Aston Martin debuted its first powerboat - the AM37 - in collaboration with Quintessence Yachts, at the Monaco Yacht Show on 28th September. The new 11-metre day cruiser is offered in two versions; with the AM37S expected to reach speeds of 50 knots (93km/h). The AM37 is the result of two years of research and development, challenging the status quo of the nautical world and combining the best in innovative technology and bespoke craftsmanship.
The AM37 was a true team effort, bringing in the most experienced Aston Martin designers to style and create a truly unique product. Aston Martin's master craftsmen who worked on cars like the One-77, Aston Martin Vulcan, and the new DB11; provided their automotive experience, which was reinterpreted onto the boat with outstanding results.
Aston Martin's Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, and his design team collaborated closely with Naval Architect Mulder Design to ensure every element of the project was carefully considered. Sharing creative expertise and specialist skills, Quintessence Yachts engineered the Aston Martin design into an innovative powerboat for the yachting world.
The AM37 is a day cruiser that can be transformed into an overnight berth by transforming the table into a comfortable bed. The cabin is well appointed with mood lighting and air-conditioning. With a refrigerator, microwave oven, and coffee machine, as well as a lavatory on board; absolute comfort is guaranteed. Crafted from the finest leathers, elegantly laid out rear seating is available for up to eight people.
At the helm, the AM37's carbon fibre dashboard echoes styling elements from Aston Martin's most advanced sports cars. It includes fine leather with functional features, such as the steering wheel, throttle handles, and joystick in polished metals. The boat's navigation, control monitor, and entertainment systems are all integrated with advanced multimedia functions.
The 11-metre model is available in two versions - the AM37, with an estimated top speed of 45 knots (83km/h) and a choice of two 370bhp Mercury diesel or two 430bhp Mercury petrol engines, as well as the AM37S, with an estimated 50 knots (92km/h) derived from its twin 520bhp Mercury petrol engines.
