With its brand new delivery of the AM37 luxury boat, Aston Martin has officially entered the big bad boating industry. Having first been unveiled last year at the Monaco Yacht Show, it made a conjunction with Quintessence Yachts and showed off its boatload of carbon fibre.

Quintessence has said that it took “a holistic approach” to the boat’s weight balance and distribution, saying that they used “high-tech composite materials used in the construction of the stepped hull to provide the type of comfort Aston Martin car owners expect.”

The hull’s structural parts are made with a composite of epoxy resin and carbon fibre. The company notes that this is usually in aircraft and aerospace applications as well as offshore racing boats, and that epoxy resin ensures durability, strength, stiffness and is light weight.

The production process of the boat included a deployment “state of the art” vacuum infusion technology and post curing. Vacuum infusions allow full integration of the structure and interior modules, all of which are made out of sections of fibre glass.

The deck includes three carbon fibre panels which can be operated on electronically by using the AM37 key, which also fold under the aft deck to uncover the cockpit. Following the opening of the cockpit, the aft deck pushes back for better use of the extending swing platform.

In addition to this, the deck can be tilted to give access to the engine room. The bimini is also housed under the boat’s sliding deck, which can also be activated as soon as it’s opened. This is used for shade at any time of your choosing.

Aston Martin is using the boat as an exclusive purchase, with only 8-12 boats expected to be bought each year.
