AB Yachts 116

Onboard the AB Yachts 116

At 36 metres, the AB Yachts 116 carries five cabins for 12 guests, a configuration that keeps groups from doubling up on tenders or waiting for shower turnarounds. The proportions of a yacht this length mean genuine separation between the cabin deck and the saloon and aft cockpit spaces used for dining and lounging, so a full guest list can spread out rather than converge on one sundeck.

In Saint-Tropez this size of yacht typically anchors in the Gulf off town rather than taking a berth in the Nouveau Port, where quay space for vessels over 30 metres is limited and allocated well ahead of the July and August peak. From an anchorage south of town, tender runs to Quai Jean Jaurès put guests ashore for the market, restaurants and evening life without the yacht needing a marina slot. The five-cabin layout and deck space also make the AB Yachts 116 workable for a corporate afternoon on the water — a client lunch or small hosted gathering set against the Gulf and the view back toward the village, with the boat providing a private setting away from the quay rather than a berth-side spectacle.

This is a yacht for a group that wants five distinct cabins rather than a single owner's suite dominating the layout — multi-generational families, a corporate party split across departments, or friends travelling as couples who each want a closed door. Given the size, a two-night or longer charter suits it better than a single afternoon out, and guest numbers and cabin allocation are worth confirming against the exact itinerary before booking, particularly if the plan includes a passage toward Port Grimaud or further west, since routes and berth or anchorage options shift with the season.
