FAST & FURIOUS

FAST & FURIOUS is a 44.60-metre motor yacht built by AB Yachts in 2016 to the AB 145 model, registered under the Cayman Islands flag. Designed in-house by AB Yachts, she is a vessel conceived from the outset around a single organising principle: performance. Her GRP hull delivers a maximum speed of 42 knots — a figure that places her among the fastest charter yachts at this length — while her 20-knot cruise allows sustained passage-making across the Western Mediterranean with practical efficiency.

FAST & FURIOUS accommodates 10 guests across 5 cabins, crewed by 7, and charters in the central Mediterranean: the Amalfi Coast, Italy, and Malta. The relatively contained charter range reflects the operational logic of a high-speed, shorter-range vessel — 740 nautical miles — optimised for intensive day programmes rather than extended ocean passages. She suits guests who want to cover significant distance between ports in a single morning, arrive in time for lunch, and be underway again before afternoon. Those seeking long-range blue-water capability or the sustained comfort of a displacement hull will find her purpose-built character pointed in a different direction.

AB Yachts built a dedicated following among performance yacht operators, and the AB 145 represents the builder's approach to combining interior volume with structural efficiency in a GRP planing hull at this scale. The in-house design maintains a consistent Italian aesthetic — clean exterior lines, purpose-built deck layouts, and interiors that balance practicality with visual clarity. At 338 gross tonnes, FAST & FURIOUS has the hull weight to remain composed at speed without sacrificing the responsiveness that defines her charter proposition.

The amenities aboard include at-anchor and underway stabilisers, a gym, swimming platform, exterior bar, BBQ, tender garage, and Wi-Fi. The water sports programme features iAQUA Seadart Pro units, Seawing II devices, a jet-ski, wakeboard, paddleboards, towable toys, and snorkelling equipment — a selection balanced between active water sports and the practical requirements of group charter. The tender garage accommodates support craft without external deck clutter.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
