AB Yachts 116

At 36 metres, the AB Yachts 116 carries the low, purposeful profile of an open-hulled motor yacht built for speed as much as presence. Five cabins keep the guest count to a manageable twelve, so the layout favours space and privacy over sheer numbers — deck areas read as generous rather than crowded, and the transition from saloon to open air feels immediate rather than staged.

From Puerto Banús, the AB Yachts 116's pace makes the run out toward Estepona and the quieter water near Punta de la Chullera a realistic half-day option, not just a theoretical one — useful for guests who want distance from the busier beaches without losing a full afternoon to travel. For groups considering a longer push toward the Strait of Gibraltar, the yacht's performance is an asset, though that route still calls for tidal planning and an experienced captain rather than a casual detour.

Booked for a single afternoon or a multi-day stretch along the coast, the yacht suits parties who want a fast, private boat without the footprint of a much larger superyacht — anniversary charters, small corporate groups, or families splitting time between swimming stops and cabin rest. Fuel use scales with how far the day runs, so we talk through realistic APA and fuel estimates before booking rather than after, particularly if a Gibraltar Strait leg is on the table.
