Aston Martin, the luxury car manufacturer of 007 fame, has teamed up with Quintessence Yachts to create the sexy new AM37 that debuted in 2016 at the Monaco boat show.

**Aston Martin AM37**

**Aston Martin AM37**

**Aston Martin AM37**
*Never Say Never Again*
**Fatima Blush:** “Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.”
**Bond:** “Yes, but my martini is still dry. My name is James.”

**Aston Martin AM37**
*Never Say Never Again*
**Largo:** “Do you lose as gracefully as you win?”
**James Bond:** “I don’t know, I’ve never lost.”

From her razor-sharp bow to her twin 370-horsepower Mercury diesels (speed at WOT should be 45 knots), everything about this boat says bad-guy-chasing fun. Intended to be used primarily as a day boat, the AM37 offers large expanses of teak deck for laying out and soaking up the sun as well as space for 7 adults to converse comfortably in the cockpit. A small, yet conveniently placed, fridge to starboard will keep guests refreshed.

Should inclement weather threaten your day on the water, a three-piece, carbon fiber roof encapsulates the cockpit. (A request for comment as to whether they would build a bullet-proof canopy was not immediately returned.)

And should you opt to spend the night, a high-lo table converts to a berth and a head, microwave, and coffee maker ensure you stay comfortable.

Check out these drool-worthy shots of the AM37 (along with some of our favorite Bond quotes) and tell me you don’t hear the James Bond theme song in your head:
