Published: 31 Jan 2026
Next Yacht Group, encompassing Maiora and AB Yachts, logged a game-changing 2025, exceeding a total order book of €100 million.

Exemplifying the epitome of maritime majesty, Italian shipyard Next Yacht Group, the proud owner of revered brands Maiora and AB Yachts, not only navigated but dominated the high seas in 2025. The success wave peaked as their total order book overwhelmingly crossed the €100 million threshold.

Renowned for their commitment to both craftsmanship and innovation, the Viareggio-based shipyard tallied an impressive 10 sales, six launches, and four deliveries across its beloved yacht brands. Expansion too was on the horizon, with the introduction of four new projects that included the 33.7-metre AB110s, and the Maiora M|30, M|38 and 42 Exuma.

Incorporating technology without compromising on the artisanal excellence has been a compass guiding the Group to uncharted territories of success. A shining testimony to this approach was the unveiling of their first artificial intelligence platform, named ‘Next AI-Integrated System’, that promises to autonomously manage all onboard functions without the need for internet.

The future teems with promise, with chief sales officer Giacomo Benelli emphasising the continuous growth of Next Yacht Group. Heralding new models, strategic partnerships and expansion of production facilities in 2026, Benelli alluded to their upcoming appearances at illustrious boat shows in Dubai, Palm Beach, Venice, Cannes, Monaco, and Fort Lauderdale. The trio of these developments project a promising trajectory for the Next Yacht Group. It’s indeed onwards and upwards, or, more appropriately, full steam ahead!
