Used boats under the lens: Absolute 52 HT

Absolute 52 HT  

Sporty and captivating. Absolute 52 HT is a 16-meter boat particularly sought-after by all those looking for dynamism and comfort on a yacht of this size, compact but with a slender profile, welcoming and suitable for family cruising. Built by Absolute Yachts and designed by Sergio Maggi, the Absolute 52 HT is a yacht that never goes out of fashion and maintains its appeal over the years, even when used. The electric hard top, which reveals the upper part of the deck, makes it a functional, “tasty” and always attractive coupe on the market.

Exteriors

On board the 52 HT, it is difficult to draw a clear dividing line between exterior and interior layout since the rooftop creates a unique environment with a salon and a galley overlooking the cockpit which, in turn, is partially covered by the hard top and can be fully sheltered by an electric bimini top when necessary.

The transom accommodates a large C-shaped sofa. The decking, both in the cockpit and in the stern platform, is made of teak while the side-decks leading to the spacious sundeck are protected by a steel handrail that runs along the perimeter of the bow.

The hull features very elegant and soft lines. Even the deck house, with its aerodynamic shape, seems to support the forward movement of this coupe with an “enterprising” spirit.

Interiors

As mentioned above, part of the interior is one with the deck. The lounge area houses a dinette on the starboard side and a galley on the left.

This space is ample and bright. The finishes, in light shades, are essential and refined. The helm station guarantees total driving comfort, equipped with an electric seat, both sitting and standing.

The night area consists of three cabins, each with two beds and en-suite bathroom.

The master cabin, furnished with a double bed, enjoys an amazing panoramic view thanks to a large window on the starboard side which offers the feeling of being in close contact with the water.

Engines

The boat reaches a cruising speed of 26 knots and a top speed of 34. The propulsion most commonly installed on the Absolute 52 HT consists of twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 435HP engines. Of course, the overall value of the boat depends on the number of engine hours.
