The company’s 2025 activity included 10 sales across AB Yachts and Maiora, six launches and four deliveries. It also staged the world premieres of the AB95 (Issue 86 front cover) at the Cannes Yachting Festival and Maiora’s 36 Exuma at the Monaco Yacht Show, and unveiled four new projects: AB Yachts’ AB110s and Maiora’s M|30, M|38 and 42 Exuma superyachts.
Giacomo Benelli, Chief Sales Officer of Next Yacht Group, said: “In recent years, Next Yacht Group has seen extraordinary growth, strengthening its international presence and revitalising the Maiora and AB Yachts brands with clear vision.

“In this regard, the Group’s presence at major international boat shows has been redesigned and strengthened, with stops in Dubai, Palm Beach, Venice, Cannes, Monaco and Fort Lauderdale.”
At the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the company debuted its Next AI-Integrated System onboard an AB110, with live demos showcasing the new system and its partner apps, My AB and My Maiora. The system can autonomously manage all onboard functions without relying on an internet connection and will be available across the shipyard’s entire range later this year.

Giorgio Mattei, Vice President of Next Yacht Group, said: “The past year stands out for concrete and measurable achievements, obtained in remarkably short timelines for the yachting sector, confirming the Group’s solidity and the effectiveness of the growth strategy we have undertaken.
“We have succeeded in combining artisanal excellence, technological innovation and industrial vision, laying solid foundations for future challenges. Our three-year industrial plan will allow us to grow further, with new models, strategic partnerships and expansion of production facilities starting in 2026.”
