not be used in the AM37 to start with, although the company has not ruled out marinising a V8 in future. In the meantime, all of the engine options on the AM37 will be twin Mercury set-ups, ranging in power from 370hp to 662hp – the latter will be capable of a top speed in excess of 60 knots.
Naval architect, Bas Mulder, provides the yachting expertise behind the vacuum-infused composite hull. When combined with a carbon fibre superstructure, this should deliver the handling, performance, and comfort of a luxury sports car.
Marek Reichman, Design Director at Aston Martin, said, “There is something missing in the world of yachts, which is that emotional connection to a depth of heritage outside of where boats are currently.”
Aston Martin signature flourishes include the iconic winged emblem on the transom and a rear diffuser.
The main deck layout will feature twin helm seats ahead of a u-shaped cockpit seating area. Other premium features include a voice-activated navigation and entertainment system.
