Marrying Rational And Romantic

Scheduled to debut in Asia in 2021, Absolute’s new Navetta 64 has the simple, vertical exterior lines that characterise this shipyard’s yachts. However, on a design where logic and intelligence rule, a poetic touch shows that even the most rational of us appreciate the romance of life at sea.

Absolute is the shipyard that uses unfailing logic to go the extra mile and make every aspect of life aboard as flexible as possible, but on the Navetta 64 they went the extra mile and a half.

A wide, submersible aft platform makes boarding the boat easy and welcomes you immediately to arguably the highlight of the yacht. Right in front of you, what’s typically a garage has been set up as a beach club, which in turn can become a fourth cabin.

The setup is another one of Absolute’s feats of logical thinking. Double sliding doors in smoked glass are fitted with an inflatable gasket so that they’re watertight when the yacht is in motion. Inside, a sofa has a convertible backrest that folds down to become a double bed.

Guests will find everything they need to use the space as both a beach club and a cabin – a sound system, fridge, an air-cooling system, storage spaces, TV and ensuite bathroom. The swim platform can also be shaded by a removable awning.

This beach-club cabin is a real superyacht touch that allows owners and guests to enjoy a day on the water then sleep about as close as you can get to the elements while still staying dry.

The symmetrical steps that lead up to the aft cockpit are elegant and also handy while docking. The cockpit area, with a large table, banquette seating and lateral openings under the gunwale, connects seamlessly to the galley in the saloon and offers easy views onto the water.

Cesare Mastroianni, Chief Commercial Officer and Vice President of Sales, says: “We are very careful about the quality of life aboard, of the functionality of the spaces we offer and how the user can experience them.”
