Aston Martin's first powerboat

ASTON Martin is going to sea.

The iconic British marque has teamed up with Quintessence Yachts and developed the AM37, its first powerboat. The innovative design is said to combine the expertise from the luxury automotive and yachting world.

Unveiled at this week's Monaco Yacht Show, the 37-foot day-cruiser is offered in two versions.

Power is courtesy of either a pair of Mercury diesel or petrol engines. Like its road-going models, the AM37 will be no slouch; the performance version can hit speeds of up to 50 knots, or about 92 kmh.

Best of all, owners of an Aston Martin car can get their boat in a matching colour.
