ABACUS 61

At 18.66 metres with a five-metre beam, the Abacus Marine 61 is a Sicilian-built flybridge yacht designed by Fulvio De Simoni — an architect whose work defines much of what contemporary Italian yachting looks like. Twin CAT diesel engines delivering over 1,000 hp each power a GRP planing hull built using DIAB vacuum infusion, a construction method that achieves both structural rigidity and weight reduction simultaneously. The flybridge — the vessel’s social centrepiece — accommodates dining, sun lounging, and a wet bar beneath open sky, while the aft cockpit below provides a second alfresco space connected to the water via a hydraulic swim platform. Below deck, three staterooms finished in fine timber veneers and premium leather accommodate six guests across private en-suite cabins, each with air conditioning and considered storage throughout. A crew of two operate from dedicated quarters. Founded in 2003, Abacus Marine built its reputation on exactly this — speed and comfort without compromise, in equal measure.
