Simply Abu Dhabi XXIV

2 7 9 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I A ston Martin’s first powerboat, developed by the company in partnership with Quintessence Yachts, based in the Netherlands and known for their innovative design, the AM37 is truly a worthy addition to the car company’s line-up of beautiful vehicles. The sleekness of the ship calls to mind the lines and perfect angles of the Vanquish, and even somehow manages to hark back to the days of the DB5, where style was everything. There’s more to this ship than looks, however, as the AM37S version is expected to reach speeds of 50 knots, making it the perfect boat for those looking for a little power with their magnificent splendour. The 37-foot ship made its debut to the world at the Monaco Yacht Show on September 28, to a crowd hungry to see the British car giant’s first entry into the nautical world. Those who take the plunge with this outstanding newday-cruiser will have a choice of two versions, with the AM37S version offering slightly more power. Before it was revealed to the world, the craft underwent two years of extensive research, development and styling, with Aston Martin bringing in their master craftsmen, many of whomworked on the company’s most outstanding offerings, such as the Vulcan, DB11 and the One-77. The AM37, and the AM37S, Aston Martin claim, are designed to do one thing: challenge the status quo of the nautical world, and bring the best and most innovative technology and craftsmanship to the fore. Power.Beauty.Soul. Just some of the words that could be used to describe the extraordinary Aston Martin AM37 powerboat which was revealed in September at the Monaco Yacht Show.
