AB Yachts has released the first interior images of the 39.65m CASA BRI MARE, showcasing a bespoke family-oriented arrangement in its AB130 series.

CASA BRI MARE offers a look inside the third AB130

AB Yachts has released interior views of CASA BRI MARE, the 39.65-metre third yacht in its AB130 line. While images of a new yacht often focus on the exterior profile or machinery, this update shows how a fast motor-yacht platform can be tailored to a private family's preferences inside.

The shipyard is responsible for both the exterior and interior styling. The result favours restrained colours and repeated natural textures over dramatic contrasts, allowing the rooms to share a consistent atmosphere even as they serve different functions.

A palette designed for extended family use

Beige upholstery, light-brown parquet flooring and customised joinery establish the basic character. Pearl-effect lacquer, Alcantara and metallic details introduce variation, while dark onyx elements break up the otherwise pale arrangement.

On a yacht intended for family cruising, materials are more than a decorative decision. Upholstery needs to tolerate frequent use, floors must be practical for people moving between decks, and fitted cabinetry must work within the yacht's structure while remaining serviceable. The photographic presentation shows the desired finish but cannot by itself demonstrate long-term durability.

The 63m² main-deck saloon is a central shared space

The main saloon is reported to occupy approximately 63 square metres, accommodating both lounge seating and formal dining. This provides flexibility when guests want to gather inside in poor weather or when meals move away from the open deck.

At nearly 40 metres, balancing public rooms with private cabins and crew routes is a substantial design exercise. The use of a proven AB130 platform can reduce some engineering uncertainty, but each new interior specification still has consequences for weight, lighting, storage and installation schedules.

Customisation can be complex on an established yacht model

A production series offers owners a known hull form and broad general arrangement. A bespoke interior then allows changes to colours, surfaces, joinery and equipment, but those choices must be coordinated with existing structural boundaries, air conditioning, electrical runs and classification requirements.

Decorative materials such as stone need particular attention to fastening and weight. The quality of the finished interior is determined as much by the engineering behind the panels as by the texture visible in a photograph.

A design presentation rather than another yacht delivery

The news is the release of detailed interior imagery from CASA BRI MARE. It does not signify the sale of a new hull or the launch of an additional AB130. This is an opportunity to see how an established yacht series has been interpreted for one owner.

Potential buyers can use the photographs to evaluate the builder's style and level of customisation, then ask for technical specifications, layout details and construction records when comparing yachts of this size.
