Absolute will be exhibiting at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, presenting the 48 Coupé, Navetta 52, the 62 Fly, the Navetta 68, and the award-winning Navetta 75.

With over 1,300 boats, 1,000 brands, and an expected 100,000+ visitors, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is the largest in-water boat show in the world held right in the heart of the yachting capital of the world. This year's event will take place from October 25th to 29th in the sunny South Florida location, with water-taxi services offering a convenient way of moving throughout the seven show sites, including the Bahia Mar Yachting Center - location of the Absolute display.

The 48 Coupé - for which Absolute's keyword is "horizon" - embodies the sporty soul of luxury yachting, in which the brand's impeccable comfort is accompanied by dynamic lines, bold style, and the exceptional vistas offered by the open lateral gunwales and the glazed balustrades towards the stern. The same visual connection with the marine environment is found in the saloon with its extensive glazing, and the three superb staterooms below with large hull windows, and a degree of comfort unparalleled for yachts of this size. Absolute's commitment to sustainability is demonstrated by the 48 Coupé's roof equipped with solar panels, and the electrically opening windows that offer effective natural air circulation, reducing the energy required for air conditioning.

Navetta 52 - Absolute Appeal - offers all the brand's luxurious liveability, with the space and comfort found on much larger yachts, without any compromises on performance. The flybridge is a lofty open-air lounge, with a helm station surrounded by settees, a dinette and outdoor galley, and a stern area for relaxation on loose designer furniture. Relaxation and socializing continue at the bows, with settee and sun lounger, while the saloon features the 360-degree views that are an Absolute hallmark. The three staterooms below decks include a full-beam master stateroom midships, with panoramic windows, walk-in wardrobe, and ample storage space.

The 62 Fly - the Absolute Alchemy - offers the perfect combination of comfort, functionality, and beauty in a model with a wealth of innovation. One of its most recognizable features is the continuous mirror windows along the hull that offer exceptional interior brightness, in addition to fantastic views. Outside, its dynamic looks are accompanied by comprehensively equipped areas in which to enjoy the cruise, with a flybridge that incorporates a sun lounger, a double helm station, a table with surrounding sofa, barbecue and wet bar, and a terrace towards the stern that can be equipped with sunbeds. The saloon features the finest Italian interior design, hallmarked by timber, leather and quality fabric, while the accommodation below decks includes a full-beam master stateroom, a VIP stateroom positioned diagonally to maximize the space available, and a third twin with separate berths that can be rapidly converted into a double bed by means of an electrically controlled system. Another cabin aft is ideal for another two guests, or the crew.

Navetta 68 - the Absolute Vision - is a fine expression of Absolute's interpretation of contemporary luxury afloat. All the features of its roomy, practical spaces are designed for optimum comfort, as epitomized by the panoramic pillarless lateral windows in the saloon, which is seamlessly connected to the aft cockpit to create a vast open area surrounded by water for optimal socialization. Above, the flybridge terrace enables the owner to navigate in the company of guests, with ample space for relaxation, an outdoor galley with dining table, and a setting distinctive for its sleek design and the flexibility made possible by modular, easily rearranged furniture. As is customary for Absolute, the spaces below decks offer far more than would be expected from a 68-foot yacht, creating an on-water vacation hallmarked by perfection.

The award-winning Navetta 75 - the Absolute Sphere and the brand's flagship - won the Best Interior Design prize at the World Yachts Trophies 2022. Like all Absolute yachts, the Navetta 75 maximizes the sensation of generous space, giving the impression of a vessel of even greater size. The aft deck features Absolute's signature cockpit terrace, which enhances the feel of a boundless cruising experience by highlighting the sea view. The staterooms comprise a superb master suite in the bows for optimum silence and privacy, with large hullside windows and a spectacular full-beam bathroom. On the Navetta 75, everything has been carefully studied right down to the smallest details. Whether it is the comprehensive entertainment equipment, the interior lighting, or the beautiful furnishings, Navetta 75 is a constant source of pleasure for the owner, guests, captain, and crew.

We look forward to meeting you at FLIBS and showing you around our yachts. Absolute will be exhibiting at Bahia Mar Convention Center, Face Dock #5F.
