SPECTRE - 30.5m

AB Yachts launched SPECTRE in 2016 with the Mediterranean's challenging wind patterns and varied coastlines in mind. Her 30.5-meter hull cuts through the mistral winds that sweep down from the French Alps, while her shallow draft opens access to secluded anchorages along the Balearic Islands where larger vessels cannot venture. This motor yacht transforms weeklong itineraries into fluid explorations between cultures. Morning coffee might unfold against the backdrop of Monaco's harbor, while by evening guests find themselves anchored in a protected cove near Corsica's granite cliffs. SPECTRE's range connects the glamorous ports of the French Riviera with the untouched beaches of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda, allowing charterers to weave together experiences that would otherwise require separate vessels or compromised schedules. Her design prioritizes the kind of spontaneous routing that defines memorable Mediterranean charters. When weather shifts or a particular village catches the eye, SPECTRE adapts. The yacht's proportions suit intimate groups seeking authentic encounters with local fishing harbors, hillside towns accessible only by tender, and the protected marine reserves where anchoring requires both skill and the right vessel dimensions. From the sun-baked islands of the western Mediterranean to the cooler waters near the Maritime Alps, SPECTRE turns the sea into a highway between distinct worlds. Her 2016 engineering reflects contemporary understanding of how guests actually want to experience these varied cruising grounds, with systems and spaces designed around the rhythms of exploration rather than static luxury.
