The first Aston Martin powerboat has been delivered to its owner

The first Aston Martin powerboat has been delivered to its owner to be berthed in Miami.

The boat was built in the UK by Quintessence Yachts and customised with features including air con, Azius joystick piloting and twin 520hp petrol engines from Mercury Racing giving a top speed of around 50K.

“AM37 is a pure translation of the Aston Martin DNA into an entirely new maritime concept,” explained Aston Martin’s EVP and chief creative officer, Marek Reichman. “The powerboat reflects our values in terms of power, beauty and soul.”

And he added that one of the most important attributes for the craft was to ensure the design was ‘beautiful and timeless’.

Other features include a sliding cockpit cover which can be remotely operated with a mobile app.

Maritime and automotive worlds are fused

Navigation, control monitor and entertainment systems are integrated within a 15in touchscreen in the dashboard, with advanced functions to control the electric anchor, retractable bimini and retractable swim platform.

Extra sound insulation around the engine has been provided to comply with noise regulations on the Swiss lakes. The deck is constructed from carbon fibre.

“By fusing the maritime and automotive worlds with the universal characteristics of style and elegance, AM37 offers the perfect balance of design and engineering, performance and comfort, luxury and functionality,” added Quintessence Yachts CEO Mariella Mengozzi.

The 37ft AM37 made its debut at the Monaco Yacht Show last year, marking Aston Martin’s entry into the nautical market.

The craft is designed by naval architect Mulder Design.
