Absolute Yachts at Cannes with a contemporary and innovative collection
Absolute Yachts always stand out, whether you’re at a marina or a boat show. We’ve seen confirmation of this again recently at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where the Podenzano-based shipyard showcased the best of its collection, reflecting its contemporary and innovative approach to yacht design.
This year’s show promises to be particularly significant for the brand, as it will feature the majority of Absolute’s fleet, including the world premieres of two new models: the Navetta 53 and Navetta 70 that join the other nine boats moored in the charming Pantiero area of the sunny Cannes marina (booth PAN 214-008).
Navetta 53: a new chapter in the yachting world
The new Abolsute Navetta 53 embodies the shipyard’s relentless pursuit of innovation, delivering unparalleled cruising comfort and enjoyment, with elevated standards of liveability generally found in superyachts. Featuring attractive exterior lines and the brand’s renowned interior craftsmanship, Navetta 53 is a triumph of marine architecture. Highlights include stylish open gunwales, generously sized windows, superb seakeeping and prestige materials used throughout.
This is Absolute Yachts’ first yacht under the length of 70 feet to offer one of the brand’s hallmark features, a versatile and spacious cockpit terrace, ideal for hosting guests from dawn to dusk. Below deck, the accommodations reflect Absolute’s commitment to style, comfort and sophisticated design.
Navetta 70: redefining luxury yachting
Navetta 70 is an innovative addition to the luxury yacht industry, combining striking aesthetics with spaces designed to enhance the cruising experience. The stunning flybridge, available in two configurations, and the spacious galley and lounge interiors exemplify the brand’s characteristic design brilliance. Advanced technology, including solar panels, underscores the yacht’s sustainability, reducing fuel consumption and enhancing on-board tranquillity. It is no surprise that the keyword for Navetta 70 is “Allure”: this yacht is a masterly combination of contemporary engineering brilliance with classical Italian styling.
The rest of the Absolute fleet at Cannes
Other Absolute Navetta models on display in Cannes include the flagship Navetta 75, with its large aft terrace cockpit and superb full-beam owner’s cabin in the bow; the Navetta 64, which in the innovative Beach Club version includes a twin-bed cabin offering a fantastic view and direct access to the sea; the Navetta 58, characterised by an uncompromising combination of comfort and performance, from the sundeck in the bow to the privileged viewpoint offered by the flybridge with electric canopy; and the Navetta 48, with three luxurious cabins plus optional crew accommodation aft, and interiors of exceptional volume and beauty.
The Absolute’s Flybridge range will also be well represented: on display will be the 60 FLY, the 56 FLY, the 52 FLY and the 47 FLY. Each model in the Absolute Flybridge range is designed to offer excellent performance, comfort and versatility. The innovative features introduced by Absolute, and the mastery of optimised space guarantee an unrivalled sailing experience.
Finally, the Absolute 48 Coupé will be on display, featuring a sporty design with a wide platform, an aft cockpit connected to the aft galley, and a saloon with retractable glazed panels for optimal ventilation and views. The hard top with solar panels underlines Absolute’s dedication to sustainability and user comfort, allowing for silent anchoring.
