Next Yacht Group has unveiled the Next AI-Integrated System, the world’s first local-first Artificial Intelligence assistant for luxury yachts, at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). Designed to enhance the onboard experience for owners and crews, the system operates entirely offline — ensuring full privacy, data security, and reliability even without an internet connection.
Developed in partnership with AI Technologies and YES Group, the platform integrates seamlessly with all onboard systems, allowing direct control of lighting, climate, entertainment, and key operational data such as fuel, water, and maintenance schedules. Installed directly on board, the AI acts as a “digital concierge,” capable of interacting naturally with users while maintaining total autonomy from the cloud.
Unlike traditional, cloud-based yacht management tools, the Next AI-Integrated System functions as a self-contained digital ecosystem — a local brain that keeps all data, models, and communications on board. This local-first design guarantees instant response times and uncompromised confidentiality.
Owners and crew can access the system via the new My AB and My Maiora apps, which debut in tandem with the platform’s first live demo aboard the AB 110 model at FLIBS 2025.
“With this highly innovative project, we are redefining the onboard experience,” said Giorgio Mattei, Deputy Chairman of Next Yacht Group. “Luxury today means simplicity, security, and control. Our AI assistant works anywhere — even in the middle of the ocean — safely, continuously, and independently.”
The Next AI-Integrated System will be rolled out across all Next Yacht Group models, including AB Yachts and MAIORA, starting in 2026, marking a major milestone in the digital transformation of the yachting industry.
