Yacht owners wish to enjoy their time on the water with similar comforts they enjoy at home. The Absolute 52 Fly embodies this philosophy. A large sofa in the cockpit greets guests coming aboard. Within reach, there s a large table where as many as eight people can spend time together while enjoying beautiful outdoor views. The reclining sunbed on the flybridge is for anyone who wishes to sunbathe. A second sunbed can be found in the bow foredeck area by walking along the wide sidedecks. Here reclining seats help everyone enjoy the environment in comfort. When accessing the inner spaces, the dining zone has a table for lunches and dinners, offering unobstructed outside views through large windows. The galley features a full-size fridge, fiberglass stove, microwave oven, and optional dishwasher. It s conveniently located to serve both salon and cockpit, so that all areas look like one single fluid space. Going toward the bow, one s eye catches the helm station with its modern technology. Steering is a pleasure thanks to the comfortable captain helm seat and the precision offered by the IPS propulsion technology. At night, the lower deck treasures appear. The owner has a full-beam cabin furnished with double bed, sofa, and personal head. A few steps away, the VIP cabin has a double bed and another head compartment.

NAVETTA 58 If one were to meet an experienced, seaman, an old salt, one cannot but admire his experience and ability to handle most all situations on the water. The 58 Navetta was created with the old salt in mind, while simultaneously taking the modern yachtsman into consideration. Access on board can be chosen from one of the four entrances, two of which are on the stern platform and two directly from the side passages. The high bulwarks and protective gunwale along the entire side decks give a feeling of safety, as do the handrails throughout. All external areas provide those on board with clear views of the water. Safety is yet again emphasized by the great visibility from both helm stations, by the two independent accesses to the engine room, and by the vessel s superior maneuverability in all weather conditions. The comfort of the 58 Navetta can be found in many of its features: three sunbathing areas, two complete galleys, separate accommodations for the owner, three double cabins with private bathrooms and all accessories, household appliances, hanging lockers, and multimedia devices at owner s preference. All areas, from the master cabin to the crew area, from the engine room to the heads, from the living room to the guests quarters, feature the highest ceilings in the category. Floors without steps and fullsize doors are just like in a real home. As a result of years of experience with IPS technology, the Absolute-Volvo collaboration allows the 58 Navetta to achieve the best fuel economy in its category. 16 GLB May/June 2015
